Editorial: The Interplay of Pharmaceutical Analysis, Delivery Systems and Bio-Evaluation in Pharmaceutical Product Development

Abstract

The development of new products for pharmacology-based therapies relies to a great extent on three key interrelated areas, namely: pharmaceutical analysis and characterization of the active principle; use of a suitable dosage form for administration and delivery of the active component; and bio-evaluation of the active prior to clinical trials.  These areas are also the focus of much of research work in pharmaceutical sciences.
