THEME: "Current and Emerging Trends in the Field of Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery Research"
Peptides and proteins have significant potential as therapeutics. Oral delivery is preferred, most are contemporary delivered intravenously or subcutaneously due to degradation and restricted absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. The effective and potent action of the proteins/peptides makes them the drugs of option for the treatment of several diseases. Vital research issues in protein delivery include the stabilization of proteins in delivery devices and the design of appropriate target-specific protein carriers. Many attempts have been made for effective delivery of proteins/peptidal drugs through various routes of administrations for successful therapeutic effects.
