Surface Composition and Formulation Heterogeneity of Protein Solids Produced by Spray Drying
Tóm tắt
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of saccharide-containing excipients on the surface composition of spray-dried protein formulations and their matrix heterogeneity. Spray-dried formulations of myoglobin or bovine serum albumin (BSA) were prepared without excipient or with sucrose, trehalose, or dextrans. Samples were characterized by solid-state Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ssFTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Protein surface coverage was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), while conformational differences were determined by solid-state hydrogen/deuterium exchange with mass spectrometry (ssHDX-MS). Structural differences were exhibited with the inclusion of different excipients, with dextran formulations indicating perturbation of secondary structure. XPS indicated sucrose and trehalose reduced protein surface concentration better than dextran-containing formulations. Using ssHDX-MS, the amount of deuterium incorporation and populations present were the largest in the samples processed with dextrans. Linear correlation was found between protein surface coverage and ssHDX-MS peak area (R2 = 0.853) for all formulations with saccharide-containing excipients. Lower molecular weight species of saccharides tend to enrich the particle surface and reduce protein concentration at the air-liquid interface, resulting in reduced population heterogeneity and improved physical stability, as identified by ssHDX-MS.
