Abstract
Supramolecular mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) offer distinct properties as opposed to micron-sized silica particles in terms of their crystal structure, morphology–porosity, toxicity, biological effects, and others. MSN biocompatibility has touched the pharmaceutical realm to exploit its robust synthesis pathway for delivery of various therapeutic molecules including macromolecules and small-molecule drugs. This article provides a brief review of MSN history followed by special emphasis on the influencing factors affecting morphology–porosity characteristics. Its applications as the next-generation drug delivery system (NGDDS) particularly in a controlled release dosage form via an oral drug delivery system are also presented and shall be highlighted as oral delivery is the most convenient route of drug administration with the economical cost of development through to scale-up for clinical trials and market launch.

Abstract
The present study aims to develop carboplatin injectable microspheres using spray-drying technology. The optimized powdered microspheres (MS-19-ST2) were morphologically spherical, with a 1.795 μm particle size and good micromeritic properties. Under normal temperature conditions, the MS-19-ST2 formulation exhibited a sustained release behaviour following first-order drug release kinetics with no compatibility issues with aluminium syringes. Furthermore, MS-19-ST2 formulation outperformed its commercial counterpart in terms of in vivo pharmaco-kinetics and -dynamics (MRT-13.9 ± 0.9 h, T1/2-8.2 ± 0.3 h, tumour inhibition-74.5%). Additionally, the MS-19-ST2 formulation was much safer to use than its commercial counterpart, as observed from the results of ex vivo (haemolytic, MTT, and cell apoptosis assays) and in vivo (14-day acute and 28-day sub-acute) toxicity studies. The above results confirm the MS-19-ST2 formulation as a good candidate to commercialize carboplatin in a powdered microsphere form (stable for 24 h after reconstitution) with improved pharmacokinetics, therapeutic, and toxicity profile.

Abstract
Functional modified cellulose microsphere (CMs) materials exhibit great application potential in drug various fields. Here, we designed pH-responsive carboxylated cellulose microspheres (CCMs) by the citric/hydrochloric acid hydrolysis method to enhance oral bioavailability of insulin by a green route. The CMs were high purity cellulose that dissolved and regenerated from a green solvent by the green sol-gel method. The prepared microspheres were characterized by spectroscopic techniques, such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XPS), etc. The spherical porous structure and carboxylation of cellulose were confirmed by FESEM and FT-IR, respectively. Insulin was loaded into the CCMs by electrostatic interactions, and the insulin release was controlled through ionization of carboxyl groups and proton balance. In vitro insulin release profiles demonstrated the suppression of insulin release in artificial gastric fluid (AGF), while a significant increase at artificial intestinal fluid (AIF) was observed. The insulin release profile was fitted in Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetic model, and insulin release was governed by the Fickian diffusion mechanism. The stability of the secondary structure of insulin was studied by dichroism circular. Excellent biocompatibility and no cytotoxicity of designed CCMs cast them as a potential oral insulin carrier.

Abstract
The present investigation was aimed to synthesize, optimize, and characterize lipid/drug conjugate nanoparticles for delivering 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) to treat brain cancer. The Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the formulation, evaluate the particle size, entrapment efficiency, morphology, in vitro drug release study, and stability profiles. The in vitro performance was executed using cell line studies. The in vivo performance was carried out for pharmacokinetic studies, sterility test, biodistribution studies, and distribution lipid-drug conjugated (LDC) nanoparticles in the brain. Particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, and morphology of the optimized formulation demonstrated desirable results. In vitro release pattern showed initial fast release, followed by sustained release up to 48 h. Cytotoxic effects of blank stearic acid nanoparticles, LDC nanoparticles, and 5-FU solution on human glioma cell lines U373 MG cell showed more cytotoxicity by LDC-NPs compared to others. The values reported for LDC (AUC = 19.37 ± 0.09 µg/mL h and VD 2.4 ± 0.24 mL) and pure drug (AUC = 8.37 ± 0.04 µg/mL h and VD = 5.24 ± 0.29 mL) indicate higher concentrations of LDC in systemic circulation, while pure 5-FU was found to be largely available in tissue rather than blood circulation. The t1/2 for LDC represents an approximate rise by ninefold, while MRT (12.10 ± 0.44 h) denotes 12-fold rise than pure 5-FU indicating the prolonged circulation of LDC. Free 5-FU concentration in the brain was maximum (5.24 ± 0.01 μg/g) after 3 h, while for the optimized formulation of LDC it was twofold greater estimated as 11.52 ± 0.32 μg/g. In conclusion, the efficiency of 5-FU to treat the brain is increased when it is formulated with LDC nanoparticles.

Abstract
The advancement of the oral route for macromolecules has gained a lot of attention due to its noninvasive nature, safe and challenging in active research but with limited success. Oral administration poses challenges due to poor solubility, short half-life, quick elimination and the physical, chemical and biological barriers of the gastrointestinal tract. Approaches of past for improving oral absorption, such as enhancers, mucoadhesive delivery and enzyme inhibitors have been taken over by novel approaches like advanced liposomes, self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system, nanoparticles and targeted delivery. Eudratech™ Pep, Peptelligence, Rani Pill and Pharm Film are the emerging technologies for delivering oral proteins and peptide. Calcitonin, semaglutide and octreotide are the peptides available in the market for oral delivery as outcomes of these technologies.

Abstract
In recent years, peptide/protein drugs have attracted considerable attention owing to their superior targeting and therapeutic effect and fewer side effects compared with chemical drugs. Oral administration modality with enhanced patient compliance is increasingly being recognized as an ideal route for peptide/protein delivery. However, the limited permeation efficiency and low oral bioavailability of peptide/protein drugs significantly hinder therapeutic advances. To address these problems, various nano and microscale delivery platforms have been developed, which offer significant advantages in oral peptide/protein delivery. In this review, we briefly introduce the transport mechanisms of oral peptide/protein delivery and the primary barriers to this delivery process. We also highlight the recent advances in various nano and microscale delivery platforms designed for oral peptide/protein delivery. We then summarize the existing strategies used in these delivery platforms to improve the oral bioavailability and permeation efficiency of peptide/protein therapeutics. Finally, we discuss the major challenges faced when nano and microscale systems are used for oral peptide/protein delivery. This review is expected to provide critical insight into the design and development of oral peptide/protein delivery systems with significant therapeutic advances.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The main objective of present review is to explore and evaluate the effectiveness of recently developed methods to improve the bioavailability of orally administered biopharmaceutical drugs. METHODS A systematic search of sciencedirect, tandfonline and Google Scholar databases based on various sets of keywords was performed. All results were evaluated based on their abstracts, and irrelevant studies were neglected during further evaluation. RESULTS At present, biopharmaceuticals are used as injectable therapies as they are not absorbed adequately from the different routes of drug administration, particularly the oral one. Their insufficient absorption is attributed to their high molecular weight, degradation by proteolytic enzymes, high hydrophilicity and rigidity of the absorptive tissues. From industrial aspect incorporation of enzyme inhibitors (EIs) and permeation enhancers (PEs) and mucoadhesive polymers into conventional dosage forms may be the easiest way of formulation of orally administered macromolecular drugs, but the effectiveness of protection and absorption enhancement here is the most questionable. Conjugation may be problematic from regulatory aspect. Encapsulation into lipid-based vesicles sufficiently protects the incorporated macromolecule and improves intestinal uptake but have considerable stability issues. In contrast, polymeric nanocarriers may provide good stability but provides lower internalization efficacy in comparison with the lipid-based carriers. CONCLUSION It can be concluded that the combination of the advantages of mucoadhesive polymeric and lid-based carriers in hybrid lipid/polymer nanoparticles may result in improved absorption and might represent a potential means for the oral administration of therapeutic proteins in the near future.

Abstract
In last few years, therapeutic peptides/proteins are rapidly growing in drug market considering their higher efficiency and lower toxicity than chemical drugs. However, the administration of therapeutic peptides/proteins is mainly limited in parenteral approach. Oral therapy which was hampered by harsh gastrointestinal environment and poorly penetrating epithelial barriers often results in low bioavailability (less than 1%-2%). Therefore, delivery systems that are rationally designed to overcome these challenges in gastrointestinal tract and ameliorate the oral bioavailability of therapeutic peptides/proteins are seriously promising. In this review, we summarized various multifunctional delivery systems, including lipid-based particles, polysaccharide-based particles, inorganic particles, and synthetic multifunctional particles that achieved effective oral delivery of therapeutic peptides/proteins.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the enteric coating process affects growth performance, Fe bioavailability, and gene expression levels that maintain iron balance in the body. The test was divided into the control group, ferrous sulfate group, ferrous fumarate group, ferrous glycine chelate(1:1) (Fe-Gly(1:1)) group, ferrous glycine chelate(2:1) (Fe-Gly(2:1)) group, enteric-coated Fe-Gly(1:1) group, and enteric-coated Fe-Gly(2:1) group. The results showed that the growth performance of the rats in each iron supplement group was no significant difference among them. The results of serum biochemical indicators showed that the antioxidant capacity of the rats in the iron supplement group after enteric coating increased. The iron supplementation effect of Fe-Gly(1:1) and Fe-Gly(2:1) was better than that of ferrous sulfate, and the effect of Fe-Gly(1:1) after enteric coating was enhanced. The expression levels of IRP1 and IRP2 in the genes of enteric-coated Fe-Gly(1:1) and enteric-coated Fe-Gly(2:1) were significantly higher than those of ferrous sulfate. The expression levels of IRP1 and IRP2 in the protein of enteric-coated Fe-Gly(1:1) group were significantly higher than those in the Fe-Gly(1:1) group. The above results show that Fe-Gly can improve the bioavailability and antioxidant capacity of iron and reduce the iron output of feces after enteric coating.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Difference of pH that exists between the skin surface and blood circulation can be exploited for transdermal delivery of drug molecules by loading drug into pH-sensitive polymer. Eudragit S100 (ES100), a pH-sensitive polymer having dissolution profile above pH 7.4, is used in oral, ocular, vaginal and topical delivery of drug molecules. However, pH-sensitive potential of this polymer has not been explored for transdermal delivery. The aim of this research work was to exploit the pH-sensitive potential of ES100 as a nanocarrier for transdermal delivery of model drug, that is, Piroxicam. METHODS Simple nanoprecipitation technique was employed to prepare the nanoparticles and response surface quadratic model was applied to get an optimized formulation. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized and loaded into Carbopol 934 based hydrogel. In vitro release, ex vivo permeation and accelerated stability studies were carried out on the prepared formulation. RESULTS Particles with an average size of 25-40 nm were obtained with an encapsulation efficiency of 88%. Release studies revealed that nanoparticles remained stable at acidic pH while sustained release with no initial burst effect was observed at pH 7.4 from the hydrogel. Permeation of these nanocarriers from hydrogel matrix showed significant permeation of Piroxicam through mice skin. CONCLUSION It can be concluded that ES100 based pH-sensitive nanoparticles have potential to be delivered through transdermal route.

Abstract
The development and application of novel nanospheres based on cationic and anionic random amphiphilic polypeptides with prolonged stability were proposed. The random copolymers, e.g., poly(l-lysine-co-d-phenylalanine) (P(Lys-co-dPhe)) and poly(l-glutamic acid-co-d-phenylalanine) (P(Glu-co-dPhe)), with different amount of hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers were synthesized. The polypeptides obtained were able to self-assemble into nanospheres. Such characteristics as size, PDI and ζ-potential of the nanospheres were determined, as well as their dependence on pH was also studied. Additionally, the investigation of their biodegradability and cytotoxicity was performed. The prolonged stability of nanospheres was achieved via introduction of d-amino acids into the polypeptide structure. The cytotoxicity of nanospheres obtained was tested using HEK-293 cells. It was proved that no cytotoxicity up to the concentration of 500 µg/mL was observed. C-peptide delivery systems were realized in two ways: (1) peptide immobilization on the surface of P(Glu-co-dPhe) nanospheres; and (2) peptide encapsulation into P(Lys-co-dPhe) systems. The immobilization capacity and the dependence of C-peptide encapsulation efficiency, as well as maximal loading capacity, on initial drug concentration was studied. The kinetic of drug release was studied at model physiological conditions. Novel formulations of a long-acting C-peptide exhibited their effect ex vivo by increasing activity of erythrocyte Na⁺/K⁺-adenosine triphosphatase.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic health disease affecting the homeostasis of blood sugar levels. However, subcutaneous injection of insulin can lead to patient non-compliance, discomfort, pain and local infection. Sub-micron sized drug delivery systems have gained attention in oral delivery of insulin for diabetes treatment. In most of the recent literature, the terms "microparticles" and "nanoparticle" refer to particles where the dimensions of the particle are measured in micrometers and nanometers respectively. For instance, insulin-loaded particles are defined as microparticles with size larger than 1 μm by most of the research groups. The size difference between nanoparticles and microparticles proffers numerous effects on the drug loading efficiency, aggregation, permeability across the biological membranes, cell entry and tissue retention. For instance, microparticulate drug delivery systems have demonstrated a number of advantages including protective effect against enzymatic degradation, enhancement of peptide stability, site-specific and controlled drug release. Compared to nanoparticulate drug delivery systems, microparticulate formulations can facilitate oral absorption of insulin by paracellular, transcellular and lymphatic routes. In this article, we review the current status of microparticles, microcapsules and microspheres for oral administration of insulin. A number of novel techniques including layer-by-layer coating, self-polymerisation of shell, nanocomposite microparticulate drug delivery system seem to be promising for enhancing the oral bioavailability of insulin. This review draws several conclusions for future directions and challenges to be addressed for optimising the properties of microparticulate drug formulations and enhancing their hypoglycaemic effects.
