Cell-penetrating peptides as a delivery system for oligonucleotides

Drug Discovery World

Oligonucleotides act on the RNA level through different molecular pathways, but there is a major drawback when using them as drugs: their poor bioavailability and cellular uptake. Over the years, a range of different CPPs have been developed, including natural translocating proteins through to newly-designed computer-prediction sequences 3.

The Important Role that Biopharmaceutics Plays in Accelerating Early-Phase Drug Development

Pharmaceutical Technology

Our chemists and formulation scientists review the properties of new drug candidates and “work their magic” to develop formulations that improve the exposure profile of the compound. How does bioavailability play a role in biopharmaceutics? Now fraction absorbed and bioavailability are often confused and used interchangeably.
