Accelerated Storage for Shelf-Life Prediction of Lyophiles: Temperature Dependence of Degradation of Amorphous Small Molecular Weight Drugs and Proteins. J Pharm Sci 2023; 112:1509-1522. [PMID: 36796635 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2023.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023]
Abstract
Prediction of lyophilized product shelf-life using accelerated stability data requires understanding the temperature dependence of the degradation rate. Despite the abundance of published studies on stability of freeze-dried formulations and other amorphous materials, there are no definitive conclusions on the type of pattern one can expect for the temperature dependence of degradation. This lack of consensus represents a significant gap which may impact development and regulatory acceptance of freeze-dried pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals. Review of the literature demonstrates that the temperature dependence of degradation rate constants in lyophiles can be represented by the Arrhenius equation in most cases. In some instances there is a break in the Arrhenius plot around the glass transition temperature or a related characteristic temperature. The majority of the activation energies (Ea), which are reported for various degradation pathways in lyophiles, falls in the range of 8 to 25 kcal/mol. The degradation Ea values for lyophiles are compared with the Ea for relaxation processes and diffusion in glasses, as wells as solution chemical reactions. Collectively, analysis of the literature demonstrates that the Arrhenius equation represents a reasonable empirical tool for analysis, presentation, and extrapolation of stability data for lyophiles, provided that specific conditions are met.

Abstract
Even though dried sperm is not viable, it can be used for fertilization as long as its chromatin remains intact. In this study, we investigated drying- and temperature-induced conformational changes of nucleic acids and stallion sperm chromatin. Sperm was diluted in preservation formulations with and without sugar/albumin and subjected to convective drying at elevated temperatures on glass substrates. Accumulation of reactive oxygen species was studied during storage at different temperatures, and the sperm chromatin structure assay was used to assess DNA damage. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to identify dehydration and storage induced conformational changes in isolated DNA and sperm chromatin. Furthermore, hydrogen bonding in the preservation solutions associated with storage stability were investigated. Reactive oxygen species and DNA damage in dried sperm samples were found to accumulate with increasing storage temperature and storage duration. Non-reducing disaccharides (i.e., trehalose, sucrose) and albumin counteracted oxidative stress and preserved sperm chromatin during dried storage, whereas glucose increased DNA damage during storage. When sperm was dried in the presence of trehalose and albumin, no spectral changes were detected during storage at refrigeration temperatures, whereas under accelerated aging conditions, i.e., storage at 37 °C, spectral changes were detected indicating alterations in sperm chromatin structure.

Abstract
Lyophilization of nanoparticle (NP) suspensions is a promising technology to improve stability, especially during long-term storage, and offers new routes of administration in solid state. Although considered as a gentle drying process, freeze-drying is also known to cause several stresses leading to physical instability, e.g. aggregation, fusion, or content leakage. NPs are heterogeneous regarding their physico-chemical properties which renders them different in their sensitivity to lyophilization stress and upon storage. But still basic concepts can be deducted. We summarize basic colloidal stabilization mechanisms of NPs in the liquid and the dried state. Furthermore, we give information about stresses occurring during the freezing and the drying step of lyophilization. Subsequently, we review the most commonly investigated NP types including lipophilic, polymeric, or vesicular NPs regarding their particle properties, stabilization mechanisms in the liquid state, and important freeze-drying process, formulation and storage strategies. Finally, practical advice is provided to facilitate purposeful formulation and process development to achieve NP lyophilizates with high colloidal stability.

Abstract
Many pharmaceuticals must be administered intravenously due to their poor oral bioavailability. In addition to issues associated with sterility and inconvenience, the cost of repeated infusion over a 6-week course of therapy costs the health care system tens of billions of dollars per year. Attempts to improve oral bioavailability have traditionally focused on enhancing drug solubility and membrane permeability, and the use of synthetic nanoparticles has also been investigated. As an alternative strategy, some recent reports have clearly demonstrated that exosomes from cow milk are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract in humans and could potentially be used for oral delivery of drugs that are traditionally administered intravenously. Our previous work has shown that antibodies are present in exosome preparations, and the current work with milk exosomes suggests that absorption from the gastrointestinal tract occurs via the "neonatal" Fc receptor, FcRn. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that milk exosomes are absorbed from the gut as intact particles that can be modified with ligands to promote retention in target tissues.

Abstract
GEN-1 is a gene-based immunotherapy, comprising a human IL-12 gene expression plasmid and a synthetic plasmid delivery system, delivered intraperitoneally (ip.) to produce local and persistent levels of a pleiotropic immunocytokine, IL-12, at the tumor site in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The goal of local and persistent IL-12 delivery is to remodel the highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment to favor immune stimulation while avoiding serious systemic toxicities, a major limitation of recombinant IL-12 therapy. Safe and sustained local production of IL-12 and related immunocytokines at the tumor site could produce potentially more favorable immunological changes in the tumor microenvironment and antitumor responses than a bolus systemic delivery of recombinant IL-12. Treatment safety, clinical benefits and biological activity of GEN-1 ip. in patients with ovarian cancer and in representative animal models are described.

Abstract
Conventional storage of blood-derived fractions relies on cold. However, lately, ambient temperature preservation has been evaluated by several independent institutions that see economic and logistic advantages in getting rid of the cold chain. Here we validated a novel procedure for ambient temperature preservation of DNA in white blood cell and buffy coat lysates based on the confinement of the desiccated biospecimens under anoxic and anhydrous atmosphere in original hermetic minicapsules. For this validation we stored encapsulated samples either at ambient temperature or at several elevated temperatures to accelerate aging. We found that DNA extracted from stored samples was of good quality with a yield of extraction as expected. Degradation rates were estimated from the average fragment size of denatured DNA run on agarose gels and from qPCR reactions. At ambient temperature, these rates were too low to be measured but the degradation rate dependence on temperature followed Arrhenius’ law, making it possible to extrapolate degradation rates at 25°C. According to these values, the DNA stored in the encapsulated blood products would remain larger than 20 kb after one century at ambient temperature. At last, qPCR experiments demonstrated the compatibility of extracted DNA with routine DNA downstream analyses. Altogether, these results showed that this novel storage method provides an adequate environment for ambient temperature long term storage of high molecular weight DNA in dehydrated lysates of white blood cells and buffy coats.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate preservation of biomolecular structures, particularly DNA, in freeze-dried fibroblasts, after loading with trehalose via freezing-induced uptake. Cells were freeze-dried with trehalose alone or in a mixture of albumin and trehalose. Albumin was added to increase the glass transition temperature and storage stability. No viable cells were recovered after freeze-drying and rehydration. FTIR studies showed that membrane phase behavior of freeze-dried cells resembles that of fresh cells. However, one day after rehydration membrane phase separation was observed, irrespective of the presence or absence of trehalose during freeze-drying. Freeze-drying did not affect the overall protein secondary structure. Analysis of DNA damage via single cell gel electrophoresis (‘comet assay’) showed that DNA damage progressively increased with storage duration and temperature. DNA damage was prevented during storage at 4 °C. It is shown that trehalose reduces DNA damage during storage, whereas addition of albumin did not seem to have an additional protective effect on storage stability (i.e. DNA integrity) despite the fact that albumin increased the glass transition temperature. Taken together, DNA in freeze-dried somatic cells can be preserved using trehalose as protectant and storage at or below 4 °C.

Abstract
Poorly water-soluble drugs offer challenges in developing a formulation product with adequate bioavailability. This study took advantage of the features of nanocrystals and direct compression technologies to develop a novel solid self-nanodispersion delivery system for andrographolide (Andro) in order to increase its dissolution rate for enhancing bioavailability. Andro nanosuspensions (Andro-NS) with a particle size of about 500 nm were prepared by homogenization technology and further converted into dried nanocrystal particles (Andro-NP) via spray-drying. The solid self-nanodispersion delivery system (Andro-SNDS)-loaded Andro-NP was prepared via direct compression technology. The DSC and PXRD results demonstrated that the Andro nanocrystals retained its original crystallinity. The dissolution of the Andro-SNDS formulation was 85.87% in pure water over 30 min, better than those of the coarse Andro and physical mixture of Andro and stabilizer. And the C max (299.32 ± 78.54 ng/mL) and AUC0-∞ (4440.55 ± 764.13 mg/L · h) of the Andro-SNDS formulation were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than those of the crude Andro (77.52 ± 31.73 ng/mL and 1437.79 ± 354.25 mg/L · h). The AUC of the Andro-SNDS was 3.09 times as high as that of the crude Andro. This study illustrated a novel approach to combine the features of nanocrystals and composite particles used to improve oral bioavailability of poorly soluble drug.

Abstract
An influenza pandemic remains a major public health concern. A key strategy to prevent a pandemic is to stockpile and pre-position stable influenza vaccine to allow rapid deployment in response to an outbreak. However, most influenza vaccines today are formulated as liquids that are stable only within a temperature range of 2°C to 8°C and require use of a cold chain, making vaccine transportation, distribution, and storage complicated and expensive, particularly for developing countries. To support the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza preparedness in the United States and internationally, we developed two lead dry formulations of stable H1N1 influenza subunit vaccines using freeze-drying technology. The stable formulations contain an excipient combination of a disaccharide, such as sucrose or trehalose, and glycine, in addition to a surfactant and phosphate buffer. The freeze-dried vaccines were shown to be safe and remained immunogenic in an in vivo study in mice. Moreover, the lead formulations demonstrated no significant loss of activity after 40 months at storage temperatures of 25°C and 37°C. This stability can be particularly attractive as it could eliminate the need to use a cold chain for vaccine deployment and facilitate integration of vaccine distribution with general drug distribution where appropriate. These freeze-dried thermostable influenza subunit vaccines could also reduce the frequency of vaccine stockpile turnover, offering a cost-effective option for pandemic preparedness.

Abstract
In the last decades, the encapsulation of antibiotics into nanoparticulate carriers has gained increasing attention for the treatment of infectious diseases. Sodium colistimethate-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (Colist-SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (Colist-NLCs) were designed aiming to treat the pulmonary infection associated to cystic fibrosis patients. The nanoparticles were freeze-dried using trehalose as cryoprotectant. The stability of both nanoparticles was analysed over one year according to the International Conference of Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against clinically isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains and by studying their physico-chemical characteristics. The results showed that Colist-SLNs lost their antimicrobial activity at the third month; on the contrary, the antibacterial activity of Colist-NLCs was maintained throughout the study within an adequate range (MIC ≤16 μg/mL). In addition, Colist-NLCs exhibited suitable physico-chemical properties at 5 °C and 25 °C/60% relative humidity over one year. Altogether, Colist-NLCs proved to have better stability than Colist-SLNs.

Abstract
In prospect of developing an oral dosage form of Infliximab, for treatment of Crohn’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis, freeze-drying (vial vs Lyoguard trays) and spray-drying were investigated as production method for stable powders. Dextran and inulin were used in combination with sucrose as stabilizing excipients. The drying processes did not affect Infliximab in these formulations, i.e. both the physical integrity and biological activity (TNF binding) were retained. Accelerated stability studies (1 month at 60°C) showed that the TNF binding ability of Infliximab was conserved in the freeze-dried formulations, whereas the liquid counterpart lost all TNF binding. After thermal treatment, the dried formulations showed some chemical modification of the IgG in the dextran-sucrose formulation, probably due to Maillard reaction products. This study indicates that, with the appropriate formulation, both spray-drying and freeze-drying may be useful for (bulk) powder production of Infliximab.

Abstract
Because aqueous liposomal formulations containing multiply unsaturated lipids are susceptible to chemical degradation, these formulations are often lyophilized. Despite their limited chemical stability, interest in the use of multiply unsaturated lipids to promote intracellular delivery has increased considerably in recent years. The goal of the current study was to examine the long-term storage stability of lyophilized formulations containing lipids with increasing levels of unsaturation, and various strategies that can be employed to improve stability. Aqueous lipid-trehalose formulations containing 1,2-dilinolenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DLPC), 1,2-dilinoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DLinPC), or 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) were lyophilized and stored at temperatures ranging from 4°C to 60°C. We observed that the lipid degradation rate increased as the storage temperature and unsaturation level were increased. Even the cleanest sugars, which are available commercially, contain iron contaminants, and it was observed that the chelation of these iron contaminants significantly improved the stability of DLPC during storage. However, the glass transition temperature of the sugar that was included in the formulation, the reduction of the oxygen in the aqueous sample prior to lyophilization, the inclusion of helper lipids (i.e., cholesterol), and the rate of freezing did not significantly improve stability.

Abstract
According to estimates issued by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of six Americans will get sick during this year due to consumption of contaminated products and there will be 50,000 related hospitalizations. To control and treat the responsible foodborne diseases, rapid and accurate detection of pathogens is extremely important. A portable device capable of performing nucleic acid amplification will enable the effective detection of infectious agents in multiple settings, leading to better enforcement of food safety regulations. This work demonstrates the multiplexed detection of food pathogens through loop-mediated isothermal amplification on a silicon chip. Silane passivation is used to prevent the adsorption of the polymerase on silicon oxide, which can severely inhibit nucleic acid amplification. We demonstrate the multiplexed screening of virulence genes of Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella by dehydrating the corresponding primers in oxidized silicon wells. Droplets of 30 nL with reagents for nucleic acid amplification and lysate of suspected pathogens are arrayed on micro-machined wells with an automated microinjection system. We show that dehydrated primers re-suspend when other reagents are microinjected, and the resulting mix can be used to specifically amplify the targeted gene. Results of characterization experiments demonstrate sensitivity down to a few templates per reaction, specificity that enables multiplexed screening, and robustness that allows amplification without DNA extraction.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) regulation is a novel approach to manipulating the fate of mesenchymal stem cells, but an easy, safe, and highly efficient method of transfection is required. In this study, we developed an miRNA reverse transfection formulation by lyophilizing Lipofectamine 2000-miRNA lipoplexes on a tissue culture plate. The lipoplexes can be immobilized on a tissue culture plate with an intact pseudospherical structure and lyophilization without any lyoprotectant. In this study, reverse transfection resulted in highly efficient cellular uptake of miRNA and enabled significant manipulation of the intracellular target miRNA level. Reverse transfection formulations containing Lipofectamine 2000 1 μL per well generated much higher transfection efficiency without obvious cytotoxicity compared with conventional and other transfection methods. Further, the transfection efficiency of the reverse transfection formulations did not deteriorate during 90 days of storage at 4°C and -20°C. We then assessed the efficiency of the miRNA reverse transfection formulation in promoting osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. We found that transfection with anti-miR-138 and miR-148b was efficient for enhancing osteogenic differentiation, as indicated by enhanced osteogenesis-related gene expression, amount of alkaline phosphatase present, production of collagen, and matrix mineralization. Overall, the miRNA reverse transfection formulation developed in this study is a promising approach for miRNA transfection which can control stem cell fate and is suitable for loading miRNAs onto various biomaterials.

Abstract
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a key mediator in reverse cholesterol transport and is involved in a mechanism known as 'selective lipid uptake', a process mediated by scavenger receptor B type I (SR‑BI), which is a HDL receptor. The aim of the present study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of the SR‑BI gene when delivered by combining cationic liposomal microbubbles (CLMs) and ultrasound (US) in hypercholesterolemic rats. Hypercholesterolemia was induced by administration of excessive doses of vitamin D3 and cholesterol in rats. The CLMs consisted of perfluoropropane gas encapsulated in a phospholipid shell using the sonication‑lyophilization method. The SR‑BI gene, mixed with the self‑made microbubbles, was transfected into hypercholesterolemic rat arteries using therapeutic US. SR‑BI protein expression was determined by western blot analysis 2 days post-transfection. Two weeks after transfection, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and HDL serum concentrations were measured. Transfection efficiency of the SR‑BI gene in the SR‑BI + US/CLM group increased 6‑7‑fold compared with the SR‑BI group. Two weeks after transfection, plasma lipid levels in treated hypercholesterolemic rats were observed to be significantly reduced compared with rats that did not receive treatment. However, no significant change was observed in the SR‑BI group compared with that in the SR‑BI + US/CLM group. Results of the present study indicate that the combination of US and CLMs loaded with the SR‑BI gene may exert a protective role in hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to establish a freeze-drying process for melatonin-loaded lecithin/chitosan nanoparticles (NPs) to preserve their chemical and physical stability for a longer time period that what is possible in an aqueous suspension. Glucose and trehalose were investigated as potential excipients during freeze-drying of NP suspensions. Lecithin/chitosan NPs were characterised by mean diameter and zeta potential, ranging between 117.4 and 328.5 nm and 6.7 and 30.2 mV, respectively, depending on the lecithin type and chitosan content in the preparation. Melatonin loadings were up to 7.1%. For all lecithin/chitosan NPs, no notable differences in the mean particle size, size distribution, zeta potential or melatonin content were observed before or immediately after the lyophilisation process or after 7 months of storage at 4 °C. The residual moisture contents of lyophilisates with glucose and trehalose immediately after the lyophilisation process varied between 4.0-4.8% and 2.4-3.0%, respectively. All lecithin/chitosan NPs had a fully amorphous nature after the freeze-drying process, as indicated by modulated differential scanning calorimetry. NP lyophilisates with glucose had a low glass transition temperature (ca. 5 °C), confirming that lyophilisation with glucose as a cryoprotectant was not appropriate. All lyophilisates with trehalose had a glass transition temperature above the room temperature, allowing formation of the cake without a collapse of the structure, which was capable of preserving its characteristics and appearance following 7 months of storage at 4 °C.

Abstract
The goal of this study is to evaluate the stability of lyophilized siRNA formulations. The gene silencing efficiency of a stored lyophilized siRNA formulation (i.e. siRNA nanosomes) was evaluated in interferon-α (IFN-α) resistant hepatitis C virus (HCV) at different time points up to three months in an in vitro cell culture model and compared with freshly prepared siRNA formulations. Novel siRNA sequences were encapsulated within nanosize liposomes following condensation with protamine sulfate. The siRNA encapsulated nanosomes were lyophilized and stored at 4 °C for 3 months, along with liquid liposomes (L) and lyophilized liposome powder (P) which were subsequently used to prepare siRNA nanosomes (L) and siRNA nanosomes (P), respectively at different time points. Physiochemical and biological properties of all three formulations were compared at different time points up to 3 months. The particle size of the stored siRNA nanosomes (642 ± 25 nm) was considerably larger initially in comparison with the liquid liposomes (134 ± 5 nm) and lyophilized liposomes (118 ± 3). However, the particle size gradually became smaller over time (413 ± 128 nm by the third month). The zeta potential of all three formulations was initially very high (> +40 mV), followed by a gradual decrease over time. The amount of siRNA in the stored siRNA nanosomes decreased ∼18 % during the 3 month storage period (1.16 ± 0.03 nmol initially on day 1 vs. 0.95 ± 0.04 nmol after 3 months). With respect to biological potency, all three formulations were significantly effective to knock-down HCV throughout the storage time. The cell viability was well-maintained throughout this period. Thus, this study indicates that the stored lyophilized siRNA formulation is as effective as the fresh preparation and that long-term storage could be a viable option to treat deadly diseases such as cancer and viral infection.

Abstract
The development of plasmid DNA as a pharmaceutical requires that integrity (i.e., supercoil content) be monitored as part of quality control. The standard method of determining supercoil content is gel electrophoresis followed by staining and imaging, which is complicated by a variety of factors. Previously described chromatographic methods used to quantify supercoil content have had difficulty obtaining reliable separation of the different isoforms. Using ultra performance liquid chromatography, we have optimized buffer conditions, and utilized increased column temperatures in developing a method that allows accurate quantification of each isoform by ultraviolet detection. We found that increasing the column temperature to 55°C improved separation of the isoform peaks as well as increased the resolution of each peak. We demonstrate the utility of this method by quantifying supercoil content of samples subjected to sonication, acidification or lyophilization, and storage. Our results demonstrate that this method allows for a precise quantification of individual DNA isoforms within a heterogeneous sample.

Abstract
Numerous human genetic diseases are caused by mutations that give rise to aberrant alternative splicing. Recently, several of these debilitating disorders have been shown to be amenable for splice-correcting oligonucleotides (SCOs) that modify splicing patterns and restore the phenotype in experimental models. However, translational approaches are required to transform SCOs into usable drug products. In this study, we present a new cell-penetrating peptide, PepFect14 (PF14), which efficiently delivers SCOs to different cell models including HeLa pLuc705 and mdx mouse myotubes; a cell culture model of Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD). Non-covalent PF14-SCO nanocomplexes induce splice-correction at rates higher than the commercially available lipid-based vector Lipofectamine 2000 (LF2000) and remain active in the presence of serum. Furthermore, we demonstrate the feasibility of incorporating this delivery system into solid formulations that could be suitable for several therapeutic applications. Solid dispersion technique is utilized and the formed solid formulations are as active as the freshly prepared nanocomplexes in solution even when stored at an elevated temperatures for several weeks. In contrast, LF2000 drastically loses activity after being subjected to same procedure. This shows that using PF14 is a very promising translational approach for the delivery of SCOs in different pharmaceutical forms.

Abstract
Cationic polymer/DNA complexes are limited by their instability in aqueous suspensions and usually have to be freshly prepared prior to administration. Thus, the development of isotonic lyophilized polyplex formulations with long-term stability is a desirable goal. Polyplexes based on 22kDa linear polyethylenimine were prepared using a micro-mixer method. Freeze-thawing and lyophilization were performed on a pilot scale freeze-drier. Several excipients (trehalose, sucrose, lactosucrose, dextran, hydroxypropylbetadex or povidone and combinations thereof) at varying concentrations were evaluated for their stabilizing potential against freezing and dehydration induced stresses. For stability testing the lyophilized samples were stored for 6 weeks at 2-8°C, 20°C and 40°C, respectively. Polyplex samples were characterized for particle size, zeta potential, their in vitro transfection efficiency and metabolic activity in Neuro2A cells. In addition, liquid samples were investigated for turbidity and number of sub-visible particles and solid samples were analyzed for residual moisture content, glass transition temperature and sample morphology. L-histidine buffer pH 6.0 was selected as effective buffer. In isotonic formulations with 14% lactosucrose, 10% hydroxypropylbetadex/6.5% sucrose or 10% povidone/6.3% sucrose, particle size was <170nm for all formulations and did not change after storage for 6weeks at 40°C. Polyplexes formulated with lactosucrose or hydroxypropylbetadex/sucrose showed high transfection efficiencies and cellular metabolic activities. Absence of large aggregates was indicated by turbidity and subvisible particle number measurements. The current standard limits for particulate contamination for small volume parenterals were met for all formulations. All samples were amorphous with low residual moisture levels (<1.3%) and high glass transition temperatures (>90°C).

Abstract
Dry powder vaccine formulations have proved effective for induction of systemic and mucosal immune responses. Here we review the use of dry vaccines for immunization in the respiratory tract. We discuss techniques for powder formulation, manufacture, characterization and delivery in addition to methods used for evaluation of stability and safety. We review the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of dry powder vaccines as compared to liquid vaccines delivered by mucosal or parenteral routes. Included is information on mucosal adjuvants and mucoadhesives that can be used to enhance nasal or pulmonary dry vaccines. Mucosal immunization with dry powder vaccines offers the potential to provide a needle-free and cold chain-independent vaccination strategy for the induction of protective immunity against either systemic or mucosal pathogens.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study sought to determine the effects of microneedle coating formulation, drying time and storage time on antigen stability and in vivo immunogenicity of influenza microneedle vaccines. METHODS The stability of inactivated influenza virus vaccine was monitored by hemagglutination (HA) activity and virus particle aggregation as a function of storage time and temperature with or without trehalose. In vivo immunogenicity of inactivated influenza vaccines coated onto microneedles was determined in mice by virus-specific antibody titers and survival rates. RESULTS In the absence of trehalose, HA activity decreased below 10% and to almost zero after 1 h and 1 month of drying, respectively. Addition of trehalose maintained HA activity above 60% after drying and above 20% after 1 month storage at 25°C. Loss of HA activity generally correlated with increased virus particle aggregation. Administration of microneedles coated with trehalose-stabilized influenza vaccine yielded high serum IgG antibody titers even after 1 month storage, and all animals survived with minimal weight loss after lethal challenge infection. CONCLUSIONS Inactivated influenza virus vaccine coated on microneedles with trehalose significantly improved the HA activity as well as in vivo immunogenicity of the vaccine after an extended time of storage.

Abstract
Since plasmid DNA (pDNA) is unstable in solution, lyophilisation can be used to increase product shelf life. To prevent stress on pDNA molecules during lyophilisation, cryo- and lyoprotectants have to be added to the formulation. This study assessed the effect of disaccharides on naked pDNA stability after lyophilisation using accelerated stability studies. Naked pDNA was lyophilised with sucrose, trehalose, maltose or lactose in an excipient/DNA w/w ratio of 20. To one part of the vials extra residual moisture was introduced by placing the vials half opened in a 25°C/60% RH climate chamber, before placing all vials in climate chambers (25°C/60% RH and 40°C/75% RH) for stability studies. An ex vivo human skin model was used to assess the effect of disaccharides on transfection efficiency. Lyophilisation resulted in amorphous cakes for all disaccharides with a residual water content of 0.8% w/w. Storage at 40°C/75% RH resulted in decreasing supercoiled (SC) purity levels (sucrose and trehalose maintained approximately 80% SC purity), but not in physical collapse. The addition of residual moisture (values between 7.5% and 10% w/w) resulted in rapid collapse except for trehalose and decreasing SC purity for all formulations. In a separate experiment disaccharide formulation solutions show a slight but significant reduction (<3% with sucrose and maltose) in transfection efficiency when compared to pDNA dissolved in water. We demonstrate that disaccharides, like sucrose and trehalose, are effective lyoprotectants for naked pDNA.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
This study describes the preparation and pharmacokinetics of docetaxel based on freeze-dried nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs).
Methods
The docetaxel-incorporated NLCs were developed using hot high-pressure homogenisation, and lyophilised to obtain freeze-dried docetaxel NLCs. The influences of different concentrations of lipid matrices, ratio of drug to lipid, and different cryoprotectants on the characteristics of the NLCs were investigated.
Key findings
Freeze-dried docetaxel NLCs were spherical, with 5% (w/w) docetaxel loading efficiency and were stable for at least 6 months at 25°C. X-ray powder diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry analysis suggested that docetaxel was distributed in a molecular or amorphous status. In-vitro release studies showed sustained drug release, with the cumulated release rate of 13% within 24 h without burst release. The freeze-dried docetaxel NLCs also showed sustained-release properties after intravenous injection into rats. The area under the plasma–concentration time curve and mean residence time were increased 4.90 and 2.82 times compared with docetaxel solution. The concentration of docetaxel in the lungs was significantly higher in rats treated with the NLCs than in those given docetaxel solution.
Conclusions
Docetaxel NLCs have an organ-targeting effect and prolonged mean retention time and have potential for the treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
In this study, poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)-chitosan particles were investigated as an effective delivery system for small interfering RNA (siRNA) by emulsification diffusion method. The type, molecular weight and concentration of chitosan, PLGA type as well as centrifugation and freeze-drying process were amongst the investigated variables. PLGA-chitosan particles obtained were positively charged with particle size between approximately 0.4-1 microm depending on type, molecular weight and concentration of chitosan as well as type of PLGA. A better siRNA loading capacity was observed when a higher degree of 'uncapped end groups' were used. The addition of trehalose has also been shown to stabilize these particles from severe aggregation induced by freeze-drying. It was found that physical properties of PLGA-chitosan particles and their siRNA binding capacity were highly influenced by certain preparation parameters. The desired positive charge of submicron size range PLGA-chitosan particles could therefore be obtained by adjusting and optimizing these preparative and formulation parameters.

Abstract
There is currently wide interest in room temperature storage of dehydrated DNA. However, there is insufficient knowledge about its chemical and structural stability. Here, we show that solid-state DNA degradation is greatly affected by atmospheric water and oxygen at room temperature. In these conditions DNA can even be lost by aggregation. These are major concerns since laboratory plastic ware is not airtight. Chain-breaking rates measured between 70 degrees C and 140 degrees C seemed to follow Arrhenius' law. Extrapolation to 25 degrees C gave a degradation rate of about 1-40 cuts/10(5) nucleotides/century. However, these figures are to be taken as very tentative since they depend on the validity of the extrapolation and the positive or negative effect of contaminants, buffers or additives. Regarding the secondary structure, denaturation experiments showed that DNA secondary structure could be preserved or fully restored upon rehydration, except possibly for small fragments. Indeed, below about 500 bp, DNA fragments underwent a very slow evolution (almost suppressed in the presence of trehalose) which could end in an irreversible denaturation. Thus, this work validates using room temperature for storage of DNA if completely protected from water and oxygen.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of moisture content on the storage stability of freeze-dried lipoplex formulations. DC-Cholesterol: DOPE (dioleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine)/plasmid DNA lipoplexes were prepared at a 3-to-2 DC-Cholesterol(+) to DNA(-) molar ratio and lyophilized prior to storing at room temperature, 40, and 60 degrees C for 3 months. Different residual moistures (1.93%, 1.10%, 1.06%, and 0.36%) were obtained by altering the secondary drying temperatures. In addition to moisture content, lipoplex formulations were evaluated after freeze-drying and/ or storage for particle size, transfection efficiency, accumulation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), glass transition temperature, DNA supercoil content, and surface area. Lipoplex formulations stored at room temperature for 3 months maintain TBARS concentrations and supercoil contents. At higher storage temperatures, formulations possessing the highest moisture content (1.93%) maintained significantly lower TBARS concentrations and higher supercoil content than those with the lowest (0.36%) moisture content. Curiously, the intermediate moisture contents exhibited marked differences in stability despite virtually identical moisture contents. Subsequent measurements of surface area indicated that the lower stability corresponded to higher surface area in the dried cake, suggesting that there may be an interplay between water content and surface area that contributes to storage stability.

Abstract
Supercoiled DNA plasmids were exposed in the frozen state to high-energy electrons. Surviving supercoiled molecules were separated from their degradation products (e.g., open circle and linear forms) by agarose gel electrophoresis and subsequently quantified by staining and image analysis. Complex survival curves were analyzed using radiation target theory, yielding the radiation-sensitive mass of each form. One of the irradiated plasmids was transfected into cells, permitting radiation analysis of gene expression. Loss of this function was associated with a mass much smaller than the entire plasmid molecule, indicating a lack of energy transfer in amounts sufficient to cause structural damage along the DNA polynucleotide. The method of radiation target analysis can be applied to study both structure and function of DNA.

Abstract
It has been shown that degradation of lipid/DNA complexes (lipoplexes) continues in the dried state during storage. The goal of this study was to evaluate the ability of various strategies to minimize the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in lyophilized lipoplexes during storage, including metal removal from reagents, air displacement, and fortification with chelator/antioxidant agents. Formulations containing individual chelator (DTPA) and antioxidants (L-methionine or alpha-tocopherol), or in combination, were subjected to lyophilization. Accelerated storage conditions were investigated and physico-chemical characteristics and biological activity of samples were monitored at different time intervals. Generation of ROS during storage was determined by adding proxyl fluorescamine to the formulations prior to freeze-drying. Lipid peroxidation was assessed by monitoring the formation of thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBARS) and lipid hydroperoxides. We also assessed the effect of increased moisture content on the chemical and biological stability of lipoplexes containing additives. Our results show that both ROS and TBARS are generated in lyophilized cakes during storage, and that agents such as DTPA or alpha-tocopherol are efficient in protecting lipid/DNA complexes against oxidative damage in the dried state. Our experiments also indicate that higher residual moisture has a deleterious effect on the stability of lipid/DNA complexes during storage.
