Peptides and proteins have been investigated as promising therapeutic agents over the past
decade. These macromolecules are conventionally administered by the parenteral route …

Transdermal delivery of peptides and proteins avoids the disadvantages associated with the
invasive parenteral route of administration and other alternative routes such as the …

Revolutionary advances in biotechnology have given rise to a large number of drugs that
are of peptide and protein origin. In order to reap the ultimate therapeutic benefits of these …

Peptides and proteins are gaining increasing importance as therapeutic agents. Oral
delivery of these molecules is not feasible due to gastrointestinal degradation. Parenteral …

Advances in molecular biology have given us a wide range of protein and peptide-based
drugs that are unsuitable for oral delivery because of their high degree of first-pass …

Recently, a large number of new and potentially potent peptide and protein drugs have been
developed. Their systemic delivery is difficult because they are rapidly cleared from the …

Transdermal delivery has been at the forefront of research addressing the development of
non-invasive methods for the systemic administration of peptide and protein therapeutics …

Despite the increased availability of therapeutic proteins and peptides, delivery remains
almost entirely via hypodermic needle. Transdermal delivery offers an attractive noninvasive …

Skin is the largest external organ in the human body but its use for therapeutic purposes has
been minimal. Stratum corneum residing on the uppermost layer of the skin provides a tough …

Transdermal delivery of drugs, a compelling route of systemic drug delivery, provides
painless, reliable, targeted, efficient and cost effective therapeutic regimen for patients …
