{Abstract}: Delivering bioactive peptides orally is hampered by poor absorption across the gastrointestinal barrier. Using the walnut-derived peptide PW5, PPKNW, we explored whether coformulation of peptides with absorption enhancer sodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)aminocaprylate] (SNAC) could improve the intestinal absorption of orally-administered bioactive peptides. Herein, the application of SNAC enhanced the absorption efficiency of PW5 in a non-everted gut sac model. Particle size distribution (1 027.8 ± 6.74 nm) and zeta potential (-2.89 ± 0.07 mV) of the PW5-SNAC complex were significantly greater than that of individual PW5 and SNAC. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that SNAC application could aggravate the surface roughness and reduce the compact structure of PW5. It further showed that PW5 and SNAC binds through an endothermic process underpinned by hydrogen bond and van der Waals forces and that SNAC could bound primarily to the internal calyx of PW5. These findings are helpful for the effective delivery of bioactive peptides.
