Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There are a couple of problems that should be solved to develop oral formulations of biological medicines: safety of absorption enhancers and a reduction of efficacy of the enhancers through dilution in the gastrointestinal tract. We designed enteric-coated particles containing drugs and absorption enhancers. Electrospray deposition was applied for particle preparation. When both a drug and an absorption enhancer were organic compounds with low molecular weights, absorption-enhancing functions was boosted through their co-encapsulation. This was presumably because the drug was always accompanied by the enhancer during the gastrointestinal transit. Oral absorption of insulin was enhanced when it was co-administered with oligoarginine-linked polymers in a solution. When the dosage form was substituted with enteric-coated particles, insulin absorption was considerably reduced. This probably resulted from interactions between formulated substances.
