Features: Surfactant phenomena are widely present in living systems, and the study of surface phenomena holds significant theoretical and practical value. This book, for the first time, introduces the liquid membrane hypothesis of drug action in the form of a monograph, reflecting its scientific rigor, systematic approach, and cutting-edge nature, making it highly valuable for reference and inspiration. The book takes a unique approach by exploring the mechanism of drug action through the lens of drug surface activity, offering a fresh perspective for existing research in pharmacology and drug action mechanisms. Additionally, the book effectively demonstrates the interdisciplinary nature of the field, covering fundamental knowledge in biochemistry, physical chemistry, pharmacology, and pharmaceutical sciences while integrating them seamlessly. Reading this book allows readers not only to gain relevant scientific knowledge but also to appreciate the thought processes of scientific research, from broad fields to modern experimental methods. This book serves as a valuable reference for medical and pharmaceutical college teachers, researchers in research institutions, and professionals in pharmaceutical companies. It is also suitable for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students in medicine and pharmacy for reference during thesis discussions. Of course, it can also be used as a textbook for graduate courses in medical and pharmaceutical institutions.
