Abstract
The peptide is a small unit of protein that exhibits a diverse range of therapeutic applications, including but not limited to respiratory, inflammatory, oncologic, metabolic and neurological disorders. Peptides also play a significant role in signal transduction in cells. This chapter focuses on the delivery of peptides through the utilization of various carrier molecules, including liposomes, micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, and inorganic materials. These carriers facilitate targeted delivery and site-specific delivery of peptides. Different nanocarriers and therapeutic drug molecules also help with the delivery of peptides. Application to various diseases and different routes of delivery are described in this manuscript, along with current limitations and future prospects.
