Abstract
Oral administration of peptide therapeutics faces challenges because of the distinct environment of the gastrointestinal tract. An oral formulation of semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2019 as a peptide therapy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Oral semaglutide uses sodium N-(8-[2-hydroxybenzoyl] amino) caprylate (SNAC) technology to enhance the absorption of semaglutide in the stomach and protect it from degradation by gastric enzymes. This article presents a summary of studies investigating SNAC technology as an absorption enhancer for a number of molecules and, in particular, explores how SNAC, once coformulated with oral semaglutide, facilitates increased absorption and bioavailability. Practical advice and dispensing information for pharmacists is also provided.
