Multifunctional matrices offer a promising solution for oral peptide drug delivery by overcoming biological barriers. These advanced formulations enhance peptide bioavailability and protection, paving the way for viable commercial products.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmaceutical Technology
  • Drug Delivery Systems

Background:

  • Oral peptide drug administration faces significant bioavailability challenges due to mucus, enzymatic, and membrane barriers.
  • Developing effective oral peptide delivery systems is crucial for therapeutic advancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of multifunctional matrices for enhancing oral peptide drug delivery.
  • To investigate how polymer-based matrices can overcome barriers and improve peptide bioavailability.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing polymers with mucoadhesive, permeation-enhancing, and enzyme-inhibiting properties in matrix formulations.
  • Chemically modifying polymers (e.g., polyacrylates, cellulose derivatives, chitosan) by adding thiol moieties or enzyme inhibitors.
  • Evaluating the efficacy of these multifunctional matrices in oral peptide delivery systems.
