Physical and biochemical barriers lack of optimal dosage forms and delivery devices limit the systemic delivery of biotherapeutic agents by inhalation. Current efforts to overcome these difficulties in order to deliver metabolic hormones insulin calcitonin thyroid-stimulating hormone TSH follicle-stimulating hormone FSH and growth hormones systemically to induce systemic responses immunoglobulins cyclosporin A CsA recombinant-methionyl human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor r-huG-CSF pancreatic islet autoantigen and to modulate other biological processes via the lung are reviewed. Safety aspects of pulmonary peptide and protein administration are also discussed. Keywords lung peptides proteins pulmonary absorption systemic delivery Introduction The techniques of recombinant DNA technology have been well refined during the past 20 years such that it is now possible to produce
