pH-sensitive nanoparticles as carriers for oral delivery of a model peptidomimetic drug / Rosa Elizabeth Valente Pereira

Peptide-related drugs are usually unstable in the harsh gastrointestinal environment with poor absorption throughout the gut. The potential of anionic pH-sensitive nanoparticles to act as novel drug carriers for oral administration of such compounds was investigated using a peptidomimetic drug, cefo...
