  • GASTROINTESTINAL-PROTECTIVE FORMULATIONS FOR ORAL DELIVERY OF PROTEINS AND PEPTIDES
    Publication number: 20190388395
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are processes for formulating a protein or a peptide for oral delivery, the process comprising the steps of: obtaining a powder containing the protein or peptide; obtaining an amount of an enteric polymer, wherein the enteric polymer is neutralized so that it is soluble in water; optionally obtaining at least one excipient; mixing the protein or peptide, the neutralized enteric polymer, and optionally the at least one excipient to obtain a First Dispersion; granulating the First Dispersion on a fluidized bed to obtain a Second Dispersion; whereby the protein or peptide in the Second Dispersion undergoes less than 50% proteolysis under gastric conditions.
