摘要:
Improved proteinoid carriers and methods for their preparation and use as oral delivery systems for pharmaceutical agents are described. The proteinoid carriers are soluble within selected pH ranges within the gastrointestinal tract and display enhanced stability towards at least one of photolysis or decomposition over time. The proteinoid carriers are prepared from proteinoids having between 2 and 20 amino acids and having a molecular weight of between about 250 and 2400 daltons.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an oral drug delivery system, and in particular to modified amino acids and modified amino acid derivatives for use as a delivery system of sensitive agents such as bioactive peptides. The modified amino acids and derivatives can form non-covalent mixtures with active biological agents and in an alternate embodiment can releasably carry active agents. Modified amino acids can also form drug containing microspheres. These mixtures are suitable for oral administration of biologically active agents to animals. Methods for the preparation of such amino acids are also disclosed.
摘要:
Methods for transporting a biologically active agent across a cellular membrane or a lipid bilayer. A first method includes the steps of: a) providing a biologically active agent which can exist in a native conformational state, a denatured conformational state, and an intermediate conformational state which is reversible to the native state and which is conformationally between the native and denatured states; b) exposing the biologically active agent to a complexing perturbant to reversibly transform the biologically active agent to the intermediate state and to form a transportable supramolecular complex; and c) exposing the membrane or bilayer to the supramolecular complex, to transport the biologically active agent across the membrane or bilayer. The perturbant has a molecular weight between about 150 and about 600 daltons, and contains at least one hydrophilic moiety and at least one hydrophobic moiety. The supramolecular complex comprises the perturbant non-covalently bound or complexed with the biologically active agent. In the present invention, the biologically active agent does not form a microsphere after interacting with the perturbant. A method for preparing an orally administrable biologically active agent comprising steps (a) and (b) above is also provided as are oral delivery compositions. Additionally, mimetics and methods for preparing mimetics are contemplated.

Modified hydrolyzed vegetable protein microspheres and methods for their preparation and use as oral delivery systems for pharmaceutical agents are described.
摘要:
Modified amino acids and methods for their preparation and use as oral delivery systems for pharmaceutical agents are described. The modified amino acids are preparable by reacting single amino acids or mixtures of two or more kinds of amino acids with an amino modifying agent such as benzene sulfonyl chloride, benzoyl chloride, and hippuryl chloride. The modified amino acids may form encapsulating microspheres in the presence of the active agent under sphere-forming conditions. Alternatively, the modified amino acids may be used as a carrier by simply mixing the amino acids with the active agent. The preferred acylated amino acid carrier is salicyloyl-phenylalanine. The modified amino acids are particularly useful in delivering biologically active agents, e.g., desferrioxamine, insulin or cromolyn sodium, or other agents which are sensitive to the denaturing conditions of the gastrointestinal tract.

Modified hydrolyzed vegetable protein microspheres and methods for their preparation and use as oral delivery systems for pharmaceutical agents are described. Figure 1 illustrates levels of glucose detected in rat serum taken from rats orally administered microsphere encapsulated insulin or raw (unencapsulated) insulin as described in example 4. Figure 2 illustrates rat serum calcium levels after oral administration of calcitonin and calcitonin encapsulated in the vegetable protein microsphere of the present invention as described in example 5. Figure 3 illustrates an HPLC trace of the hydrolyzed vegetable protein before modification. Figure 4 illustrates the change in the hydrolyzed vegetable protein after modification with benzene sulfonyl chloride in an HPLC trace.
