A Manufacturing Strategy Utilizing a Continuous-Mode Reactor toward Homogeneous PEGylated Bioconjugate Production
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Protein PEGylation is a traditional bioconjugation technology that enhances the therapeutic efficacy and in vivo half-life of proteins by the formation of covalent bonds with highly activated ester group linked polyethylene glycol (PEG). However, the high reactivity of these reagents induces a random reaction with lysine residues on the protein surface, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture of PEGylated proteins. Moreover, the traditional batch-mode reaction has risks relating to scalability and aggregation. To overcome these risks of traditional batch-mode PEGylation, a manufacturing strategy utilizing structural analysis and a continuous-flow-mode reaction was examined. A solvent exposure analysis revealed the most reactive lysine of a protein, and the continuous-flow mode modified this lysine to achieve the mono-PEGylation of two different proteins within 2 seconds. This ultrarapid modification reaction can be applied to the gram-scale manufacturing of PEGylated bioconjugates without generating aggregates. A similar trend of the exposure level of protein lysine and mono-selectivity performed by continuous-flow PEGylation was observed, which indicated that this manufacturing strategy has the potential to be applied to the production of a wide variety of bioconjugates.

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.
