  • To discuss VIP-based drug design and novel delivery systems for therapeutic applications.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of VIP's physiological roles.
  • Analysis of current research in VIP-based drug development and delivery.

Main Results:

  • VIP influences growth regulation, reproduction, bronchodilation, vasodilation, immune interactions, and neurotrophism.
  • VIP-based strategies show promise in tumor diagnosis/treatment, impotence, and neuroprotection.

Conclusions:

  • VIP is a versatile molecule with significant therapeutic potential.
  • Innovative drug design and delivery methods are crucial for harnessing VIP's benefits.
