Zinc Phosphate-Insulin-Alginate Particles for Oral Insulin Delivery: Feasibility Studies

摘要

We were able to prepare pH sensitive ceramic insulin particles from zinc phosphate nanoparticles and demonstrate its release profile in vitro. The result was promising towards its possibility in the development of a non-invasive oral insulin delivery system for diabetes. However, the question of degradability of the ceramic particles is yet to be studied.
