3 1. Protein & Peptides
PROTEINS: Proteins are the large organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together by peptide bonds.
Protein > 50 amino acids PEPTIDES: These are short polymers formed from the linking,
in a defined order of amino acids.
peptide < 50 amino acids

Why protein and peptide are used;
The protein and peptides are very important in biological cells.
Lack of proteins and peptides causes diseases like Diabetes mellitus.
Diabetes mellitus is caused due to the lack of protein called INSULIN.
Now a days R-DNA technology and hybridoma techniques also used in protein and peptide based pharmaceuticals.

ADVANTAGES: Antibiotics can be administered.
14 Continue…
INTRAMUSCULAR ROUTE:
Gamma globulins given by this route are proved to have long-term protection from hepatic infection. some drugs given by this route include long acting insulin, GH.
DISADVANTAGES:
Not used for all proteins and peptide drugs because of metabolism of drugs at the site of injection.
15 Continue…
SUBCUTANEOUS ROUTE;
Controlled release is obtained from implantable polymeric devices.
These are prepared from crossed linked polymers which are biocompatible and biodegradable e.g. Poly lactic acid.
Release of Insulin, bovine serum albumin, LH was prolonged by this route.
16 4. PARENTERAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
Polymer based drug delivery system. Liposome based drug delivery system. Hydro gel based drug delivery system. Emulsion based drug delivery system.
PUMPS: Implantable infusion pumps Mechanical pumps

25 Polymer based drug delivery system
polymers are used as carriers in this drug Pug delivery system.
CHARACTERS OF POLYMERS It should be biodegradable. It should be bio compatible. And non-toxic.
Two types of polymers are used widely natural polymers synthetic polymers
26
Natural polymers: Collagen , hemoglobin and gelatin. Synthetic polymers: mainly poly esters like PLA and PGA are
used widely. Diffusion of drug out of the polymer

27Liposome based drug delivery
Spherical vesicles with a phospholipid bilayer Liposome's are microscopic vesicles composed of one or more
aqueous compartments.
Liposome’s in Proteins delivery : Example: Lecithin used in controlled drug release.
Liposome’s in peptide drug delivery: Bleomycin : A peptide with anti tumor activity, reduces normal
tissue toxicity. Negatively charged liposome's produces a prolonged
hypoglycemic effect in diabetic drugs, which are injected by subcutaneous injection.
28ADVANTAGES OF LIPOSOME DRUG DELIVERY Soluble in both organic and aqueous media. Liposome’s are important for targeting drugs directly to the
liver, and brain. Lipsosomes easily crosses blood brain barrier.
EXAMPLE: Dopamine converted to L-Dopa. Used as a vehicles for vaccines.
DISADVANTAGES Less stable , easily susceptible to oxidation. Hence liposome’s are replaced by noisome an alternate for
liposome’s.
29
Hydrogel based dds
Hydrogels are three dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers that are insoluble- Hydro gels are polymers which have the ability to swell in
water . Biodegradable hydro gels are used, due to its biocompatibility .
Examples: Hydroxymethylacrylate, used to minimize mechanical irritation to surrounding tissue.
30EMULSION BASED DELIVERY Emulsions can be used for parenteral drug delivery of proteins
and peptides used to prolong the release of drug. e.g. subcutaneous administration of muramyl dipeptide in a
w/o emulsion. It is used to potentiate immune system.
CELLULAR CARRIERS Protein and peptides can be incorporated in erythrocytes to
achieve the prolong release or targeting. Resealed erythrocytes as delivery system for c-reactive protein,
and mainly used to target liver and spleen.
31
PUMPS
Types of pumps:
1. IMPLANTABLE PUMPS Drug is implanted subcutaneously, and delivered by I.V
infusion. Pumps are filled with drug through a septum with a needle. Pumps deliver drugs to central vein for 7-14 days a constant rate.
2. MECHANICAL PUMPS Easily manipulated to deliver protein and peptide drugs.
Example: insulin has been successfully delivered by portable syringe.
32NON PARENTERAL ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION
Parenteral route is not properly achievable, hence other routes are preferred. Oral route. Rectal route. Nasal route. Pulmonary route. Buccal route. Transdermal route. Ocular route
33 ORAL ROUTE Encapsulated peptides or proteins in amino acids with
microsphere of approximately 10 micron in diameter , used for oral delivery.
Example: Insulin and heparin. Orally administered insulin produces hypoglycemic effect .
DISADVANTAGES:
Acid catalyzed degradation in stomach. Proteolysis in GIT.
34
Transdermal route of administration
This is topical medication. Drug is absorbed through the skin.
EX: Insulin, vasopressin
ADVANTAGES: Controlled administration of drug is possible. Improved patient compliance. Drugs with short half lives can be administered.
DISADVANTAGES: High intra and inter patient variability. Low permeation because of high molecular weight. Hydrophilicity and lipophilicity of stratum corneum.
35
Number of approaches are available for effective protein and peptide drug delivery. They are IONTOPHORESIS PHONOPHORESIS PENETRATION ENHANCERS PRODRUG Iontophoresis: Used for local and systemic delivery of proteins and
peptides. In this an electric current is used to drive the molecules across the skin surface.
Example: Transport of insulin using iontophoresis. Phonophoresis: The absorption is enhanced by thermal effect of
ultrasonic waves and subsequent alteration of physical structure of skin surface.
36
Pulmonary route of administration
Lungs are attractive site for systemic delivery of proteins and peptides because of their enormous surface area(70 sq.m)
Alveoli and lungs are the absorption sites. Drugs are absorbed through lungs by simple diffusion, carrier
mediated transport
37ADVANTAGES: Decrease in dose requirement. Fast absorption Increased patient compliance
DISADVANTAGES: Inflammation may be observed in lungs. Degree of bioavailability was less due to hydrolytic enzymes
present in lungs
38
Rectal route of administration
Rectum is highly vascularised body cavity. Rectal mucosa is devoid of villi. Drugs are in form of suppositories, gel, dry powders.
EX: Insulin, calcitonin
ADVANTAGES: Reduced proteolytic degradation. Improved systemic bioavailability with co-administration of
absorption enhancers.
EX: surfactants Large dose can be administered.
39
OCULAR ROUTE In this route enkephalins, thyrotrophin releasing
hormones ,luteinizing hormones ,glucagon and insulin are administered
BUCCAL ROUTE Mucoadhesive dosage forms can be used for buccal route. Adsorption enhancers like salicylates or a surfactant is used for
protein and peptide delivery through buccal route.
Example: Oxytocin , vasopressin , insulin, are reported to be absorbed
through buccal mucosa . And adhesive gel, patches , tablets are used.
Insulin is absorbed through buccal mucosa in the presence of sodium glycolate.
40
The drugs are absorbed through oral mucosa mainly through the non-keratinized regions.
ADVANTAGES: It can be attached or removed without any discomfort and pain. Well acceptability by patients. Drugs are absorbed rapidly.
DISADVANTAGES: Administration time is limited. Drug loss by accidental swallowing.
41
Nasal route of administration
The nasal route has been employed for producing local action on the mucosa which is more permeable compared to oral mucosa.
Nasal absorption is through passive diffusion.
EX: Insulin, human growth hormone.
ADVANTAGES: Rapid onset of action First pass metabolism can be avoided Better drug absorption
DISADVANTAGES: Long-term usage causes toxicity. Size of proteins and peptide drugs reduces systemic
bioavailability.
