“…However, peptides as drugs have two drawbacks, membrane impermeability and poor in vivo stability, which have greatly impaired their clinical use. To date, several synthetic strategies have been developed to overcome these problems, including modifications of C- and/or N-terminals, the introduction of D- or other unnatural amino acids, modification of the backbone, PEGylation, and cyclization [ 12 , 21 , 22 ]. Furthermore, in recent years, to significantly improve the pharmacokinetic properties of peptides, dendrimers have been used effectively as carriers of these molecules [ 23 , 24 , 25 ].…”
