2012). Treatment and management <strong>of</strong> diabetics using INS still relies on subcutaneous<br />

injections with the added complexities <strong>of</strong> needles, syringes and vial system that hinder patient<br />

compliance.<br />

Table 1.2: Trans<strong>mucosal</strong> routes <strong>of</strong> insulin <strong>delivery</strong> systems. Adapted from Khafagy et al.,<br />

(2007).<br />

Administration Delivery system Model Results<br />

route<br />

Buccal Insulin solution/lysalbinic acid Hamster<br />

cheek pouch<br />

Significantly increased<br />

insulin permeability<br />

De<strong>for</strong>mable lipid vesicles Rabbits BR was 19.78 %<br />

Nasal Nasal powder <strong>for</strong>mulation Rabbits BA was 11.1 %–22.4 %<br />

Insulin–chitosan powder Sheep BR was 17 %<br />

Chitosan–TBA–insulin Rats BA was 7.24 %<br />

microparticles<br />

Pulmonary Insulin microcrystals/Zn 2 + Rats 17 % reduction in blood<br />

glucose levels<br />

Insulin PLGA nanospheres Guinea pigs Long-lasting<br />

hypoglycaemic response<br />

Ocular Insulin<br />

solution/alkylglucosides<br />

Rats Significantly stimulated<br />

systemic insulin<br />

absorption<br />

Gelfoam® ocular device Rabbits 60 % reduction in blood<br />

glucose levels over 8h<br />

Rectal Insulin suppositories/Witepsol Dogs PA was 50 %<br />

W35, SDC, SC, STDC or STC<br />

Insulin glycerol–gelatin<br />

suppositories/snail mucin<br />

Rats 44 % reduction in blood<br />

glucose levels within 2h<br />

Abbreviations: BR, relative bioavailability; BA, absolute bioavailability; SDC, sodium deoxycholate; chitosan–<br />

TBA–insulin, chitosan–4-thiobutylamidine insulin conjugate; PA, pharmacological availability; PLGA,<br />

poly(lactide-co-glycolide); STC, sodium taurocholate; SC, sodium cholate; STDC, sodium taurodeoxycholate<br />

Delivery systems such as liposomes, liquid emulsions, pro-drugs, polymer-inhibitor<br />

conjugates and nanocapsules have been investigated <strong>for</strong> non-invasive INS <strong>delivery</strong> with
