摘要
Peptides are small biological molecules that are attractive in drug delivery and materials engineering for applications including therapeutics, molecular building blocks and cell-targeting ligands. Peptides are small but can possess complexity and functionality as larger proteins. Due to their intrinsic properties, peptides are able to overcome the physiological and transport barriers presented by diseases. In this review, we discuss the progress of identifying and using peptides to shuttle across biological barriers and facilitate transport of drugs and drug delivery systems for improved therapy. Here, the focus of this review is on rationally designed, phage display peptides, and even endogenous peptides as carriers to penetrate biological barriers, specifically the blood–brain barrier (BBB), the gastrointestinal tract (GI), and the solid tumor microenvironment (T). We will discuss recent advances of peptides as drug carriers in these biological environments. From these findings, challenges and potential opportunities to iterate and improve peptide-based approaches will be discussed to translate their promise towards the clinic to deliver drugs for therapeutic efficacy. © 2017, The Korean Society of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technology.
