Mercaptonicotinic acid activated thiolated chitosan (MNA-TG-chitosan) to enable peptide oral delivery by opening cell tight junctions and enhancing transepithelial transport

Abstract Recent advances in peptide delivery and nanotechnology has resulted in emergence of several non-parenteral administration routes that replace subcutaneous injections associated with patient discomfort. Thiolated biopolymers are relatively new materials being explored to enhance mucoadhesivi...
