  • Friday, June 13, 2025 | 10am EDT (NA) / 3pm BST (UK) / 4pm CEST (EU-Central)
  • 60 min

The design of synthetic peptide analogues offers potential to overcome several inherent limitations of natural peptides, including rapid degradation, poor permeability and adverse effects.

This webinar will discuss key absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) characteristics in peptide drug development, showcasing in-vitro data from representative examples across different peptide classes, including natural peptides, hormones, cyclic peptides, GLP-1 analogues and synthetic D-amino acid peptides.

Attendees will gain insights into the key ADME properties that influence novel peptide therapeutics, with a focus on:

  • Evaluation of peptide stability in biological matrices (plasma, liver, intestine, kidney) and resistance to proteases
  • Mechanisms of protease resistance and strategies for improving metabolic stability
  • Assessment of in-vitro permeability and factors affecting absorption

This webinar is ideal for professionals involved in peptide drug development, formulation scientists, pharmacokinetic experts and anyone interested in advancing the stability and performance of peptide-based therapeutics.

Register for this webinar to gain valuable insights into ADME properties across diverse peptide classes and discover strategies to enhance metabolic stability and drug-like performance.
