Abstract
Because of low immunogenicity, ease of modification, and inherent biosafety, peptides have been well recognized as vehicles to deliver therapeutic agents to targeted regions with improved pharmacokinetic characteristics. Enzyme-responsive self-assembled peptides (ERSAPs) show superiority over their naive forms due to their enhanced targeting efficacy and long-retention property. In this review, we have summarized recent advances in the therapeutic application of ERSAPs, mainly focusing on their self-therapeutic properties and potential as vehicles to deliver different drugs.
期刊介绍:
Current Drug Delivery aims to publish peer-reviewed articles, research articles, short and in-depth reviews, and drug clinical trials studies in the rapidly developing field of drug delivery. Modern drug research aims to build delivery properties of a drug at the design phase, however in many cases this idea cannot be met and the development of delivery systems becomes as important as the development of the drugs themselves.
The journal aims to cover the latest outstanding developments in drug and vaccine delivery employing physical, physico-chemical and chemical methods. The drugs include a wide range of bioactive compounds from simple pharmaceuticals to peptides, proteins, nucleotides, nucleosides and sugars. The journal will also report progress in the fields of transport routes and mechanisms including efflux proteins and multi-drug resistance.
The journal is essential for all pharmaceutical scientists involved in drug design, development and delivery.
