Redefining Drug Delivery

One of the biggest problems with ­conventional drug delivery is that it is often ineffective at shuttling medicine to where it is needed in the body. For instance, the digestive system and the liver often thoroughly degrade orally delivered drugs before they can reach the bloodstream, making a variety of drugs such as those composed of proteins and peptides unsuitable for oral administration. Though injecting drugs into the body avoids the problem of first-pass metabolism, many drugs quickly decay after injection and the rate of drug absorption is typically difficult to control in that delivery route. Other drug-delivery methods face similar problems. “If you consider some of the common methods for delivery of protein and peptide drugs, you end up with a bioavailability that is often very low,� says John Santini, president and CEO of

Show them pictures of a brain or lungs damaged by drugs? Would you drive them to a crack house? A meth lab? Introduce them to addicts struggling to regain their lives? Maybe you would even show them pictures of law enforcement officers slain by drug traffickers. It would be a tall order to accomplish that visually and powerfully in such a small amount of time.
