Therapeutic peptide development requires rigorous evaluation of stability, selectivity, delivery, and manufacturing. This review details the scientific approaches used to assess these properties, distinguishing between approved medicines and research-use products. We examine analytical, biochemical, and technological strategies, highlight advances and limitations, and clarify the boundaries between research findings and clinical application.
