Consult internet and find out how to make orally active protein pharmaceutical. What is the major problem to be encountered?
Generally, the orally active protein pharmaceuticals are biologically active molecules such as small peptides, proteins and antibodies. The peptides and proteins can be synthesized in lab where as antibodies are raised in lower animals and then used for therapeutic purposes. However, if they administered orally they would be digested by digestive acids and enzymes. Therefore, they are usually encapsulated in biodegradable material and ingested. Generally, the orally active protein pharmaceuticals are biologically active molecules such as small peptides, proteins, and antibodies and are administered as particles coated with biodegradable material.
