It has been found that certain drugs such as insulin and heparin canbe encapsulated in proteinoid spheres at stomach pH's (1--3). These spheres also dissemble atintestinal pH's (6--7) releasing the drug for absorption. Using this technique low molecularweight heparin and human growth hormone have been orally delivered successfully to severalanimal species. Future work has been proposed to study the interaction and binding of thespecific drugs with synthesized oligopeptides.展开更多

In addition, the treatment of systemic diseases may aggravate oral focal infections, affect the life quality of patients, interfere with the treatment of systemic diseases, and even cause systemic infection in serious cases. Treatment strategies for systemic diseases may induce or aggravate oral local lesion infections. In specific, administration of oral anti-epileptic drugs and immunosuppressive drugs may induce gingivitis, radiotherapy or chemotherapy for malignant tumors may cause oral mucositis, long-term use of bisphosphonates for inhibition of tumor bone metastasis or prevention of osteoporosis may cause osteonecrosis of the jaw, and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation that may cause oral rejection reactions.展开更多

Depending on high safety, good compliance and many other undeniable advantages, attempts have been undertaken to complete an intravenous-to-oral conversion of targeted drug delivery. However, oral delivery of particulates to systemic circulation is highly challenging due to the biochemical aggressivity and immune exclusion in the gut that restrain absorption and access to the bloodstream. Little is known about the feasibility of targeted drug delivery via oral administration(oral targeting) to a remote site beyond the gastrointestinal tract. To this end, this review proactively contributes to a special dissection on the feasibility of oral targeting. We discussed the theoretical basis of oral targeting, the biological barriers of absorption, the in vivo fate and transport mechanisms of drug vehicles, and the effect of structural evolution of vehicles on oral targeting as well. At last, a feasibility analysis on oral targeting was performed based on the integration of currently available information. The innate defense of intestinal epithelium does not allow influx of more particulates into the peripheral blood through enterocytes. Therefore, limited evidence and lacking exact quantification of systemically exposed particles fail to support much success with oral targeting. Nevertheless, the lymphatic pathway may serve as a potentially alternative portal of peroral particles into the remote target sites via M-cell uptake.展开更多

In this study, we constructed a “cluster bomb” oral drug delivery system (DOX@PFeL@L100) with core-shell structure to overcome the complex absorption barriers. The inner core termed as “bomb” that contains a lot of ultra-small diameter Fe_(3)O_(4) nanoparticles (DOX@PFeL NPs) loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and modified with l-valine, which can efficiently penetrate the epithelial cells via PePT1 receptor mediated endocytosis. The outer shell of this “cluster bomb” is a layer of pH-sensitive polymer (Eudragit®L100) that can be served as a pH-responsive switch and effectively control the “bomb” release in the intestinal microenvironment to improve the antitumor efficiency by the Fenton like reaction of DOX and Fe^(2+)/Fe^(3+). This study demonstrates that the “cluster comb” oral drug delivery system can sequentially overcome the multiple biological barriers, providing a safe and effective approach for tumor therapy.展开更多
