Pharmaceutical
Update on Silica-based Mesoporous Materials for Biomedical
Applications
Author
Luigi Pasqua
This book provides an insightful understanding of the mesoporous silica structure and its special properties. The details of
synthesis and modification strategies are discussed by reviewing the open literature. The discussion concerning the potential of
mesoporous silica in modern biomedical applications will be related to a critical analysis in the field of material science.
This book will help the reader rapidly develop the necessary tools to follow the design of the different mesoporous silica-based
devices presented in the various studies. The structure of the different devices is examined in detail and the relationship between
the structure and the expected activity are discussed. It will also assist in the ability to design new therapeutic devices in a field
where the applications seem to be without limits.

Update on Undertaking Extractable and Leachable Testing
The assessment of all materials - and especially elastomeric and plastic components – for the presence of leachable and
extractable components, forms an important part of the submission for approval of a new drug system or medical device.
This Update gives a detailed, state-of-the-art review of the selection of techniques, available to the analyst, to perform a
controlled extraction study for leachables and extractables, with an overview of the factors to consider when selecting the
extraction technique. This book will be of interest to Chemists and R&D managers.
