One-stop Solution for Peptide or Protein Drug Formulation Development

CD Formulation provides biopharmaceutical clients with leading CRO drug discovery services throughout the drug manufacturing process, enabling our partners to provide a one-stop solution from peptide or protein drug formulation development to finished dosage forms.

About Peptide or Protein Formulations

Peptides are a class of compounds composed of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, and are chemically active substances commonly found in living organisms. Generally speaking, drugs with more than 100 amino acid molecules belong to protein drugs, while drugs with less than 100 amino acid molecules belong to peptide drugs.

Due to the physicochemical nature of peptides themselves, their main preparation type is lyophilized powder. In recent years, besides the classical subcutaneous, intramuscular and intravenous administration, other routes of administration have been gradually developed, including mucosal administration, oral administration and transdermal administration routes. In addition to various delivery systems, the application of excipients also helps peptides to enter drug development. The use of substances such as algose, sucrose, maltose, and glucose as excipients will increase the solubility and in vivo stability of peptides. Nanotechnology as a promising technology will be useful in peptide drug formulation, for example, nanoparticles, liposomes and micelles can better protect the drug from degradation.
