Furthermore, reducing the quantity of viable intramolecular and intermolecular H- bonds caused by the elimination of the NH- group can enhance metabolic stability via conformational regulation or steric hindrance.
26.3.1.2.2 Substitution of L- Amino Acids With D- Amino Acids
This methodology entails replacing naturally occurring L- amino acids that are particularly vulnerable to proteolytic degradation and are metabolically unstable with unnatural D- amino acids that function as three- dimensional (3D) mirror images. Therapeutic peptides that have employed this approach include agonists and antagonists of gonadotropin- releasing hormone (GnRH), octreotide, ipamorelin, exenatide, and liraglutide, which are glucagon- like peptide- 1 (GLP- 1) analogs, D- peptides including PIE12- trimer and rotigaptide, and others.

clearance rate of proteins include PEG- adenosine deaminase (PEG- ADA), PEG- asparaginase, PEG- rIL2, and PEG- IFN. Native ADA is not effective due to its short half- life (<30 min) and is immunogenic due to its bovine source. In contrast, PEGylated ADA (Adagen®) is quite effective, has a long half- life, and is nonimmunogenic.
26.3.2.1.2 Chemistry
PEG has two hydroxyl groups at each end of the linear chain. PEGylation is often done by creating a reactive electrophilic intermediate with succinimide (thus producing N- hydroxysuccinimide, NHS), which undergoes electrophilic substitution by an amine group of the protein (). The NHS

polymer can be used. To make PEG monofunctional, one end of the chain is blocked with a methyl ether (methoxy) group. Such a monofunctional PEG is termed monomethoxyPEG (mPEG). Thus, mPEG contains only one hydroxyl group per chain, thus limiting activation and coupling to one site.

26.4 Methods of Delivery
26.4.1 Nanotechnology
Advanced peptide- based drugs are being developed using chemistry and nano approaches to overcome physicochemical constraints in the pharmaceutical industry. Ionic surfactants like cetrimide and sodium dodecyl- sulfate (SDS) enhance peptide distribution across tissue membranes. Encapsulating peptides into nanoparticles or combining them with polymers like polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and PEG can also improve their bioavailability.

through a covalent linker to a monoclonal antibody that serves as a targeting moiety. The discovery and development of ADCs follow unique paradigms that overlap small- and large- molecule drug discovery and development but have unique distinctions. For example, the attachment of a hydrophobic drug to the mAb changes mAb surface properties and conformational stability. It can increase protein aggregation and surface hydrophobicity.

27.1 Introduction
Almost all human diseases are the result of inappropriate protein production or due to some structural disorder that impacts protein performance. Traditional small- molecule drugs are designed to interact with protein molecules that support or cause diseases. Protein drugs seek to replace the defective protein in cases where missing or defective protein is the cause of the disease. Enzyme replacement therapy is a

Compared to conventional small molecular weight and protein drugs, nucleic acid medicines are designed to suppress or generate endogenous proteins by acting on or with the transcription and translation mechanisms of the formation of proteins from the genetic code.

Several different approaches are used for turning nucleic acids into therapeutics. Among them, antisense oligonucleotides (ODNs), RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and virus- based gene therapy approaches are the most widely studied. Antisense ODNs and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) aim to inhibit aberrant protein production. In contrast, gene therapy aims at using the patient’s somatic cells to produce therapeutic proteins needed for treating genetic or acquired diseases.

Antisense drugs inhibit the existing but abnormally expressed genes by blocking the transcription of DNA or the translation of mRNA.
