Peptides & Proteins Delivery System Development
InquiryAt CD Formulation, we provide a wide array of services customized to cater to the distinct formulation requirements of peptide and protein drugs, including injectable formulations, inhalable systems, nanoparticle formulations, and more. Through our innovative solutions, we strive to maximize the therapeutic potential of peptides and proteins, ensuring optimal delivery and efficacy.
Challenges of Peptide & Protein Delivery
- Peptides and proteins are fragile molecules that can be easily degraded by enzymes in the body before reaching their target site.
- These large hydrophilic molecules generally have poor absorption across biological barriers like the intestinal epithelium or blood-brain barrier when administered orally or systemically.
- Repeated administration can trigger an immune response to these large foreign molecules.
- Short-acting profiles often require frequent and higher dosing which impacts patient compliance and increases costs.
- Specialized routes like injection, inhalation or implant devices are sometimes required but impact usability.
What Can We Do for Peptide & Protein Formulation Development?
We can develop injectable peptide and protein formulations, including solutions, suspensions, and emulsions, ensuring stability, compatibility, and controlled release for efficient delivery.
Our team can design oral peptide and protein formulations, such as tablets, capsules, or nanoparticles, to enhance bioavailability, protect against enzymatic degradation, and improve patient compliance.
We excel at formulating peptides and proteins for topical and transdermal delivery, optimizing formulation properties to ensure effective penetration and targeted delivery to the desired site.
We have expertise in developing inhalable peptide and protein formulations, such as dry powder inhalers or nebulizers, for targeted delivery to the respiratory system.
Our capabilities extend to the development of implantable peptide and protein formulations, enabling sustained release and localized delivery for long-term therapeutic effects.
We can formulate peptides and proteins into liposomes or nanoparticles, enhancing stability, bioavailability, and targeted delivery to specific tissues or cells.
We have the expertise to develop combination formulations, incorporating peptides or proteins with other active ingredients or therapeutic modalities for synergistic effects and improved therapeutic outcomes.
