[The development of cell-penetrating peptides in drug delivery system]
Abstract:
Cell membrane serves as the natural barrier. Cell-penetrating peptides(CPPs) have been a powerful vehicle for the intracellular delivery of a large variety of cargoes cross the cell membrane. The efficiency of intracellular delivery of drugs, proteins, peptides and nucleic acid, as well as various nanoparticulate pharmaceutical carriers(e.g., liposomes, polymeric micelles and inorganic nanoparticles) has been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. This review focuses on the CPPs-based strategy for intracellular delivery of small molecule drugs, proteins, peptides, nucleic acid and CPP-modified nanocarriers.

Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route
There are three primary parenteral routes: intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (SC). The IV route introduces the drug directly into the bloodstream, ensuring immediate action. The IM route...
