Special Issue in Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy
Submission deadline: February 28th, 2023
Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy invites submissions to the special issue: Technologies for paediatric and geriatric medicines development. This Special Issue is in conjunction with the 28th Federation of Asian Pharmaceutical Associations (FAPA) Congress, taking place November 8-12, 2022, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
In pharmaceutical development, it is imperative to consider the needs of special populations such as paediatrics and geriatrics from the perspectives of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmaceutical practice. Poor drug taste, frequent dosing and polypharmacy are the common hurdles that hinder children and older patients from taking their medicines effectively. Nano/microparticles and lipid-based formulations have been adopted in taste masking and modified drug release. Despite recent advancement, significant challenges remain in understanding patients’ needs, formulation, dosage form characterization, physicochemical changes of drugs in polypharmacy therapy and design of biorelevant in vivo evaluation methods. This Special Issue focuses on material sciences, dosage form design and characterization, formulation and processing technologies that can be applied to improve drug delivery in children and older adults. Studies related to technologies for paediatric and geriatric medicines development at in vitro, in vivo and clinical levels are welcome.
FAPA participants with the following background are welcome to submit to the Special Issue: Applied Science; Biomedical Science; Chemical Engineering; Dentistry; Electrical and Electronic Engineering; Formulation Sciences; Health Science; Manufacturing Engineering; Material Sciences; Medicine; Nanotechnology; Pharmacy; Process Engineering.
All submissions must contain original unpublished work not being considered for publication elsewhere and must follow the submission guidelines given on the journal’s homepage: https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/iddi20. Submissions will be peer-reviewed according to the standard procedures for Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy.
Papers for the special issue should be submitted using the journal’s submission system at https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/iddi20. In the system, please choose the submission type – Special Issue: FAPA 2022.
