Abstract
Bioconjugation techniques have emerged as powerful tools for enhancing the stability and targeting efficiency of protein and peptide therapeutics. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the various bioconjugation strategies employed in the field. The introduction highlights the significance of bioconjugation techniques in addressing stability and targeting challenges associated with protein and peptide-based drugs. Chemical and enzymatic bioconjugation methods are discussed, along with crosslinking strategies for covalent attachment and site-specific conjugation approaches. The role of bioconjugation in improving stability profiles is explored, showcasing case studies that demonstrate successful stability enhancement. Furthermore, bioconjugation techniques for ligand attachment and targeting are presented, accompanied by examples of targeted protein and peptide therapeutics. The review also covers bioconjugation approaches for prolonging circulation and controlled release, focusing on strategies to extend half-life, reduce clearance, and design-controlled release systems. Analytical characterization techniques for bioconjugates, including the evaluation of conjugation efficiency, stability, and assessment of biological activity and targeting efficiency, are thoroughly examined. In vivo considerations and clinical applications of bioconjugated protein and peptide therapeutics, including pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic considerations, as well as preclinical and clinical developments, are discussed. Finally, the review concludes with an overview of future perspectives, emphasizing the potential for novel conjugation methods and advanced targeting strategies to further enhance the stability and targeting efficiency of protein and peptide therapeutics.
Keywords: Bioconjugation, protein, peptide, crosslinking, site-specific, stability, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic.
