Nanofibrous Formulation of Cyclodextrin Stabilized Lipases for Efficient Pancreatin Replacement Therapies.

Enzyme replacement therapies (ERT) have been of great help over the past 30 years in the treatment of various lysosomal storage disorders, including chronic pancreatitis and its common complication, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Research shows that difficulties in designing such drugs can be overcome by using appropriate additives and various enzyme immobilization techniques. Cyclodextrins (CDs) can be considered as a promising additive for enzyme replacement therapies, as they are known to enhance the activity of enzymes in a complex process due to their specific binding.
