Dynamic omnidirectional adhesive microneedle system for oral macromolecular drug delivery

Wei Chen et al.

Summary: Oral drug administration remains the preferred route for patients and health care providers, but delivering macromolecules through this route is challenging. In this study, a delivery system combining physical and nonphysical drug delivery enhancement modes was developed and tested in a large animal model. Inspired by a thorny-headed intestinal worm, a dynamic omnidirectional mucoadhesive microneedle system was created, which showed prolonged fixation on the gastric mucosa. The incorporation of sodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino] caprylate along with semaglutide demonstrated enhanced absorption in swine, and a targeted capsule system was developed to deploy intact microneedle-containing systems, enabling drug delivery in a privileged region of the gastrointestinal tract.

Yufen Xiao et al.

Summary: An intelligent oral insulin platform has been developed using glucose-responsive polymeric nanoparticles to protect insulin integrity, overcome intestinal barriers, and release insulin based on blood glucose levels. This platform provides extended therapeutic effects and may reduce insulin administration frequency.

Metabolic and immunomodulatory control of type 1 diabetes via orally delivered bile-acid-polymer nanocarriers of insulin or rapamycin

Jung Seok Lee et al.

Summary: Orally delivered nanocarriers made from polymeric bile acid, carrying insulin or rapamycin, demonstrate metabolic and immunomodulatory functions in restoring blood-glucose levels, delaying the onset of diabetes, reversing inflammation, restoring metabolic functions, and extending animal survival. These ingestible bile-acid-polymer nanocarriers may offer translational opportunities for the prevention and treatment of type 1 diabetes.

Insulin- and cholic acid-loaded zein/casein-dextran nanoparticles enhance the oral absorption and hypoglycemic effect of insulin

Xiaoyan Bao et al.

Summary: Insulin- and cholic acid-loaded zein nanoparticles with dextran surfaces were fabricated to enhance the oral absorptions of insulin in the intestine and in the liver. The dextran significantly increased the disperse stability of the nanoparticles, protected the loaded insulin from hydrolysis in digestive juices, and increased the permeability of the insulin.

Charge-switchable zwitterionic polycarboxybetaine particle as an intestinal permeation enhancer for efficient oral insulin delivery

Yan Li et al.

Summary: The study utilized charge-switchable zwitterionic polycarboxybetaine (PCB) to load insulin and form PCB/insulin (PCB/INS) particles, which showed an opening effect on intestinal epithelium, increasing the intestinal permeability of insulin and enhancing the antidiabetic efficacy after oral administration.

In vivo oral insulin delivery via covalent organic frameworks

Farah Benyettou et al.

Summary: This study introduces a novel approach using nCOF nanoparticles for oral insulin delivery, which demonstrated protection of insulin and glucose-responsive release in vitro, as well as hyperglycemia-induced release in vivo without toxic effects in diabetic rats. These findings suggest that nCOF-based oral insulin delivery systems could potentially replace traditional subcutaneous injections for insulin therapy.
