Abstract : Oral formulation of human parathyroid hormone 1-34 (PTH 1-34) is an alternative patient compliant route in treating osteoporosis. PTH 1-34 loaded chitosan nanoparticles were PEGylated (PEG-CS-PTH NPs) and characterized by DLS, SEM, TEM and FTIR. PEG-CS-PTH NP aggregates of 200-250 nm which in turn comprised 20 nm individual nanoparticles were observed in SEM and TEM images respectively. The PEG-CS-PTH NP with 40% encapsulation efficiency was subjected to an in vitro release in simulated rat body fluids. PEG-CS-PTH NP treated human primary osteoblast cells, upon PTH 1-34 receptor activation, produced second messenger-cAMP, which downstream stimulated intracellular calcium uptake, production of bone specific alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin etc., which substantiates the anabolic effect of the peptide. PEG-CS-PTH NPs showed an oral bioavailability of 100-160 pg/mL PTH 1-34 throughout 48 h, which is remarkable compared to the bare PTH 1-34 and CS-PTH NPs. The NIR image of gastrointestinal transit of ICG conjugated PEG-CS-PTH NPs supports this significant finding. © 2013 American Chemical Society.
