I'm not a specialist but I think there are some stapled peptides that do show appreciable uptake, so the blog post is not a complete history; this review reports bioavailability of up to 70% for some agents.

> this review reports bioavailability of up to 70% for some agents

To save us some skimming, could you specify which ones? (The review covers cyclic peptides that are absorbed by all mammals.)


There are several - I’m not sure why you say cyclic peptides are somehow distinct from other peptides regarding their bioavailability?

All peptides face similar challenges with absorption; the cyclic peptides simply have less liability to proteolysis.

The text covers dozens of agents with varied biochemical properties.
