Ultraviolet spectrophotometry as method to determine the concentration of β-myrcene released from chitosan in aqueous medium. J Pharmacol Toxicol Methods 2024; 127:107509.

Abstract
Myrcene (β-myrcene), found in essential oils from plant species such as hops and cannabis, has many advantageous properties, but its use is limited due to volatility and low solubility in water. One way to circumvent these limitations is to encapsulate the essential oils in a polymer matrix. However, these hydrophobic molecules are difficult to quantify when dispersed in water. Seeking to study the release of this terpene in drug release tests from polymeric matrices, this work aimed to develop an easy and cheap UV spectrophotometric method for the quantification of β-myrcene in aqueous medium. To achieves this goal, samples were prepared in 0.05% (w/v) polysorbate 80 solution, with concentrations of β-myrcene ranging from 0.01% to 0.1% (v/v), and were analyzed at 226 nm. Each sample was analyzed in triplicate and repeated on three different days, to evaluate the repeatability of the results. The results were subjected to Q, F and Student's t-tests. The regression parameters obtained for β-myrcene were above 0.99 and through statistical analysis, it was possible to confirm the repeatability for the results. The values of the limits of detection and quantification indicated that the method is not affected by intrinsic factors of the equipment. The results of accuracy, robustness and selectivity showed recovery rates within acceptable limits. This demonstrates that the quantification of β-myrcene in aqueous medium by UV spectrophotometry is feasible.

Abstract
Polysorbate 80 (PS80), a chemical substance composed of sorbitol, ethylene glycol, and fatty acids, is commonly used in pharmaceutical drug products to stabilize formulations. However, recent studies have demonstrated that PS80 may hydrolyze over time and the released free fatty acids (FFAs) may lead to particle formation. Naming conventions of fatty acids in current pharmacopeia and in products' certificates of analysis (CoA) of PS80 do not typically distinguish between isomeric species of fatty acids in PS80. Thus, methods to fully characterize the fatty acid species present in PS80 raw materials are needed to enhance quality control strategies of pharmaceuticals using PS80. Here, extended effort is taken to characterize fatty acids in hydrolyzed PS80 raw materials and elucidate the identities of isomeric fatty acid species. In this work, a method was developed and optimized for separation and detection of fatty acids in alkaline hydrolyzed PS80 raw materials using ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) with ultra-violet (UV) detection and evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD). Fatty acids not specified in the current pharmacopeias were detected in PS80 raw material by the developed LC-UV-ELSD method including conjugated forms of linoleic and linolenic fatty acid species. Their identities were orthogonally confirmed by retention time agreement with analytical standards, accurate mass by high resolution mass spectrometry, UV absorbance, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The detected conjugated fatty acids are theoretically more hydrophobic and less soluble than their unconjugated counterparts and may increase the propensity of PS80 to form particles upon hydrolysis. This work highlights the need for better quality control of PS80 raw material, as it may eventually play a critical role in product quality of therapeutic proteins.

Abstract
We concentrated and reformulated the anti-cocaine mAb, h2E2, to reduce the amount of sucrose and histidine buffer infused with the mAb, to satisfy FDA maximum exposure levels for those components for use in clinical trials. After concentration of the original 20 mg/ml mAb, 4 reformulation buffers were evaluated for suitability. The concentration of histidine was reduced from 10 mM to 3 or 0 mM, and the concentration of sucrose reduced from 10% to 2, 4, or 6%. The approximately 100 mg/ml reformulated mAb samples were analyzed for oligomer formation, aggregation, concentration of the emulsifier polysorbate 80, and thermal stability. These reformulated mAb samples were also assessed for their stability at 40°C from 1 day to 12 weeks. As expected, long term thermal resistance to oligomer formation increased as a function of increasing sucrose concentration. Interestingly, unbuffered reformulated mAb displayed a less than or equal to tendency to form oligomers and aggregates, compared to the histidine buffered samples. Importantly, even after 12 weeks at 40°C, all the reformulated samples displayed little aggregation, and bound their antigen (cocaine) with identical affinities and thermodynamics, as measured by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). These ITC thermodynamic binding parameters are consistent with recently published values for the original formulation of this mAb. In all reformulated samples there was a slight decrease in the number of cocaine binding sites after 12 weeks at 40°C, likely due to the parallel small increase in soluble oligomeric antibody, suggesting that soluble oligomeric mAb may no longer bind cocaine with high affinity.

Insights into protein photooxidation with respect to protein concentration. Int J Pharm X 2022; 5:100155. [PMID: 36798831 PMCID: PMC9926095 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpx.2022.100155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Visible light (400-800 nm) can lead to photooxidation of protein formulations, which might impair protein integrity. However, the relevant mechanism of photooxidation upon visible light exposure is still unclear for therapeutic proteins, since proteinogenic structures do not absorb light in the visible range. Here, we show that exposure of monoclonal antibody formulations to visible light, lead to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which subsequently induce specific protein degradations. The formation of ROS and singlet oxygen upon visible light exposure is investigated using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. We describe the initial formation of ROS, most likely after direct reaction of molecular oxygen with a triplet state photosensitizer, generated from intersystem crossing of the excited singlet state. Since these radicals affect the oxygen content in the headspace of the vial, we monitored photooxidation of these mAb formulations. With increasing protein concentrations, we found (i) a decreasing headspace oxygen content in the sample, (ii) a higher relative number of radicals in solution and (iii) a higher protein degradation. Thus, the protein concentration dependence indicates the presence of higher concentration of a currently unknown photosensitizer.

Abstract
Biocompatible Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) nanogels (NGs) were developed at 40–65 nm to deliver Trans-Tephrostachin (TT) in zebrafish brain. Neurospecific PNIPAM NGs are functionalized with polysorbate 80 (PS80) to overcome the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB). The TT loaded with NG (NG + TT) was confirmed in UV-spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with 90% efficiency of controlled release at 37 °C. The neurospecificity of NG was confirmed in 144 hours post fertilization (hpf) larvae with PS80 surface-treated rhodamine-B (Rh–B) conjugated NG and visualized in the zebrafish CNS. Oral gavaging of TT loaded NG with PS80 surface treatment (NG + TT + PS80) was confirmed to cross the BBB in adult zebrafish at 37 °C. TT release was detected by RP-HPLC. LC50 was determined as 250 μg/ml for NG, 172 μg/ml for NG + TT, and 0.9 μg/ml for TT at 96 hpf and confirmed the lesser toxicity in TT bound NG. Delays in growth and malformations were observed at concentrations above the 96 hpf-LC50. The behavior outcomes were varied with phase - and concentration-dependent hypo- or hyperactivity. The altered expression of genes associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was found at 96 hpf of its LC50 concentration. The expression of appa was significantly increased for TT and supporting the TT to bind NG without altering the AD genes. Thus the study suggests the biocompatible potential of PNIPAM and its neurospecific delivery to the brain.

Abstract
Quantitative evaluation of drug dissolution characteristics based on mathematical models is essential to understand and predict a particular drug release profile. In this study, model-dependent evaluation of the dissolution kinetics of reference and five test products (25-mg, immediate-release (IR) tablets) of an antihypertensive drug, carvedilol, was carried out using the DDSolver® program. The effects of pH (pH 1.2, 4.5, and 6.8) and various media with/without 0.5% (w/v) anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants (sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and polysorbate 80) on the dissolution kinetics of the bioequivalent IR products of carvedilol were investigated. The Weibull-1 model was fitted successfully to the dissolution data of all products at pH 1.2 and pH 4.5, as well as in the pH 6.8 medium with CTAB according to the model goodness of fit (r2 = 0.981-0.999, AIC = 14.5-42.6, MSC = 1.99-5.25). Model fitting produced good fits to Gompertz-1 for all products at pH 6.8 without a surfactant (r2 = 0.975-0.998, AIC = 28.3-55, MSC = 2.53-5.82). For pH 6.8 media containing SLS or polysorbate 80, Logistic-2 was fitted successfully to the dissolution data of all products (r2 = 0.974-0.999, AIC = 20.9-52.1, MSC = 1.90-5.69). Overall, the model-dependent analysis of in vitro dissolution data indicated in vitro equivalence of the reference and test products of carvedilol in each medium in terms of kinetic models, suggesting that it would have an important role in developing generic drug products of the BCS class II drug carvedilol.

Abstract
Polysorbate is a key excipient included in formulations of therapeutic proteins to help prevent aggregation and surface adsorption. The stability of both polysorbate and therapeutic proteins can be compromised by oxidative degradation. In general, polysorbate is added to formulations at concentrations above the critical micelle concentration (cmc). To date, however, few experiments have quantitatively addressed the extent of extra- and intra-micellar oxidation of polysorbate in pharmaceutically relevant buffers. This study utilizes 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine)dihydrochloride (AAPH), a peroxyl radical-generating initiator, C11-BODIPY(581/591), a lipid peroxidation probe, and fluorescence spectroscopy to reveal that both intra- and extra-micellar oxidation proceed in pharmaceutically relevant phosphate and histidine buffers. It is further demonstrated that the relative extent of oxidation observed in the intra- and extra-micellar compartments is similar irrespective of the buffer system.

Abstract
Purpose Erythropoietin (EPO) is a 165 amino acid protein that promotes the proliferation of erythrocytic progenitors. A decrease in endogenous EPO production causes anemia that can be treated with recombinant Human EPO (rHuEPO). Objective To ensure the safety and efficacy of the rHuEPO, manufacturers must use analytical methods to demonstrate similarity across batches and between different products. To do this they need reference standards to validate their equipment and methods. Method We used peptide mapping, size-exclusion chromatography, glycoprofiling, and isoelectric focusing to analyze a rHuEPO reference standard. Results Characterization demonstrates that our rHuEPO reference standard meets the criteria for quality. Conclusion The rHuEPO reference standard is fit for purpose as a tool for validating system suitability and methods.

Abstract
Biologics may be subjected to various destabilizing conditions during manufacturing, transportation, storage, and use. Therefore, biologics must be appropriately formulated to meet their desired quality target product profiles. In the formulations of protein-based biologics, one critical component is surfactant. Polysorbate 80 and Polysorbate 20 remain the most commonly used surfactants. Surfactants can stabilize proteins through different mechanisms and help the proteins withstand destabilization stresses. However, the challenges associated with surfactants, for instance, impurities, degradation, and potential triggering of adverse immune responses, have been encountered. Therefore, there are continued efforts to develop novel surfactants to overcome these challenges associated with traditional surfactants. Meanwhile, surfactants have also found their use in formulations of newer and novel modalities, namely, antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies, and adeno-associated viruses (AAV). This review provides an updated in-depth discussion of surfactants in the above-mentioned areas, namely mechanism of action of surfactants, a critical review of challenges with surfactants and current mitigation approaches, and emerging technologies to develop novel surfactants. In addition, gaps, current mitigations, and future directions have been presented to trigger further discussion and research to facilitate the use and development of novel surfactants.

Abstract
A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method was developed to provide a fingerprint of polysorbate 80 (PS80) subspecies that enables identification of PS80 degradation pathway. The developed method demonstrates unique monoester peak profile of PS80 from different vendors, attributed by differences in relative abundance of the fatty acid monoesters. The LC-MS method was also applied to examine the susceptibility of PS80, at different grades, to auto-oxidation and hydrolysis. PS80 oxidative degradation induced by iron or occurred in open bottle without nitrogen overlay was found to follow the same pathway, but at a much faster rate in the former scenario. The oxidation preferentially occurs at the double bond of fatty acid chains, thus providing explanation on the faster degradation observed in PS80 at Chinese Pharmacopia (ChP) grade than at multi-compendial (MC) grade. In contrast, the difference in susceptibility of MC and ChP grade PS80 against esterase-induced hydrolysis in placebo was not pronounced. The method was also able to provide a fingerprint to identify both PS80 hydrolysis and oxidation in mAb drug product stability samples, but it required a solid phase extraction step to remove protein prior to the analysis.

The development of textile finishing with improved functional properties has been a growing interest among industry and scientists worldwide. The recent global pandemic also enhanced the awareness amongst many toward improved hygiene and the use of antimicrobial textiles. Generally, natural herbal components are known to possess antimicrobial properties which are green and eco-friendly. This research reports a novel and innovative method of developing and optimising nano-emulsions using two combinations of herbal extracts produced from Moringa Oleifera, curry leaf, coconut oil (nano-emulsion 1) and other using Aegle marmelos with curry leaf and coconut oil (nano-emulsion 2). Nano-emulsions were optimised for their pH, thermal stability, and particle size, and percentage add-on. Organic cotton fabrics (20 and 60 gsm) were finished with nano-emulsions using continuous and batch processes and characterised for their surface morphology using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The finished fabrics were evaluated for their Whiteness Index, assessed for antimicrobial resistance against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) using AATCC 100 and 147 methods. In addition, fabrics were assessed for their antifungal efficacy (AATCC 30), tensile strength and air permeability. Results suggested that finished organic fabrics with nano-emulsions had antimicrobial resistance, antifungal, wash fastness after 20 washing cycles, and sufficient strength. This novel finishing method suggests that organic cotton fabrics treated with nano-emulsions can be used as a durable antimicrobial textile for healthcare and hygiene textiles.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 592:468-484.

Abstract
As a result of the synthesis protocol polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (polysorbate 80, PS80) is a highly complex mixture of compounds. PS80 was therefore separated into its main constituents, e.g. polyoxyethylene isosorbide esters and polyoxyethylene esters, as well as mono- di- and polyesters using preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. In this comprehensive study the individual components and their ethoxylation level were verified by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight and their thermotropic behavior was analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. A distinct correlation was found between the average length of the ethylene oxide (EO) chains in the headgroup and the individual compounds' ability to crystallize. Importantly, a critical number of EO units required for crystallization of the headgroup was determined (6 EO units per chain or 24 per molecule). The investigation also revealed that the hydrocarbon tails only crystallize for polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters if saturated. PS80 is synthesized by reacting with approximately 20 mol of EO per mole of sorbitol, however, the number of EO units in the sorbitan ester in commercial PS80 products is higher than the expected 20 (5 EO units per chain). The complex behavior of all tested compounds revealed that if the amount of several of the linear by-products is reduced, the number of EO units in the chains will stay below the critical number and the product will not be able to crystallize by the EO chains.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Review and assess pharmaceutical and clinical characteristics of chloroquine including high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based methods used to quantify the drug in pharmaceutical products and biological samples. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A literature review was undertaken on the PubMed, Science Direct, and Scielo databases using the following keywords related to the investigated subject: 'chloroquine', 'analytical methods', and 'HPLC'. RESULTS For more than seven decades, chloroquine has been used to treat malaria and some autoimmune diseases, such as lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. There is growing interest in chloroquine as a therapeutic alternative in the treatment of HIV, Q fever, Whipple's disease, fungal, Zika, Chikungunya infections, Sjogren's syndrome, porphyria, chronic ulcerative stomatitis, polymorphic light eruption, and different types of cancer. HPLC coupled to UV detectors is the most employed method to quantify chloroquine in pharmaceutical products and biological samples. The main chromatographic conditions used to identify and quantify chloroquine from tablets and injections, degradation products, and metabolites are presented and discussed. CONCLUSION Research findings reported in this article may facilitate the repositioning, quality control, and biological monitoring of chloroquine in modern pharmaceutical dosage forms and treatments.

Abstract
Biomimetic adhesive surfaces have a number of potential applications in the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields. Fabrication techniques must be adapted to biocompatible and biodegradable materials required for controlled drug release applications. In this study biomimetic adhesive poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) films loaded with different concentrations of clotrimazole (CTZ) were prepared without combining other adhesive excipients as a controlled release system for potential local oral drug delivery. The films were fully characterized from morphological point of view, and CTZ-loaded biomimetic films exhibited adequate surface pH values, high drug encapsulation efficiency, and loading content. The adhesion strength of the obtained films was significantly higher compared to a flat film reference under different contact conditions. Thermal analysis indicated a decrease of drug crystallinity upon incorporation into PLGA films. The in vitro release of CTZ from PLGA biomimetic films was tested in simulated saliva, and it exhibited an initial burst release, accompanied by a sustained release phase over 10 days. Finally, the mucoadhesive properties of the obtained films was studied using agar/mucin plate as a representative mucosal substrate, and the results demonstrated superior mucoadhesion potential of CTZ-loaded biomimetic film in comparison to its flat counterpart. Having demonstrated the ability to load CTZ into PLGA biomimetic films with enhanced adhesion capacity, the potential use in local oral drug delivery applications warrants further in vitro and in vivo investigations.

Abstract
Cloud point extraction (CPE) is a simple, safe and environment-friendly technique used in the preparation of various samples. It was primarily developed for the assessment of environmental samples, especially analyzed for metals. Recently, this technique has been used in the extraction and determination of various chemical compounds (e.g., drugs, pesticides and vitamins), in various matrices (e.g., human plasma, human serum, milk and urine). In this review, we show that CPE is a reliable method of extraction and can be used in analytical laboratories in combination with other techniques that can be used in the determination of drugs and other chemicals in the human biological matrix. According to the literature, a combination of different methods provides good recovery and can be used in the simultaneous determination of many drugs in a single analysis. CPE can be optimized by changing its conditions (e.g., type of surfactant used, incubation temperature, pH and the addition of salts). In this review, we present the optimized CPE methods used in the determination of various pharmaceuticals and describe how the conditions affect the performance of extraction. This data might support future designing of the new CPE applications that are simple and more accurate. We compared CPE with other extraction methods and also showed the advantages and disadvantages of various extraction techniques along with a discussion on their environmental impact. According to the publications reviewed, it is obvious that CPE is an easy, safe, rapid and inexpensive method of extraction.

Abstract
Polysorbates (PSs) are the most common surfactants in therapeutic protein formulations, and it is crucial to monitor their concentration along the life cycle of biopharmaceuticals. We developed a simple multi-well plate fluorescence-based assay for the rapid determination of PS20 and PS80 content in biopharmaceutical products. The method is based on the detection of the fluorescence emission intensity of the fluorescent dye 1,1'-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate in the presence of PSs at concentrations below their critical micelle concentration. This method can be applied for PS content determination in protein formulations (≤100 mg/mL) without the need of a previous protein removal step. The 1,1'-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate assay implemented in multi-well plate format is suitable for high-throughput concentration screening. It has a linear range from 0.00020% to 0.0025% (w/v) PS20, and the limits of detection and quantification were 0.00020% and 0.00055% (w/v), respectively. This assay is markedly more selective and shows no or lower interferences due to hydrophobic components (e.g., silicone oil) potentially present in finished products than the fluorescence micelle assay based on N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine. It also provides comparable results for the PS content in liquid chromatography with charged aerosol detection analysis with protein removal, providing a fast alternative.

Abstract
Abstract
The present study investigates the application of induced air flotation (IAF) technique on PAHs (PAHs) removal performance from a real oilfield produced water of a separator cell. The quantification of total PAHs (PAHtot) was done using ultraviolet-visible spectrometry (UV-Vis) according to the naphthalene calibration curve. The UV-Vis spectra of naphthalene dissolved in a mixture of the binary solvent (water-ethanol) and the Tween 80 showed stability in the molecular orbital of C10H8. The use of small concentration of Tween 80 was revealed to be discrete in the quantification of PAHtot. The flotation process was improved at the critical micelle concentration of Tween 80 (CMC) of 2 % and the critical coalescence concentration of ethanol (CCC) of 0.5 mL/L for the PAHtot recovery of 49.76 % and the PAHtot content in the pulp of 50.24 %. At these concentrations, half of PAHtot was removed from produced water PW. Above the CMC and the CCC, the PAHtot recovery decreased and the PAHtot content in the pulp increased. It was found that there is a collector concentration at which the amount of water carrying from the pulp to the concentrate was increased and in parallel, the PAHtot recovery increased and the PAHtot content in the pulp decreased. Both of the CMC and the CCC have promoted the decrease on the conditioning time from 30 to 10 min and the flotation time from 20 to 6 min. Since the impeller speed and air flow rate were constant, the flotation of PAHs was limited. The flotation kinetics of PAHtot was described by the Higuchi model.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to characterize the stability of new vehicles for the undecylenoyl phenylalanine that is used as skin-lightening agent in the melasma treatment. The purpose of this research was also to analyse the release kinetics of phenylalanine derivative from topical preparations through different synthetic membranes. Topical formulations such as two different macroemulsions, hydrogels (based on carbomer and hydroxyethylcellulose) and microemulsions were characterized in terms of stability by laser diffraction method. Additionally, multiple light scattering assessed the stability of macroemulsions. The release rates of active substance through different membranes (such as Cuprophan, nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate and Strat-M) were determined using enhancer cell. In order to explain the mechanism of release process the results were fitted with different kinetic models. New stable vehicles for Ude-Phe were successfully obtained. The results proved that the membrane structure had the influence on the release rate of undecylenoyl phenylalanine. The slowest release rate of Ude-Phe was observed when Strat-M membrane was applied. The highest amount of active substance was released from the hydrogel based on carbomer. The release of undecylenoyl phenylalanine from both macroemulsions and hydrogel based on hydroxyethylcellulose followed the Higuchi model. Whereas the release results of Ude-Phe from both microemulsion-based hydrogels and carbomer hydrogel can be described by using Korsmeyer-Peppas model. Hydrogels and microemulsion-based hydrogels could be recommended as proper vehicles for the derivative of phenylalanine.

Abstract
PURPOSE Interactions between a pharmaceutical drug and its delivery device can result in changes in drug concentration and leachable contamination. Flucloxacillin, amiodarone and cyclosporin were investigated for drug concentration changes and leachable contamination after delivery through an intravenous administration set. METHODS Flucloxacillin, amiodarone and cyclosporin were delivered through an intravenous administration set and the eluate analysed by HPLC-UV and HPLC-MS. RESULTS The average recovery of flucloxacillin was 99.7% and no leachable compounds were identified. The average recovery of cyclosporin was 96.1%, which contrasts previous findings that have reported up to 50% loss of cyclosporin. This is likely due to the use of DEHP-free administration sets in this study, as adsorption of cyclosporin is linearly related to DEHP content. The average recovery of amiodarone was 91.5%. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural was identified in the amiodarone solution following delivery through the administration set as well as the 5% glucose solution used for delivery. CONCLUSIONS Drug/administration set interactions may modify pharmaceuticals during delivery. In this study, only 90% of the amiodarone was delivered through a generic administration set. Given the growing use of generic administration sets in hospital settings, validation of the suitability of their use is required to ensure patient safety and expected levels of efficacy.

Abstract
Essentials Factor VIII inhibitors are the most serious complication in patients with hemophilia A. Aggregates in biopharmaceutical products are an immunogenic risk factor. Aggregates were identified in recombinant full-length factor VIII products. Aggregates in recombinant factor VIII products are identified by analytical ultracentrifugation. SUMMARY Background The development of inhibitory anti-factor VIII antibodies is the most serious complication in the management of patients with hemophilia A. Studies have suggested that recombinant full-length FVIII is more immunogenic than plasma-derived FVIII, and that, among recombinant FVIII products, Kogenate is more immunogenic than Advate. Aggregates in biopharmaceutical products are considered a risk factor for the development of anti-drug antibodies. Objective To evaluate recombinant full-length FVIII products for the presence of aggregates. Methods Advate, Helixate and Kogenate were reconstituted to their therapeutic formulations, and subjected to sedimentation velocity (SV) analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC). Additionally, Advate and Kogenate were concentrated and subjected to buffer exchange by ultrafiltration to remove viscous cosolvents for the purpose of measuring s20,w values and molecular weights. Results The major component of all three products was a population of ~7.5 S heterodimers with a weight-average molecular weight of ~230 kDa. Helixate and Kogenate contained aggregates ranging from 12 S to at least 100 S, representing ≈ 20% of the protein mass. Aggregates greater than 12 S represented < 3% of the protein mass in Advate. An approximately 10.5 S aggregate, possibly representing a dimer of heterodimers, was identified in buffer-exchanged Advate and Kogenate. SV AUC analysis of a plasma-derived FVIII product was confounded by the presence of von Willebrand factor in molar excess over FVIII. Conclusions Aggregate formation has been identified in recombinant full-length FVIII products, and is more extensive in Helixate and Kogenate than in Advate. SV AUC is an important method for characterizing FVIII products.

Abstract
Recycled paper mills produce large quantities of fibrous rejects and fines which are usually sent to landfills as solid waste. These cellulosic materials can be enzymatically hydrolyzed into sugars for the production of biofuels and biomaterials. Paper mill wastes also contain large amounts of calcium carbonate which inhibits cellulase activity. The calcium carbonate (30%, w/w) decreased 40-60% of sugar yield of unbleached softwood kraft pulp. The prime mechanisms for this are by pH variation, competitive and non-productive binding, and aggregation effect. Addition of acetic acid (pH adjustment) increased the sugar production from 19 to 22 g/L of paper mill waste fibers. Strong affinity of enzyme-calcium carbonate decreased free enzyme in solution and hindered sugar production. Electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions are mainly possible mechanism of enzyme-calcium carbonate adsorption. The application of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 alleviated the non-productive binding of enzyme with the higher affinity on calcium carbonate. Dissociated calcium ion also inhibited the hydrolysis by aggregation of enzyme.

Abstract
Tuberculosis remains a major global health problem and alternative therapeutic approaches are needed. Considering the high prevalence of lung tuberculosis (80% of cases), the pulmonary delivery of antitubercular drugs in a carrier system capable of reaching the alveoli, being recognised and phagocytosed by alveolar macrophages (mycobacterium hosts), would be a significant improvement to current oral drug regimens. Locust bean gum (LBG) is a polysaccharide composed of galactose and mannose residues, which may favour specific recognition by macrophages and potentiate phagocytosis. LBG microparticles produced by spray-drying are reported herein for the first time, incorporating either isoniazid or rifabutin, first-line antitubercular drugs (association efficiencies >82%). Microparticles have adequate theoretical properties for deep lung delivery (aerodynamic diameters between 1.15 and 1.67 μm). The cytotoxic evaluation in lung epithelial cells (A549 cells) and macrophages (THP-1 cells) revealed a toxic effect from rifabutin-loaded microparticles at the highest concentrations, but we may consider that these were very high comparing with in vivo conditions. LBG microparticles further evidenced strong ability to be captured by macrophages (percentage of phagocytosis >94%). Overall, the obtained data indicated the potential of the proposed system for tuberculosis therapy.

Delivery of doxorubicin and paclitaxel from double-layered microparticles: The effects of layer thickness and dual-drug vs. single-drug loading. Acta Biomater 2015; 27:53-65. [PMID: 26340886 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2015.08.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2015] [Revised: 08/14/2015] [Accepted: 08/31/2015] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Double-layered microparticles composed of poly(d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid, 50:50) (PLGA) and poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) were loaded with doxorubicin HCl (DOX) and paclitaxel (PCTX) through a solvent evaporation technique. DOX was localized in the PLGA shell, while PCTX was localized in the PLLA core. The aim of this study was to investigate how altering layer thickness of dual-drug, double-layered microparticles can influence drug release kinetics and their antitumor capabilities, and against single-drug microparticles. PCTX-loaded double-layered microparticles with denser shells retarded the initial release of PCTX, as compared with dual-drug-loaded microparticles. The DOX release from both DOX-loaded and dual-drug-loaded microparticles were observed to be similar with an initial burst. Through specific tailoring of layer thicknesses, a suppressed initial burst of DOX and a sustained co-delivery of two drugs can be achieved over 2months. Viability studies using spheroids of MCF-7 cells showed that controlled co-delivery of PCTX and DOX from dual-drug-loaded double-layered microparticles were better in reducing spheroid growth rate. This study provides mechanistic insights into how by tuning the layer thickness of double-layered microparticles the release kinetics of two drugs can be controlled, and how co-delivery can potentially achieve better anticancer effects. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE While the release of multiple drugs has been reported to achieve successful apoptosis and minimize drug resistance, most conventional particulate systems can only deliver a single drug at a time. Recently, although a number of formulations (e.g. micellar nanoparticles, liposomes) have been successful in delivering two or more anticancer agents, sustained co-delivery of these agents remains inadequate due to the complex agent loading processes and rapid release of hydrophilic agents. Therefore, the present work reports the multilayered particulate system that simultaneously hosts different drugs, while being able to tune their individual release over months. We believe that our findings would be of interest to the readers of Acta Biomaterialia because the proposed system could open a new avenue on how two drugs can be released, through rate-controlling carriers, for combination chemotherapy.

Abstract
Bacteriophages have regained much attention as biocontrol agents against bacterial pathogens. However, with respect to stability, phages are biomolecules and are therefore sensitive to a number of environmental influences. UV-irradiation can readily inactivate phage infectivity, which impedes their potential application in the plant phyllosphere. Therefore, phages for control of Erwinia amylovora, the causative agent of fire blight, need to be protected from UV-damage by adequate measures. We investigated the protective effect of different light-absorbing substances on phage particles exposed to UV-light. For this, natural extracts from carrot, red pepper, and beetroot, casein and soy peptone in solution, and purified substances such as astaxanthin, aromatic amino acids, and Tween 80 were prepared and tested as natural sunscreens for phage. All compounds were found to significantly increase half-life of UV-irradiated phage particles and they did not negatively affect phage viability or infectivity. Altogether, a range of readily available, natural substances are suitable as UV-protectants to prevent phage particles from UV-light damage.

Abstract
The adsorption of proteins on nanoparticle surface is one of the first events that occur when nanoparticles enter in the blood stream, which influences nanoparticles lifetime and further biodistribution. Albumin, which is the most abundant protein in serum and which has been deeply characterized, is an interesting model protein to investigate nanoparticle-protein interactions. Therefore, the interaction of nanoparticles with serum albumin has been widely studied. Immunomethods were suggested for the investigation of adsorption isotherms because of their ease to quantify the non-adsorbed bovine serum albumin without the need of applying separation methods that could modify the balance between the adsorbed and non-adsorbed proteins. The present work revealed that this method should be applied with caution. Artifacts in the determination of free protein can be generated by the presence of surfactants such as polysorbate 80, widely used in the pharmaceutical and biomedical field, that are needed to preserve the stability of nanoparticle dispersions. It was shown that the presence of traces of polysorbate 80 in the dispersion leads to an overestimation of the amount of bovine serum albumin remaining free in the dispersion medium when determined by both radial immunodiffusion and rocket immunoelectrophoresis. However, traces of poloxamer 188 did not result in clear perturbed migrations. These methods are not appropriate to perform adsorption isotherms of proteins on nanoparticle dispersions containing traces of remaining free surfactant. They should only be applied on dispersions that are free of surfactant that is not associated with nanoparticles.

Abstract
SUMMARY
Objectives
This in vitro study evaluated the effect of two matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors on the color stability of two shades of a nanofilled resin composite.
Methods and Materials
A total of 60 sound human molars were used in this study. Flat dentin surfaces were obtained by wet grinding the occlusal surfaces. Following acid etching, the molars were divided into three equal groups according to the MMP inhibitor used: Group 1: no inhibitor (control group), group 2: chlorhexidine digluconate based (CHX; Consepsis, Ultradent, South Jordan, UT, USA); group 3: doxycycline based (MTAD; Biopure, Dentsply TulsaDental, Johnson, TN, USA). Adper Single Bond 2 Adhesive (3M ESPE, St Paul, MN, USA) was applied to the treated dentin surfaces. Each group was then subdivided into two equal subgroups of 10 molars each, according to the shade of the resin composite (Filtek Z350 XT, 3M ESPE) used, either B1 or A3. The color was assessed for each subgroup at three times: baseline (after 24 hours); after aging using a total energy of 600 kJ/m2 (Weather-Ometer Ci35A, Atlas Electronic Devices Company, Chicago, IL, USA); and then after a second period of aging, for a total energy of 1200 kJ/m2. Color assessment was carried out using a spectrophotometer. Color change (ΔE) was calculated according to the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage L*a* b* color scale, comparing each aging period with the baseline color measurement. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance and Tukey post hoc test.
Results
All tested subgroups showed greater discoloration than the clinically acceptable level (3.3). MTAD induced the highest statistically significant color change, followed by CHX, whereas the control groups showed the lowest statistical ΔE values with both tested shades. Shade B1 subgroups showed higher ΔE values when compared with shade A3 subgroups.
Conclusion
Accelerated aging caused color change in a nanofilled resin composite regardless of MMP inhibitor used. Furthermore, lighter shades showed less color stability when compared with darker shades.

Abstract
Since the isolation of paclitaxel and its approval for the treatment of breast cancer, various taxanes and taxane formulations have been developed. To date, almost 100 bioanalytical assays have been published with the method development and optimization often extensively discussed by the authors. This Review presents an overview of assays published between January 1970 and September 2013 that described method development and validation of assays used to quantify taxanes in biological matrices such as plasma, urine, feces and tissue samples. For liquid chromatography assays, sample pretreatment, chromatographic separation and assay performance are compared. Since this Review discusses the limitations of previously developed liquid chromatography assays and gives recommendations for future assay development, it can be used as a reference for future development of liquid chromatography assays for the quantification of taxanes in various biological matrices to support preclinical and clinical studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of current study was to investigate the influence of a common non-ionic surfactant, polysorbate 80 (PS80), on radioactive labelling process of a novel PET tracer, [(18)F]Flutemetamol. METHODS Ferrous oxidation-xylenol orange (FOX) assay, in addition to UV/VIS and (1)H NMR spectroscopies were applied to characterise the composition of the PS80 solution after storage. Multivariate Curve Resolution (MCR) and PLS analysis was used to establish correlation between quality of the PS80 solution and the RCP obtained after labelling. RESULTS The levels of unsaturated fatty acid moieties of PS80 were negatively correlated to RCP of [(18)F]Flutemetamol after synthesis. This explains the slight increase in RCP when stored PS80 solutions were applied in the synthesis. The mechanism behind this observation is suggested to be related to radiation induced radical formation in the unsaturated fatty acids, which subsequently causes instability of the PET tracer. UV/VIS spectroscopy was demonstrated to have the ability as a possible control tool for quality assurance of the studied radioactive labelling process. CONCLUSIONS The presence of unsaturated fatty acid moieties in PS80 was found to be one of the most important factors responsible for the reduction in RCP of [(18)F]Flutemetamol after synthesis.

Abstract
First-line cancer chemotherapy necessitates high parenteral dosage and repeated dosing of a combination of drugs over a prolonged period. Current commercially available chemotherapeutic agents, such as Doxil and Taxol, are only capable of delivering single drug in a bolus dose. The aim of this study is to develop dual-drug-loaded, multilayered microparticles and to investigate their antitumor efficacy compared with single-drug-loaded particles. Results show hydrophilic doxorubicin HCl (DOX) and hydrophobic paclitaxel (PTX) localized in the poly(dl-lactic-co-glycolic acid, 50:50) (PLGA) shell and in the poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) core, respectively. The introduction of poly[(1,6-bis-carboxyphenoxy) hexane] (PCPH) into PLGA/PLLA microparticles causes PTX to be localized in the PLLA and PCPH mid-layers, whereas DOX is found in both the PLGA shell and core. PLGA/PLLA/PCPH microparticles with denser shells allow better control of DOX release. A delayed release of PTX is observed with the addition of PCPH. Three-dimensional MCF-7 spheroid studies demonstrate that controlled co-delivery of DOX and PTX from multilayered microparticles produces a greater reduction in spheroid growth rate compared with single-drug-loaded particles. This study provides mechanistic insights into how distinctive structure of multilayered microparticles can be designed to modulate the release profiles of anticancer drugs, and how co-delivery can potentially provide better antitumor response.

Abstract
This study focused on the detection and quantification of organic micelle-type nanoparticles (NPs) with polysorbate components (polysorbate 20 and polysorbate 80) in their micelle shells that could be used to load biologically active compounds into fruit juice. Several advanced analytical techniques were applied in the stepwise method development strategy used. In the first phase, a system consisting of ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography employing a size exclusion column coupled with an evaporative light scattering detector (UHPLC-SEC-ELSD) was used for the fractionation of micelle assemblies from other, lower molecular weight sample components. The limit of detection (LoD) of these polysorbate micelles in spiked apple juice was 500 μg mL(-1). After this screening step, mass spectrometric (MS) detection was utilized to confirm the presence of polysorbates in the detected micelles. Two alternative MS techniques were tested: (i) ambient high-resolution mass spectrometry employing a direct analysis in real time ion source coupled with an Orbitrap MS analyzer (DART-Orbitrap MS) enabled fast and simple detection of the polysorbates present in the samples, with a lowest calibration level (LCL) of 1000 μg mL(-1); (ii) ultrahigh-performance reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRTOF-MS) provided highly selective and sensitive detection and quantification of polysorbates with an LCL of 0.5 μg mL(-1).

Abstract
In order to limit the adverse reactions caused by polysorbate 80 in Taxotere®, a widely used formulation of docetaxel, a safe and effective nanocarrier for this drug has been developed based on micelles formed by a new class of well-defined polyoxyethylene sorbitol oleate (PSO) with sorbitol as the matrix in aqueous solution. The physicochemical properties of the amphiphilic surfactant and the resulting micelles can be easily fine-tuned by the homogeneous sorbitol matrix and pure oleic acid. Composition, critical micelle concentration, and entrapment efficiency were investigated by ultraviolet visible spectroscopy, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, fluorospectrophotometry, and high-performance liquid chromatography. In vitro and in vivo evaluation revealed that PSO had exceptionally low hemolysis and histamine release rates compared with commercial polysorbate 80. Moreover, the tumor targeting delivery of PSO was investigated by in vivo imaging in S180 tumor-bearing mice. The results suggest that this novel delivery system, PSO, provides an acceptable alternative to polysorbate 80 for delivery of docetaxel. Further, due to the hypoallergenic nature of PSO, the mechanism of pseudoallergy caused by the polyoxyethylene nonionic surfactant was investigated. Based on in vitro cell analysis, it was assumed that the initial contact of polyoxyethylene nonionic surfactant with mast cells provoked pseudoallergy via polyamine receptor-mediated endocytosis.

Abstract
RATIONALE Polysorbates are nonionic surfactants that consist primarily of fatty acid esters of polyethoxy sorbitan. This study proved that polysorbates can be quantitatively analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Using MALDI-TOF MS, relative intensity and concentration ratios were correlated, and extensive research was conducted to understand the influencing factors. METHODS Polysorbate 20 and 40 were mixed in the desired ratios and irradiated with a N2 laser. MALDI-TOF mass spectra were recorded in positive ion mode to test the linearity. All commercial polysorbates were analyzed to determine the relative concentration of the components using the same method. RESULTS The relative peak intensity ratio as a function of the relative concentration ratio was analyzed, and a reasonably good linearity (R(2) = 0.987 for polysorbate 20) was obtained. This study illustrates the process of converting the analyte signal response into the concentration, supporting the notion that quantitative MALDI-TOF MS can be used to analyze polymers. MALDI-TOF MS analysis of commercial polysorbate formulations revealed a complex mixture of oligomers that was related to the fatty acid composition. CONCLUSIONS Polysorbates 20 and 40 were characterized, and the simultaneous quantitative analysis of polysorbate 20 was reported. This method requires no tedious sample pretreatment. Therefore, it is a promising method for the rapid simultaneous quantitation of polysorbates 20 and 40.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the phase behaviour and the structure of the n-hexane/water emulsions based on a nonionic, nontoxic and biocompatible surfactant, Tween 80. This system is of interest for new pharmaceutical techniques based on supercritical fluids to form nano- and encapsulated particles. However, it showed a lack of stability denoted by large areas of macroemulsion. For this reason, the effect of additives (alcohols and brine) and external variables (temperature) were explored. The replacement of water by brine caused negligible impact due to the nonionic character of Tween 80. On the contrary, the presence of an alcohol (ethanol or 1-butanol) enhanced the solubility of the surfactant in the oil phase and decreased the mixture viscosity, resulting in improved surface activity. Similar results were obtained by raising the temperature until the cloud point was reached (60°C). With these modifications, microemulsions at relatively low concentrations of surfactant (around 30%) and within a broad interval of compositions could be obtained, widening their possible use in pharmaceuticals manufacturing (such as controlled drug delivery, enzymatic reactions, or excipient processing). The understanding of the surfactant performance could be further used to substitute the n-hexane by a greener solvent, such as supercritical CO2.

Abstract
The chemical composition of polysorbate 80 strongly influences the physicochemical properties and performance of many products. Consequently, a reliable characterization of polysorbate 80 is crucial for many applications. However, the exact composition of these chemical mixtures cannot be determined by colorimetry, hydrolysis, size-exclusion chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance or mass spectrometry (MS). Meanwhile, due to the strong retention of higher esters on the reversed-phase (RP) column, the published high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods suffered from inadequate elution. In the present paper, an HPLC-evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD) and an HPLC-electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS method were developed and validated for the separation and identification of the chemical composition of polysorbate 80. A full separation of the entire composition was achieved in 45 min. In the HPLC-ESI-MS spectra, each class of the compound in polysorbate 80 was directly confirmed and identified by [M + NH(4)](+) and [M + 2NH(4)](2+) ions. The number of polyoxyethylene groups and their distribution within the molecule were determined, in addition to the dehydration and esterification degree of sorbitol. Analysis showed that polysorbate 80 contained different proportions of components (polyoxyethylene sorbitan, polyoxyethylene isosorbide, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate-dioesters-trioleates-tetraoleates and polyoxyethylene isosorbide monoester-dioesters). It was concluded that HPLC-ESI-MS is a useful tool for establishing the compositional profile of polysorbate 80.

Abstract
A simple and rapid method using refractive index high-performance liquid chromatography (RI-HPLC) was developed for the determination of polysorbates (PS) in processed foods. PS were extracted with ethyl acetate containing 5% methanol. The extract was cleaned up on a multimode cartridge (300 mg) and an Alumina-N cartridge (500 mg) to remove fats and food color. HPLC separation was performed on a C18 column (4.6 i.d. x 150 mm) with methanol as the mobile phase. The recoveries of PS80 from nine kinds of foods fortified at the levels 1-5 g/kg were 80-99%. The limit of quantitation for PS80 in foods was 0.10 g/kg. The proposed method was applied to Worcestershire sauce that was PS-positive by TLC, and PS was confirmed to be present as PS80 at the concentration of 0.13 g/kg.
