By combining a permeation enhancer and a peptidase inhibitor, we have identified SBTI and C10 as effective components that improve absorption and reduce degradation of therapeutic peptides in the small intestine. This formulation strategy provides a solution for oral delivery of peptide therapeutics.
Purpose Oral delivery of therapeutic peptides has been challenging due to multiple physiological factors and physicochemical properties of peptides. We report a systematic approach to identify formulation compositions combining a permeation enhancer and a peptidase inhibitor that minimize proteolytic degradation and increase absorption of a peptide across the small intestine. Methods An acylated glucagon-like peptide-1/glucagon co-agonist peptide (4.5 kDa) was selected as a model peptide. Proteolytic stability of the peptide was investigated in rat and pig SW. Effective PEs and multiple component formulations were identified in rats. Relative bioavailability of the peptide was determined in minipigs via intraduodenal administration (ID) of enteric capsules. Results The peptide degraded rapidly in the rat and pig SIF. Citric acid, SBTI, and SBTCI inhibited the enzymatic degradation. The peptide self-associated into trimers in solution, however, addition of PEs monomerized the peptide. C10 was the most effective PE among tested PEs (DPC, LC, rhamnolipid, C12-maltosides, and SNAC) to improve intestinal absorption of the peptide in the rat IJ-closed loop model. A combination of C10 and SBTI or SBTCI increased the peptide exposure 5-tenfold compared to the exposure with the PE alone in the rat IJ-cannulated model, and achieved 1.06 +/- 0.76% bioavailability in minipigs relative to subcutaneous via ID administration using enteric capsules. Conclusion We identified SBTI and C10 as an effective peptidase inhibitor and PE for intestinal absorption of the peptide. The combination of SBTI and C10 addressed the peptide physiochemical properties and provides a formulation strategy to achieve intestinal delivery of this peptide.
