Inhibition of Peptide Acylation in PLGA Microspheres with Water-soluble Divalent Cationic Salts

Open access

Abstract

Purpose To test the potential of water-soluble divalent cationic salts to inhibit acylation of octreotide encapsulated in poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid)-star (PLGA) microspheres.Methods The divalent cationic salts, calcium chloride and manganese chloride, previously shown to disrupt peptide sorption, were introduced in PLGA microspheres prepared by the double emulsion-solvent evaporation method. Peptide stability was monitored by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and identified by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) during microsphere degradation under physiological conditions for 4 weeks. Microsphere morphology and salt content were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), respectively.Results Addition of divalent cationic salts solely to the organic phase did not provide acylation inhibition. However, addition of the salt inhibitors to both the primary emulsion and the outer water phase resulted in improved drug and salt encapsulation efficiency as well as significantly decreased salt leaching and octreotide acylation. After 28 days, the extent of acylation inhibition afforded by divalent cations was > 58% relative to 13% for the NaCl control group.Conclusions Water-soluble divalent cationic salts represent a suitable class of stabilizer of peptide acylation in PLGA microspheres and this study provides an important formulation approach to maximize stabilizer potency.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
