A drug-carrier matrix has been developed which protects embedded insulin from degradation by the luminally secreted serine-proteases trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4), chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1) and elastase (EC 3.4.21.36) in vitro. Increasing amounts of the Bowman-Birk inhibitor (BBI) and elastatinal, respectively, were
