The PLGA nanoparticles for sustainable release of CGRP to ameliorate the inflammatory and vascular disorders in the lung of CGRP-deficient rats.

ABSTRACT: The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has been demonstrated relating to vascular and inflammatory regulations not only the nerve systems. As the anti-inflammation factor and the most potent vasodilator, the CGRP holds therapeutic potentials for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases which was, however, limited by its peptide nature and short half-life. With advantages in improving the stability, circulation time and protection from degradation, the nanoparticles were promising as delivery carriers for the peptide. Nevertheless, few nanoparticulate systems were developed to deliver the CGRP peptide for the modulation of vascular or inflammatory functions instead of neural regulation. In this study, the CGRP was encapsulated into the poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticle
