Physicochemical, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses of amphiphilic cyclodextrin-based nanoparticles designed to enhance intestinal delivery of insulin.

Due to excellent efficacy, low toxicity, and well-defined selectivity, development of new injectable peptides is increasing. However, the translation of these drugs into products for effective oral delivery has been restricted due to poor oral bioavailability. Nanoparticle (NP) formulations have potential to overcome the barriers to oral peptide delivery through protecting the payload and increasing bioavailability.
