Application of disaccharides alone and in combination,for the improvement of stability and particle properties of spray-freeze dried IgG

Purpose: Spray-freeze drying (SFD) is a recently applied method to develop pharmaceutical powders. This study aimed to analyze the competence of Trehalose, Mannitol, Lactose, and Sorbitol instability and aerosolization of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) via SFD.

Methods: Induced soluble aggregates were quantified at 0 and 3?months, and 45?°C using size-exclusion chromatography. Conformation and thermogravimetric assessments were done by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Laser light scattering was performed to determine the particle sizes. Aerodynamic features were characterized by twin stage impinger and scanning electron microscopy.

Results: Although sugars/polyols preferably stabilized IgG following the process, storage stabilization was achieved in Trehalose, Trehalose-Lactose, Lactose, and Trehalose-Mannitol-based powders with soluble aggregates <5%. The conformation of antibody was preserved with β sheet content from 66.28% to 76.37%. Particle sizes ranged from 5.23 to 8.12?µm. Mannitol exhibited the best aerodynamic behavior, fine particle fraction (FPF: 70%) but high degree of protein aggregation during storage.

Conclusions: SFD could favorably stabilize antibody using Trehalose and its combination with Lactose and Mannitol, and also, Lactose alone. Sorbitol disturbed IgG powder recovery. Incorporation of other types of excipient is required for efficient respiratory delivery of IgG molecules.

The gastric mucosal barrier: tight junction structure in gastritis and ulcer biopsies

Summary Tight junctions of the human gastric mucosa were examined using quantative freeze-fracture methods. Biopsies examined were from patients with gastric diseases including gastritis, ulcers, and pernicious anemia. No significant differences were seen in strand number or tight junction complex depth among the biopsies analyzed, however, anomalous tight junction structures were observed. Discontinuities in the tight junction complex and hyperplastic tight junctions (extensions of the apical tight junction strands radiating over the lateral plasma membrane) were seen. These alterations were not associated exclusively with either the diagnosis of gastritis or ulcers. However, a higher frequency of tight junction breaks was seen in stomach biopsies diagnosed as gastritis while those diagnosed as ulcers displayed a higher occurrence of hyperplastic tight junctions.

Effects of dexamethasone on the differentiation of membrane structure in cultured astrocytes.

Astrocytic processes investing vascular structures or forming the surface of mammalian brain have large numbers of orthogonally packed aggregates of intramembrane particles, termed "assemblies." Similar particle aggregates are expressed by astrocytes derived from neonatal rat forebrain in secondary culture, but they are much more uniformly distributed across the membranes of the cultured cells. Dexamethasone, a potent glucocorticoid, affects the differentiation of astrocyte membrane structure in two patterns, depending on the rate of proliferation in the culture. When confluent secondary cultures of astrocytes are exposed to 5 microM dexamethasone, the densities of assemblies increase, and in some cells approach the values present in the glial limitans in vivo. However, when rapidly proliferating astrocytes are exposed to dexamethasone during the first week of secondary culture, most of the astrocytes fail to express any assemblies. The rate of astrocyte proliferation is slowed, and a lower cell density is reached during the first 2 weeks of secondary culture in dexamethasone. The suppression of assemblies is transient: as the cultures approach confluence, the proportion of cells expressing assemblies increases to nearly control levels, and the density of assemblies increases to greater than control values in some astrocytes. Certain of the effects of dexamethasone on cultured astrocytes may have relevance for understanding the mechanism(s) of its action in treating cerebral edema.
