We have recently shown that intranasal administration of mouse [D-Leu-4]-OB3 reconstituted in Intravail® to male Swiss Webster mice resulted in significantly higher bioavailability than commonly used injection methods of delivery. The absorption profile associated with intranasal delivery of mouse [D-Leu-4]-OB3 showed an early peak representing rapid uptake across the nasal mucosa, and a later peak suggesting a gastrointestinal site of absorption. In the present study, we show that gastrointestinal absorption of mouse [D-Leu-4]-OB3 does occur, and that reformulation of mouse [D-Leu-4-OB3 with Intravail® significantly enhances its uptake. The pharmacokinetics of orally delivered (by gavage) mouse [D-Leu-4]-OB3 in the absence or presence of Intravail® were examined, and compared to previously reported pharmacokinetic parameters of mouse [D-Leu-4]-OB3 following intraperitoneal (ip), subcutaneous (sc), intramuscular (im), and intranasal administration. When compared to oral delivery in PBS, Intravai® significantly enhanced the total uptake (552,710 ng/ml/min vs.137,585 ng/ml/min) and relative bioavailability (4.0 vs. 1.0) of mouse [D-Leu-4-OB3. The relative oral bioavailabilities of mouse [D-Leu-4]-OB3 when compared to ip, sc, im, and intranasal delivery were 52.2%, 47.3%, 37.8% and 12.9%, respectively. The results of this study indicate that oral delivery of mouse [D-Leu-4]-OB3 in Intravail® is an effective method of administration achieving relatively high serum levels of the bioactive peptide when compared to commonly used methods of injection. In addition to intranasal administration, oral delivery of mouse [D-Leu-4]-OB3 in Intravail® may have potential as a novel, non-invasive approach to the treatment of obesity and its associated metabolic dysfunctions in humans.
