Issues Associated with Protein-Based Pharmaceuticals

Rita Haj Ahmad

Proteins are crucial molecules for various biological processes in our body. Production of pharmaceutical formulations of proteins is challenging because of the complexity of protein purification, synthesis and instability. This is why most of protein formulations are currently available in injection forms which overcome the poor bioavailability of proteins delivered by other route of administrations (e.g. oral and inhalation routes), provide greater control by the clinical administrator, and faster pharmaceutical development.
