Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Stability Enhancement and GI Retention

332
Improving a drug's stability in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is paramount for enhancing its bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness. Various strategies are employed to protect the drug from the harsh gastric milieu and to ensure its release and absorption at the desired site within the GI tract.Polymer coatings are one such method used to shield drugs from the stomach's acidic environment. By preventing premature drug release, these coatings improve the bioavailability of unstable...

Site-Targeted Drug Delivery Systems: Polymeric Carriers

160
Polymeric carriers enhance targeted drug delivery by increasing efficacy while minimizing off-target effects. These carriers comprise a biodegradable polymeric backbone integrated with functional elements that enable targeting, improve physicochemical properties, and regulate drug release.Targeting MechanismsThe targeting ability of polymeric carriers is mediated by a homing device, which is a molecular recognition component designed to selectively bind to specific tissues or cells. Monoclonal...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biotechnology
  • Supramolecular Chemistry

Background:

  • Peptides are versatile building blocks for designer materials.
  • Current peptide materials often form rigid structures, limiting adaptability.
  • Mimicking biological systems' context-adaptive properties is a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop minimalistic tripeptide sequences for dynamic, soluble supramolecular ensembles.
  • To investigate the self-assembly and material formation properties of these peptide ensembles.
  • To explore the potential of these peptide materials for biomacromolecule encapsulation and stabilization.

Main Methods:

  • Design and synthesis of minimalistic tripeptide sequences.
  • Characterization of supramolecular dispersions and their dynamic behavior.
  • Analysis of drying-induced liquid-liquid phase separation and solidification.
  • Assessment of encapsulation efficiency and payload stability (proteins, small molecules).

Main Results:

  • Tripeptide sequences form highly soluble dynamic ensembles via multivalent side-chain interactions.
  • Drying induces sequential liquid-liquid phase separation and solidification into porous peptide microparticle films.
  • These microparticles can be rapidly redispersed in water.
  • Efficient encapsulation and preservation of protein stability were achieved during drying and redispersion.

Conclusions:

  • Minimalistic tripeptides offer a route to dynamic, adaptable peptide-based materials.
  • The observed desiccation-protection mechanism mimics natural strategies.
  • These peptide microparticles show significant promise for biomacromolecule stabilization, emulsification, and storage.
