Peptide-based pharmaceuticals serve as essential therapeutic agents for addressing different conditions such as cancer together with diabetes and infectious diseases. Clinical therapeutic use of peptides is restricted by meager bioavailability, quick enzymatic breakdown, and weak stability. Direct injection and chemical modification methods have revealed a restricted capacity for overcoming these delivery barriers. Nanoformulations establish themselves as promising approaches to address limitations related to peptide drug delivery. Nanocarrier systems composed of liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, and solid lipid nanoparticles provide better stability functions with delayed release kinetics and enhanced absorption through biological barriers. Drugs formulated into such treatments protect peptides from enzyme breakdown while extending their presence in the bloodstream, resulting in superior therapeutic outcomes. The review investigates modern developments in nano-based peptide transport by analyzing progressive formulation techniques, presenting research conclusions, and predicting clinical usage. The review also addresses obstacles when translating nanocarriers to clinical usage while outlining future development strategies to optimize peptide therapeutic nano-formulations.
