Purpose
The purpose of this study was to identify and optimize spray drying parameters of importance for the design of an inhalable powder formulation of a cationic liposomal adjuvant composed of dimethyldioctadecylammonium (DDA) bromide and trehalose-6,6′-dibehenate (TDB).Methods
A quality by design (QbD) approach was applied to identify and link critical process parameters (CPPs) of the spray drying process to critical quality attributes (CQAs) using risk assessment and design of experiments (DoE), followed by identification of an optimal operating space (OOS). A central composite face-centered design was carried out followed by multiple linear regression analysis.Results
Four CQAs were identified; the mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD), the liposome stability (size) during processing, the moisture content and the yield. Five CPPs (drying airflow, feed flow rate, feedstock concentration, atomizing airflow and outlet temperature) were identified and tested in a systematic way. The MMAD and the yield were successfully modeled. For the liposome size stability, the ratio between the size after and before spray drying was modeled successfully. The model for the residual moisture content was poor, although, the moisture content was below 3% in the entire design space. Finally, the OOS was drafted from the constructed models for the spray drying of trehalose stabilized DDA/TDB liposomes.Conclusions
The QbD approach for the spray drying process should include a careful consideration of the quality target product profile. This approach implementing risk assessment and DoE was successfully applied to optimize the spray drying of an inhalable DDA/TDB liposomal adjuvant designed for pulmonary vaccination.Diagram of an optimal operating space highlighting the process design space where the critical criteria are met: White: No criteria met.

Purpose
Understanding the mechanism of protein-excipient interaction and illuminating the influencing factors on protein stability are key steps in the rational design of protein formulations. The objective of this study was to assess effects of preferential interaction type of excipient and surface aromatic hydrophobicity of protein on protein solution stability.Methods
The preferential interaction between excipient and aromatic hydrophobic area of protein was investigated by solubility and fluorescence studies of amino acid derivatives in excipient solutions. We examined conformational, colloidal and mechanical stabilities of model proteins with different surface aromatic hydrophobicities, including bovine serum albumin (BSA) and ovalbumin (OVA), and then stability data were visualized by three-index empirical phase diagram.Results
The result showed that preferentially excluded excipients (trehalose, sucrose and sorbitol) protected protein conformation against damage, but they could accelerate mechanical stress-induced aggregation. Preferentially bound excipients (propanediol and arginine) suppressed BSA aggregation, but arginine failed to inhibit OVA aggregation, which might be attributed to the disparate conformational perturbing effects of arginine on aromatic hydrophobic regions of BSA and OVA.Conclusions
These findings provided strong evidence that excipient possessed bilateral effects, and its application should be determined on different preferential interaction behaviors of excipients with protein, especially with the aromatic hydrophobic region.3.
Purpose
To encapsulate a large amount of protein (superoxide dismutase, SOD) into unilamellar liposomes using a simple process and to investigate the lipid-protein interaction.Method
To achieve protein encapsulation, preformed unilamellar empty liposomes were mixed with SOD and subjected to freeze-thaw cycling. To investigate the lipid-protein interaction, a novel light scattering technique was used.Results
Up to 50% protein encapsulation was achieved at ??150?nm. There was no significant change in particle size following the freeze-thaw cycling. SOD had a strong interaction with DPPC liposomes containing high concentration of cholesterol. Light scattering data revealed that in some cases the SOD molecules were present inside the lipid bilayer.Conclusions
The method reported here allows great flexibility in the manufacturing process as the liposome preparation and protein-loading operations can be separated. Accordingly, empty liposomes can be prepared without concern about protein stability, making the manufacturing process more flexible and easy to control and ultimately leading to improved product quality. To explain the SOD-lipid interaction, a ??pocket-embedding?? theory was proposed. The encapsulation method reported here can be applied to hydrophilic small molecules as well as most hydrophilic proteins to achieve high encapsulation efficiency. 相似文献4.

Purpose
A novel bifunctional liposome with long-circulating and pH-sensitive properties was constructed using poly(2-ethyl-oxazoline)-cholesteryl methyl carbonate (PEtOz-CHMC) in this study.Methods
PEtOz-CHMC was synthesized and characterized by TLC, IR and 1H-NMR. The obtained PEtOz lipid was inserted into liposomes by the post-insertion method. Through a series of experiments, such as drug release, tumor cell uptake, cytotoxicity, calcium-induced aggregation, pharmacokinetic experiments, etc., the pH-sensitive and long-circulating properties of PEtOzylated liposomes was identified.Results
PEtOz-CHMC modified liposomes (PEtOz-L) showed increased calcein release at low pH. Flow cytometric analysis results showed that the fusion and cellular uptake of PEtOz-L could be promoted significantly at pH 6.4 compared with those at pH 7.4. Confocal laser scanning microscope observations revealed that PEtOz-L could respond to low endosomal pH and directly released the fluorescent tracer into the cytoplasm. MTT assays in HeLa cells demonstrated that doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) loaded PEtOz-L exhibited stronger anti-tumor activity in a medium at pH 6.4 than in a medium pH 7.4. PEtOz-L remained stable when these liposomes were incubated in calcium chloride solution. The cumulative calcein release rate of PEtOz-L was significantly lower than that of CL when the liposomes were dialysed in PBS. The pharmacokinetic experiments of liposomes in rats showed that t 1/2 and AUC of PEtOz-L were 4.13 times and 4.71 times higher than those of CL.Conclusions
PEtOzylated liposomes exhibits excellent long-circulating and pH-sensitive properties. Our results suggest that PEtOz is a promising biomaterial for the modification of liposome in drug delivery. 相似文献5.

Purpose
A microfluidic hydrodynamic flow focusing technique enabling the formation of small and nearly monodisperse liposomes is investigated for continuous-flow synthesis of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-modified and PEG-folate-functionalized liposomes for targeted drug delivery.Methods
Controlled laminar flow in thermoplastic microfluidic devices facilitated liposome self-assembly from initial lipid compositions including lipid/cholesterol mixtures containing PEG-lipid and folate-PEG-lipid conjugates. Relationships among flow conditions, lipid composition, and liposome size were evaluated; their impact on PEG and folate incorporation were determined through a combination of UV–vis absorbance measurements and characterization of liposome zeta potential.Results
PEG and folate were successfully incorporated into microfluidic-synthesized liposomes over the full range of liposome sizes studied. Efficiency of PEG-lipid incorporation was inversely correlated with liposome diameter. Folate-lipid was effectively integrated into liposomes at various flow conditions.Conclusions
Liposomes incorporating relatively large PEG-modified and folate-PEG-modified lipids were successfully synthesized using the microfluidic flow focusing platform, providing a simple, low cost, rapid method for preparing functionalized liposomes. Relationships between preparation conditions and PEG or folate-PEG functionalization have been elucidated, providing insight into the process and defining paths for optimization of the microfluidic method toward the formation of functionalized liposomes for pharmaceutical applications. 相似文献6.
Near-Infrared Image-Guided Delivery and Controlled Release Using Optimized Thermosensitive Liposomes
Purpose
To engineer optimized near-infrared (NIR) active thermosensitive liposomes to potentially achieve image-guided delivery of chemotherapeutic agents.Methods
Thermosensitive liposomes were surface-coated with either polyethylene glycol or dextran. Differential scanning calorimetry and calcein release studies were conducted to optimize liposomal release, and flow cytometry was employed to determine the in vitro macrophage uptake of liposomes. Indocyanine green (ICG) was encapsulated as the NIR dye to evaluate the in vivo biodistribution in tumor-bearing mice.Results
The optimized thermosensitive liposome formulation consists of DPPC, SoyPC, and cholesterol in the 100:50:30 molar ratio. Liposomes with dextran and polyethylene glycol demonstrated similar thermal release properties; however in vitro macrophage uptake was greater with dextran. Non-invasive in vivo NIR imaging showed tumor accumulation of liposomes with both coatings, and ex vivo NIR imaging correlated well with actual ICG concentrations in various organs of healthy mice.Conclusions
The optimized thermosensitive liposome formulation demonstrated stability at 37?°C and efficient burst release at 40 and 42?°C. Dextran exhibited potential for application as a surface coating in thermosensitive liposome formulations. In vivo studies suggest that liposomal encapsulation of ICG permits reliable, real-time monitoring of liposome biodistribution through non-invasive NIR imaging. 相似文献7.

Purpose
To develop a liposome formulation incorporating antigen-presenting cells (APCs) membrane microdomains with enriched epitope/MHC complexes to evaluate the activities of these liposomes (RAFTsomes) to activate T cells and prime immune responses.Methods
We isolated membrane microdomain structures that contained the epitope/MHC complexes from ovalbumin (OVA) primed dendritic cells (DCs), and reconstituted them on liposomes surface by detergent dialysis. The resulted RAFTsomes were purified by density gradient centrifugation. Their T cell activation functions were evaluated by IL-2 secreting and proliferation assays in vitro. In vivo immune responses and the protective effect against OVA expressing EG.7 tumor challenge were also examined.Results
Membrane microdomains containing enriched epitope/MHC complexes can be reconstituted into liposomes with defined size and composition. The integrity and activities of these complexes after reconstitution were confirmed by in vitro T cell assays. OVA epitope loaded RAFTsomes injected in vivo resulted in high anti-OVA IgG production (predominantly IgG1). The immunized mice were protected from EG.7 tumor cell inoculation challenge.Conclusions
Based on these findings, we propose that RAFTsomes can be prepared with unique properties that may be used as an antigen delivery system for immunotherapeutic applications. 相似文献8.

Purpose
There are many important diseases whose treatment could be improved by delivering a therapeutic protein to the colon, for example, Clostridium difficile infection, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s Disease. The goal of this project was to investigate the feasibility of colonic delivery of proteins using multiparticulate beads.Methods
In this work, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was adopted as a model protein. BSA was spray layered onto beads, followed by coating of an enteric polymer EUDRAGIT® FS 30 D to develop a colonic delivery system. The secondary and tertiary structure change and aggregation of BSA during spray layering process was examined. The BSA layered beads were then challenged in an accelerated stability study using International Council for Harmonization (ICH) conditions. The in vitro release of BSA from enteric coated beads was examined using United States Pharmacopeia (USP) dissolution apparatus 1.Results
No significant changes in the secondary and tertiary structure or aggregation profile of BSA were observed after the spray layering process. Degradation of BSA to different extents was detected after storing at 25°C and 40°C for 38 days. Enteric coated BSA beads were intact in acidic media while released BSA in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer.Conclusion
We showed the feasibility of delivering proteins to colon in vitro using multiparticulate system.9.

Purpose
A novel application of oscillatory shear rheology was used to directly monitor global phase behavior of protein formulations in the frozen state and study its correlation with physical instability of frozen protein formulations.Methods
Oscillatory rheology was used to measure changes in rheological parameters and to identify mechanical softening temperature (Ts*) and related properties of an IgG2 mAb formulation. Rheological measurements were compared to DSC/MDSC. Physical stability of IgG2 formulations was monitored by SE-HPLC.Results
Rheological parameters and Ts* of an IgG2 formulation were sensitive to physical/morphological phase changes during freezing and thawing. Ts* of the frozen formulation was a function of concentration of protein and excipient. Complex modulus, G*, and phase angle, δ, for IgG2 at 70 mg/mL in a sucrose-containing formulation showed the system was not completely frozen at ?10°C, which correlated to stability data consistent with ice-induced protein aggregation.Conclusions
We report the first application of oscillatory shear rheology to study phase behavior of IgG2 in a sucrose-containing formulation and its correspondence with physical stability not explained by glass transition (Tg’). We provide a mechanism and data suggesting that protein instability occurs at the ice/water interface. 相似文献10.
Purpose
To test targeted liposomes in an effort to improve drug transport across cellular barriers into the brain.Methods
Therefore we prepared Mitoxantrone (MTO) entrapping, rigid and fluid liposomes, equipped with a 19-mer angiopeptide as ligand for LDL lipoprotein receptor related protein (LRP) targeting.Results
Fluid, ligand bearing liposomes showed in vitro the highest cellular uptake and transcytosis and were significantly better than the corresponding ligand-free liposomes and rigid, ligand-bearing vesicles. Treatment of mice, transplanted with human breast cancer cells subcutaneously and into the brain, with fluid membrane liposomes resulted in a significant reduction in the tumor volume by more than 80% and in a clear reduction in drug toxicity. The improvement was mainly depended on liposome fluidity while the targeting contributed only to a minor degree. Pharmacokinetic parameters were also improved for liposomal MTO formulations in comparison to the free drug. So the area under the curve was increased and t1/2 was extended for liposomes.Conclusion
Our data show that it is possible to significantly improve the therapy of brain metastases if MTO-encapsulating, fluid membrane liposomes are used instead of free MTO. This effect could be further enhanced by fluid, ligand bearing liposomes. 相似文献11.

Purpose
To enable aggregation rate prediction over a broad temperature range for complex multi-domain proteins at high concentrations.Methods
Thermal unfolding, non-isothermal kinetics and storage stability studies were conducted on a model multi-domain protein (MDP) at moderate to high concentrations (25–125 mg/mL) over a broad temperature range (4–40°C).Results
Storage stability studies indicated the aggregation of MDP in solution to be a second order process. Application of Arrhenius kinetics to accelerated stability data resulted in underestimation of the aggregation rate under refrigerated conditions. Additional studies undertaken to understand the mechanism of the aggregation process highlighted the association of the monomer (or the aggregation competent species) to be the rate-limiting step for aggregation over the temperature range studied. Thermal unfolding studies in the presence of urea were used to calculate the heat capacity change upon unfolding (Δcp,un). The resulting value of Δcp,un when used in the extended Lumry-Eyring model resulted in a more accurate and a conservative estimate of the aggregation rate under refrigerated condition. Some complicating factors for the aggregation rate prediction for multi-domain proteins at high concentration are discussed.Conclusions
The work highlights (i) the significance of incorporating unfolding thermodynamics in protein aggregation rate prediction, (ii) the advantages and challenges associated with the use of the extended Lumry-Eyring (ELE) model for rate prediction and (iii) the utility of using the Arrhenius and the ELE models in tandem during product development. 相似文献12.

The combination of delivery systems such as cationic liposomes and immunopotentiating molecules is a promising approach for the rational design of vaccine adjuvants. In this study, a synthetic analogue of the mycobacterial lipid monomycoloyl glycerol (MMG), referred to as MMG-1, was synthesized and combined with the cationic surfactant dimethyldioctadecylammonium (DDA). The purpose of the study was to provide a thorough pharmaceutical characterization of the resulting DDA/MMG-1 binary system and to evaluate how incorporation of MMG-1 affected the adjuvant activity of DDA liposomes. Thermal analyses demonstrated that MMG-1 was incorporated into the DDA lipid bilayers, and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed that liposomes were formed. The particles had a polydisperse size distribution and an average diameter of approximately 400 nm. Evaluation of the colloidal stability indicated that at least 18 mol% MMG-1 was required to stabilize the DDA liposomes as the average particle size remained constant during storage for 6 months. The improved colloidal stability is most likely caused by increased hydration of the lipid bilayer. This was demonstrated by studying Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers of DDA and MMG-1 which revealed an increased surface pressure in the presence of high concentrations of MMG-1 when the DDA/MMG-1 monolayers were fully compressed, indicating an increased interaction with water due to enhanced hydration of the lipid head groups. Finally, immunization of mice with the tuberculosis fusion antigen Ag85B-ESAT-6 and DDA/MMG-1 liposomes induced a strong cell-mediated immune response characterized by a mixed Th1/Th17 profile and secretion of IgG1 and IgG2c antibodies. The Th1/Th17-biased immunostimulatory effect was increased in an MMG-1 concentration-dependent manner with maximal observed effect at 31 mol% MMG-1. Thus, incorporation of 31 mol% MMG-1 into DDA liposomes results in an adjuvant system with favorable physical as well as immunological properties. 相似文献

Purpose
Rapid premature release of lipophilic drugs from liposomal lipid bilayer to plasma proteins and biological membranes is a challenge for targeted drug delivery. The purpose of this study is to reduce premature release of lipophilic short-chain ceramides by encapsulating ceramides into liposomal aqueous interior with the aid of poly (lactic-coglycolicacid) (PLGA).Methods
BODIPY FL labeled ceramide (FL-ceramide) and BODIPY-TR labeled ceramide (TR-ceramide) were encapsulated into carboxy-terminated PLGA nanoparticles. The negatively charged PLGA nanoparticles were then encapsulated into cationic liposomes to obtain PLGA/liposome hybrids. As a control, FL-ceramide and/or TR ceramide co-loaded liposomes without PLGA were prepared. The release of ceramides from PLGA/liposome hybrids and liposomes in rat plasma, cultured MDA-MB-231 cells, and rat blood circulation was compared using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between FL-ceramide (donor) and TR-ceramide (acceptor).Results
FRET analysis showed that FL-ceramide and TR-ceramide in liposomal lipid bilayer were rapidly released during incubation with rat plasma. In contrast, the FL-ceramide and TR-ceramide in PLGA/liposome hybrids showed extended release. FRET images of cells revealed that ceramides in liposomal bilayer were rapidly transferred to cell membranes. In contrast, ceramides in PLGA/liposome hybrids were internalized into cells with nanoparticles simultaneously. Upon intravenous administration to rats, ceramides encapsulated in liposomal bilayer were completely released in 2 min. In contrast, ceramides encapsulated in the PLGA core were retained in PLGA/liposome hybrids for 4 h.Conclusions
The PLGA/liposome hybrid nanoparticles reduced in vitro and in vivo premature release of ceramides and offer a viable platform for targeted delivery of lipophilic drugs. 相似文献14.

Biodegradable poly(dl-lactide-co-glycolide) microspheres were prepared using a modified double emulsion solvent evaporation method for the delivery of the subunit tuberculosis vaccine (Ag85B-ESAT-6), a fusion protein of the immunodominant antigens 6-kDa early secretory antigenic target (ESAT-6) and antigen 85B (Ag85B). Addition of the cationic lipid dimethyl dioctadecylammonium bromide (DDA) and the immunostimulatory trehalose 6,6′-dibehenate (TDB), either separately or in combination, was investigated for the effect on particle size and distribution, antigen entrapment efficiency, in vitro release profiles and in vivo performance. Optimised formulation parameters yielded microspheres within the desired sub-10 μm range (1.50 ± 0.13 μm), whilst exhibiting a high antigen entrapment efficiency (95 ± 1.2%) and prolonged release profiles. Although the microsphere formulations induced a cell-mediated immune response and raised specific antibodies after immunisation, this was inferior to the levels achieved with liposomes composed of the same adjuvants (DDA–TDB), demonstrating that liposomes are more effective vaccine delivery systems compared with microspheres. 相似文献

Protein-Silicone Oil Interactions: Comparative Effect of Nonionic Surfactants on the Interfacial Behavior of a Fusion Protein 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Purpose
To study the effect of three nonionic surfactants on the protein-silicone oil interactions.Methods
The adsorption of Tween® 80, Pluronic® F68 and Tween® 20 at the silicone oil/water interface (using shifts in frequency (ΔF) and resistance (ΔR) with quartz crystal microbalance) was compared to the adsorption at air/water interface (using surface tension). Effect of surfactants on protein adsorption to the silicone oil/water interface was studied in sequential- and co-adsorption modes. Protein-surfactant binding in the bulk was measured using dynamic surface tension method.Results
Saturation of air/water and silicone oil/water interfaces by surfactants was observed at similar bulk concentrations. ΔF due to protein adsorption to the interface decreased only when surfactant was present as a pre-adsorbed species. Insignificant differences in the dynamic surface tension values of surfactant solutions were observed in the presence of protein.Conclusions
Similar hydrophobic forces were responsible for driving the surfactant adsorption at both air/water and silicone oil/water interfaces. Surfactants were effective in reducing the protein adsorption to the silicone oil only when introduced before or along with the protein. No significant binding between the protein and surfactants was observed in the bulk. 相似文献16.
Purpose
Freeze-thaw cycling is an important processing step in the preparation of liposomes that leads to the encapsulation of drug molecules. There is considerable variability in the number of freeze-thaw cycles reported in the literature. This work is designed to aid in liposomal formulation design by gaining an insight into the drug encapsulation process and an understanding of liposome stabilization during various thawing conditions.Methods
The effects of different thawing temperatures, as well as “annealing” at subzero temperatures on a liposome formulation, are reported here.Results
Two freeze-anneal-thaw (FANNT) cycles (freezing to ?196°C, annealing at ?1.4°C for ~30 min, thawing at 65°C) resulted in the maximum predicted encapsulation efficiency without causing any significant change in particle size or zeta potential. Annealing at ?22°C was shown to be destabilizing due to limited hydration of the liposomes in the frozen state.Conclusions
It was shown that two important processes are occurring during the FANNT cycling that affect liposome encapsulation efficiency. The first is drug diffusion in the frozen state and the second is fusion/destabilization of the liposomes. This is the first report on the annealing of liposomes and understanding the mechanism of drug encapsulation using the freeze-thaw cycling method. 相似文献17.
Purpose
The combination of delivery systems like cationic liposomes and immunopotentiators such as Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands is a promising approach for rational vaccine adjuvant design. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the incorporation of the poorly soluble TLR4 agonist monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) into cationic liposomes based on dimethyldioctadecylammonium (DDA) and trehalose 6,6′-dibehenate (TDB) influenced the physicochemical and immunological properties of the liposomes. 相似文献18.
Purpose
Pulsatile delivery of proteins, in which release occurs over a short time after a period of little or no release, is desirable for many applications. This paper investigates the effect of biodegradable polymer shell thickness on pulsatile protein release from biodegradable polymer microcapsules.Methods
Using precision particle fabrication (PPF) technology, monodisperse microcapsules were fabricated encapsulating bovine serum albumin (BSA) in a liquid core surrounded by a drug-free poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) shell of uniform, controlled thickness from 14 to 19 μm.Results
When using high molecular weight PLG (Mw 88 kDa), microparticles exhibited the desired core-shell structure with high BSA loading and encapsulation efficiency (55–65%). These particles exhibited very slow release of BSA for several weeks followed by rapid release of 80–90% of the encapsulated BSA within 7 days. Importantly, with increasing shell thickness the starting time of the pulsatile release could be controlled from 25 to 35 days.Conclusions
Biodegradable polymer microcapsules with precisely controlled shell thickness provide pulsatile release with enhanced control of release profiles. 相似文献19.
Purpose
To incorporate phospho-ibuprofen (P-I), a lipophilic, water insoluble novel anti-cancer agent, into pegylated liposomes and upon formulation optimization to evaluate its antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo.Methods
P-I loaded liposomes were prepared using the thin-film hydration method, and characterized for size, zeta potential, drug content and drug release. We examined their physical stability by particle size changes; their lyophilization ability in the presence of cryoprotectants; and their antitumor activity in vitro in human cancer cell lines and in vivo in a xenograft murine model.Results
P-I was successfully loaded into liposomes consisting of soy-PC and PEG2000-PE. These liposomes were <150?nm in diameter; exhibited prolonged stability in suspension and can be lyophilized using sucrose as cryoprotectant. P-I liposomes inhibited the growth of human cancer cell lines in vitro and in vivo of xenograft in nude mice to a greater extent than free P-I.Conclusions
High levels of P-I can be incorporated into liposomes which can be lyophilized in the presence of sucrose and showed good stability upon storage. Moreover, these drug-incorporating liposomes were capable of inhibiting the growth of xenografted tumors in mice more effectively than free P-I. These results justify further development of the P-I liposomes. 相似文献20.
