Oral Peptide Delivery: Technology Landscape & Current Status

چکیده

The potential of therapeutic peptides to address a growing range of diseases has gained increasing recognition in recent years. Due mainly to their poor stability and short plasma half-life, peptides are usually administered by injection, often several times daily. Injectable sustained-release formulations of peptides demonstrated the power of drug delivery technologies to enhance patient adherence and convenience, and increase safety and efficacy. However, the pain and invasiveness of injections, as well as disposal issues associated with used needles and relatively complicated administration protocols mean that alternative routes of delivery are highly desirable for peptides.
