Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main causes of illness and death globally. Hypertension is the leading risk factor that exacerbates the occurrence, seriousness, and advancement of different types of cardiovascular diseases, which include arteriosclerosis and thrombosis. The association between hypertension, arteriosclerosis and other cardiovascular disorders increases the risk of undesirable outcomes in different patient groups. There are various options available for treating CVD, including synthetic drugs and herbal medicines. However, numerous compounds and extracts have not yet undergone thorough scientific investigation in terms of drug delivery, drug dosage forms, and pharmaceutical formulations. As a result, there is a requirement for systematic endeavors to establish the effectiveness and safety of these formulations.
In this Special Issue, we invite researchers to submit studies on drug dosage form design, targeted drug delivery, pharmacokinetics, and biopharmaceutics focusing on advancements in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. We gladly accept both original research and review articles. Potential submission topics may include, but are not restricted to:
- Dosage forms and drug delivery systems;
- Characterization of biopharmaceutical formulations;
- Standardization and evaluation of herbal drug formulations;
- Quality control in drug development;
- Excipient–drug interactions;
- Pharmacokinetics studies in drug discovery.
