Oral insulin delivery has revolutionized diabetes treatment, but challenges including degradation in the gastrointestinal environment and low permeation across the intestinal epithelium remain. Herein, to overcome these barriers, we developed a novel biodegradable nanocomposite microsphere embedded with metal–organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles. An iron-based MOF nanoparticle (NP) (MIL-100) was first synthesized as a carrier with an insulin loading capacity of 35%. The insulin-loaded MIL-100 nanoparticles modified with sodium dodecyl sulfate (Ins@MIL100/SDS) promoted insulin permeation across Caco-2 monolayer models in vitro. To improve resistance to the gastric acid environment, Ins@MIL100/SDS nanoparticles were embedded into a biodegradable microsphere to construct the nanocomposite delivery system (Ins@MIL100/SDS@MS). The microspheres effectively protected the MOF NPs from rapid degradation under acidic conditions and could release insulin-loaded MOF NPs in the simulated intestinal fluid. After the oral administration of Ins@MIL100/SDS@MS into BALB/c nude mice, increased intestinal absorption of the insulin was detected compared to the oral administration of free insulin or Ins@MIL100/SDS. Furthermore, significantly enhanced plasma insulin levels were obtained for over 6 h after oral administration of Ins@MIL100/SDS@MS into diabetic rats, leading to a remarkably enhanced effect in lowering blood glucose level with a relative pharmacological availability of 7.8%. Thus, the MOF-nanoparticle-incorporated microsphere may provide a new strategy for effective oral protein delivery.
