Nano based drug delivery systems: recent developments and future prospects

Recombinant DNA technology has now made it possible to produce proteins for pharmaceutical applications Consequently, proteins produced via biotechnology now comprise a significant portion of the drugs currently under development Isolation, purification, formulation, and delivery of proteins represent significant challenges to pharmaceutical scientists, as proteins possess unique chemical and physical properties These properties pose difficult stability problems A summary of both chemical and physical decomposition pathways for proteins is given Chemical instability can include proteolysis, deamidation, oxidation, racemization, and β-elimination Physical instability refers to processes such as aggregation, precipitation, denaturation, and adsorption to surfaces Current methodology to stabilize proteins is presented, including additives, excipients, chemical modification, and the use of site-directed mutagenesis to produce a more stable protein species

Protein aggregation: folding aggregates, inclusion bodies and amyloid

In 1989, Manning, Patel, and Borchardt wrote a review of protein stability (Manning et al, Pharm Res 6:903-918, 1989), which has been widely referenced ever since At the time, recombinant protein therapy was still in its infancy This review summarizes the advances that have been made since then regarding protein stabilization and formulation In addition to a discussion of the current understanding of chemical and physical instability, sections are included on stabilization in aqueous solution and the dried state, the use of chemical modification and mutagenesis to improve stability, and the interrelationship between chemical and physical instability

Advancing nanomedicines from concept to clinic requires integration of new science with traditional pharmaceutical development. The medical and commercial success of nanomedicines is greatly facilitated when those charged with developing nanomedicines are cognizant of the unique opportunities and technical challenges that these products present. These individuals must also be knowledgeable about the processes of clinical and product development, including regulatory considerations, to maximize the odds for successful product registration. This article outlines these topics with a goal to accelerate the combination of academic innovation with collaborative industrial scientists who understand pharmaceutical development and regulatory approval requirements—only together can they realize the full potential of nanomedicines for patients.

The rate-limiting step for the absorption of insulin solutions after subcutaneous injection is considered to be the dissociation of self-associated hexamers to monomers. To accelerate this absorption process, insulin analogues have been designed that possess full biological activity and yet have greatly diminished tendencies to self-associate. Sedimentation velocity and static light scattering results show that the presence of zinc and phenolic ligands (m-cresol and/or phenol) cause one such insulin analogue, LysB28ProB29-human insulin (LysPro), to associate into a hexameric complex. Most importantly, this ligand-bound hexamer retains its rapid-acting pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The dissociation of the stabilized hexameric analogue has been studied in vitro using static light scattering as well as in vivo using a female pig pharmacodynamic model. Retention of rapid time-action is hypothesized to be due to altered subunit packing within the hexamer. Evidence for modified monomer-monomer interactions has been observed in the X-ray crystal structure of a zinc LysPro hexamer (Ciszak E et al., 1995, Structure 3:615-622). The solution state behavior of LysPro, reported here, has been interpreted with respect to the crystal structure results. In addition, the phenolic ligand binding differences between LysPro and insulin have been compared using isothermal titrating calorimetry and visible absorption spectroscopy of cobalt-containing hexamers. These studies establish that rapid-acting insulin analogues of this type can be stabilized in solution via the formation of hexamer complexes with altered dissociation properties.

Physicochemical basis for the rapid time‐action of LysB28ProB29‐insulin: Dissociation of a protein‐ligand complex

A stabilized pharmaceutical composition in the form of a solution for parenteral administration of a parathyroid hormone is described wherein the therapeutically active ingredient is stabilized with a buffer and a polyol. Preferred preparations contain in an aqueous solution human PTH(1-34), mannitol, an acetate or tartrate buffering agent and m-cresol or benzyl alcohol as a preservative.
