Modified amino acids and methods for their preparation and use as oral delivery systems for pharmaceutical agents are described. The modified amino acids are preparable by reacting single amino acids or mixtures of two or more kinds of amino acids with an amino modifying agent such as benzene sulfonyl chloride, benzoyl chloride, and hippuryl chloride. The modified amino acids may form encapsulating microspheres in the presence of the active agent under sphere-forming conditions. Alternatively, the modified amino acids may be used as a carrier by simply mixing the amino acids with the active agent. The preferred acylated amino acid carrier is salicyloyl-phenylalanine. The modified amino acids are particularly useful in delivering biologically active agents, e.g., desferrioxamine, insulin or cromolyn sodium, or other agents which are sensitive to the denaturing conditions of the gastrointestinal tract.
本文介绍了改性氨基酸及其制备方法和用作药物口服给药系统的方法。改性氨基酸的制备方法是将单一氨基酸或两种或两种以上氨基酸的混合物与氨基改性剂(如苯磺酰氯、苯甲酰氯和海波瑞酰氯)反应。在成球条件下,改性氨基酸可在活性剂存在下形成包封微球。另外,改性氨基酸也可用作载体,只需将氨基酸与活性剂混合即可。首选的酰化氨基酸载体是水杨酰苯丙氨酸。改性氨基酸特别适用于输送生物活性制剂,例如去铁胺、胰岛素或色甘酸钠,或其他对胃肠道变性条件敏感的制剂。
