The LCFA-drug conjugates can be either packaged in acid-resistant capsules or mixed with excipients before they are coated with pH-responsive polymers. The drug conjugates are protected in the acidic gastric fluid. Once in a neutral pH environment, as in the lumen of jejunum or ileum, the pH-sensitive coating dissociates from the drug capsule or other forms of drug packages, resulting in release of the therapeutic agent. Some examples of pH-sensitive polymers can comprise anionic polymers, such as P(MAA-g-EG), P(IA-co-NVP), P(MAA-co-NVP), Alginate-based polymer, hyaluronic acid-based polymer, cationic polymer, such as chitosan-based polymer, amphiphilic polymer, such as P(MAA-g-EG) with PMMA nanoparticles, degrading polymers, such as dextran-based polymer, gelatin-based polymer, carboxymethyl cellulose or poly(acrylic acid) hydrogels, maleic acid cross linked poly(vinyl alcohol), azoaromatic crosslinked polymers, BC-g-P(AA), guar gum- poly(acrylic acid)-(-cyclodextrin)(GG-PAA-CD) (Liu, L.; et al., Drug Deliv, 24(1):569-581, 2017).

[0114] In some cases, the disclosure is also directed to a method for treating a disease of a subject in need thereof, the method comprises orally administering a pharmaceutically effective dosage of any of the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein to the subject. [0115] The disease can be a metabolic disorder, a cancer, respiratory disease, depressing, diabetics, infectious disease, hypertensive, allergy, psychotic disorder, neurological disorder, arthritic disease, coagulation disease, ulcer, reflux, nausea, vitamins deficiency, heart failure, immunodeficiency, or a combination thereof. [0116] In some cases, this disclosure is directed to a use of a composition comprising a bioactive agent covalently conjugated to at least one long chain fatty acid (LCFA) for manufacturing a medicament for treating a disease, wherein the long chain fatty acid can comprise a carbon chain having at least 10 carbon atoms, a first chain end and a second chain end connected by said carbon chain, wherein the first chain end can be linked to the bioactive agent and the second chain end can comprise a free carboxylic acid group, and wherein the disease can be a metabolic disorder, a cancer, respiratory disease, depressing, diabetics, infectious disease, hypertensive, allergy, psychotic disorder, neurological disorder, arthritic disease, coagulation disease, ulcer, reflux, nausea, vitamins deficiency, heart failure, immunodeficiency, or a combination thereof. Any of the aforementioned pharmaceutical composition comprising the bioactive agents and the LCFA can be suitable. The aforementioned process for producing the pharmaceutical composition can be suitable. [0117] The pharmaceutical composition of this disclosure can comprise one or more C10 to C40 LCFAs that each can have a free carboxylic acid or a salt thereof and can have the advantage of delivering the bioactive agent into cells, tissues or organs that have the expression of FATP4. As disclosed herein, short chain fatty acid (SCFA), such as a fatty acid have 8 or less carbon atoms are not effectively transported or delivered in vivo (FIG.10). [0118] The present disclosure provides a form of drug conjugates that can be effectively transported across the small intestinal epithelium through a cell membrane transporter, such as FATP4. The small intestine is the major organ for absorption of nutrients including dietary lipids that are composed of mainly long-chain fatty acids (consisting of 10 or more carbons in the molecule) and glycerol. Transport of LCFA across the apical membrane of small intestinal epithelial cells is mediated by the FATP4 transporter. Since FATP4 can also recognize LCFA-drug conjugates, it provides an advantage for effective absorption of drug molecules from the lumen of small intestine. [0119] The present invention also provides a method for treatment of human diseases with orally delivered bioactive or therapeutic agents. In one particular embodiment, the therapeutic peptides retain their activities after conjugation with LCFA. The LCFA- peptide conjugates can be packaged into enteric-coated formulations. The resulting oral peptide drugs are protected from acidic fluid and digestive enzymes in the stomach. Once the particles reach the small intestine, the pH-responsive coating detach from the package, and the drug conjugates are released to the pH-neutral small intestine lumen where they are transported across the small intestinal epithelial cells as mediated by the FATP4 transporter. In another particular embodiment, a small molecule drug is chemically conjugated to LCFA. The LCFA-drug conjugate can be orally delivered either as a free drug or in an enteric-coated formulation. The drug conjugate is absorbed in the small intestine, and the active drug molecule is cleaved from LCFA afterwards. In an additional particular embodiment, a nanoparticle can be conjugated to the side chain of LCFA either directly or through a LCFA-conjugated drug. The LCFA- nanoparticle conjugates can be packaged in an enteric-coated formulation. This generates an orally deliverable form of nanoparticles. LCFA-nanoparticle can serve as a therapeutic agent, a diagnostic agent, or a carrier for other drugs, such as oligonucleotides. [0120] The instant disclosure now will be exemplified in the following non-limiting examples. EXAMPLES [0121] The present invention is further defined in the following Examples. It should be understood that these Examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only. From the above discussion and these Examples, one skilled in the art can ascertain the essential characteristics of this invention, and without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changes and modifications of the invention to adapt it to various uses and conditions. EXAMPLE 1 Synthesis of LCFA-Ex4 conjugates [0122] Hexadecanedioic acid serves as an example for LCFA in drug conjugation. Site- specific conjugation of Exendin-4 (Ex4) to hexadecanedioic acid was carried out in a two-step process. In the first step, hexadecanedioic acid was mixed with N- hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) in the presence of N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N¢- ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) to form 16-([2,5-Dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl]oxy)- 16-oxohexadecanedioic acid. The resulting product was then mixed with Ex4 in presence of N,N-Diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) in the second step. The reaction is stopped by adding 1% trifluoro acetic acid (TFA) in the reaction mixture. [0123] The following dicarboxylic acids were used in conjugation: octanedioic acid (C8), dodecanedioic acid (C12), hexadecanedioic acid (C16) and octadecanedioic acid (C 18 ) were used to synthesize LCFA-Ex4. Both Lys 12 and Lys 27 residues could be covalently conjugated with the LCFA (FIG. 6A-FIG. 6C). Lys 27 was preferred over Lys 12 . In a controlled experiment, a large quantity of Ex4-Lys 27 -LCFA can be generated (FIG.7 and FIG.8). EXAMPLE 2 Purification and characterization of Ex4-Lys27-LCFA [0124] Reaction mixture of Ex4 and LCFA conjugation was applied for separation in an Agilent semipreparative HPLC instrument (Agilent Infinity 1260) with a ZORBAX 300SB-C18 column. Eluents for separation were 0.1% TFA in Solvent A and acetonitrile in 0.1% TFA in Solvent B. The collected samples were lyophilized to remove acetonitrile. The purified product was characterized with HPLC (FIG. 8) and confirmed with ESI-MS mass spectrometry (FIG.9). EXAMPLE 3 Uptake of fatty acid-Ex4 conjugate by Caco-2 cells [0125] Caco-2 cells were seeded in cell culture plates. Cells were incubated with either fluorescently labeled Ex4-Lys 27 -SCFA (C8) or one of the fluorescently labeled Ex4- Lys 27 -LCFA having a C12, C16 and C18 LCFA. After incubation for one hour, cells were washed with PBS to remove fatty acid-conjugated Ex4. A plate reader was applied to measure fluorescent intensity in each well in the cell culture plate, and the results were compared (FIG.10). EXAMPLE 4 Evaluation of glucose-lowering capacity from Ex4-Lys 27 -LCFA in acid- neutralized mice [0126] Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (GTT) was performed in male C57BL/6 mice. Briefly, 6 to 12-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were fasted overnight and treated by oral gavage with 100 µL 1M NaHCO3 to neutralize acid in the gastric fluid. One minute later, the mice were treated with PBS, 100 µg Ex4, or 100 µg Ex4-Lys 27 -LCFA by oral gavage, respectively. All mice were then treated with 2 g/kg glucose by intraperitoneal injection 1 hour later. Blood samples were collected to measure blood glucose levels. Area under the curve (AUC) of blood glucose was calculated to evaluate hypoglycemic response to each treatment (FIG.11). EXAMPLE 5 Evaluation of glucose-lowering activity from GLP-1-Lys26-LCFA in acid- neutralized mice [0127] Intraperitoneal GTT was performed in male C57BL/6 mice. Briefly, 6 to 12- week-old male C57BL/6 mice were fasted overnight and treated with 100 µL 1M NaHCO3 to neutralize acid in the gastric fluid. One minute later, the mice were treated with PBS, 100 µg GLP-1 analogue, or 100 µg GLP-1-Lys 26 -LCFA by oral gavage, respectively. All mice were then treated with 2 g/kg glucose by intraperitoneal injection 1 hour later. Blood samples were collected to measure blood glucose levels. Area under the curve (AUC) of blood glucose was calculated to evaluate hypoglycemic response to each treatment (FIG.12). EXAMPLE 6 Glucose-lowering activity from GLP-1-Lys 26 -LCFA in enteric-coated formulations [0128] Intraperitoneal GTT was performed in male C57BL/6 mice. Briefly, 6 to 12- week-old male C57BL/6 mice were fasted overnight and treated with PBS control, GLP-1-Lys 26 -LCFA packaged in capsules, or free GLP-1-Lys 26 -LCFA by oral gavage, respectively (FIG. 13). GLP-1-Lys 26 -LCFA packaged in Eudragit L-100-coated SiO2 formulation was assayed at 3 different dosage level, 10 µg, 30 µg or 100 µg, respectively (FIG. 14). All mice were then treated with 2 g/kg glucose by intraperitoneal injection 1 hour later. Blood samples were collected to measure blood glucose levels. Area under the curve (AUC) of blood glucose was calculated to evaluate hypoglycemic response to each treatment. The results demonstrate that the enteric- coated GLP1- Lys 26 -LCFA conjugate is effective in controlling blood glucose level. EXAMPLE 7 Comparison of ibrutinib uptake based on changes in plasma ibrutinib concentration [0129] LCFA-conjugated ibrutinib was synthesized and characterized (FIG. 15 A- FIG.15C). To compare drug uptake between free ibrutinib and LCFA-ibrutinib, mice were treated with an equal amount of free ibrutinib or LCFA-ibrutinib. Blood samples were collected at different time points, and analyzed for ibrutinib content by HPLC. Area under the curve (AUC) of ibrutinib was calculated to evaluate plasma drug concentration (FIG. 16A – FIG. 16B). Date showed that the blood level of ibrutinib was higher with LCFA-ibrutinib (AUC: 6.42837) than that of free ibrutinib (AUC: 2.01081). EXAMPLE 8 Synthesis of LCFA-conjugated microRNA mimic [0130] Click chemistry was applied to conjugate LCFA to microRNA-34a-3p (miR- 34a-3p). Only the anti-sense strand of the miR-34a mimic duplex was chemically conjugated to LCFA and was annealed to the sense strand to form a double stranded RNA-LCFA complex (formula 4) (FIG. 17A). The single stranded structure (formula 5) is shown in FIG. 17B. Briefly, 3-miR-oxy-2-[3-(3-propargyloxypropanamido) propanamido] propyl-1-hydroxy was conjugated with 16-azidohexadecanoic acid via 1, 4-disubstituted 1, 2, 3-triazole. The resulting product was purified. It was then mixed with miR-34a-5p, and the mixture was heated to 95°C and then gradually cooled down to allow proper annealing of the two single strand nucleotide oligos. EXAMPLE 9 Knockdown of c-Myc expression by LCFA-conjugated microRNA-34a mimic [0131] Caco-2 cells were seeded in 6-well cell culture plates, and treated (without any transfection reagent) with 200 nM free scramble siRNA (Scr), 200 nM free miR-34a mimic (miR-34a), or 200 nM LCFA-conjugated miR-34a (FA-miR-34a), respectively. Cells were harvested 3 days later, and lysed to prepare protein samples. Equal amount of protein samples was loaded in 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gels for Western blot analysis. The c-Myc protein was detected with an anti-c-Myc antibody. c-Myc expression levels were detected after both a short-time exposure (short expo) and relatively long-time exposure (long expo). b-Actin was served as an expression control (FIG.18).
