The process of hydrocortisone release from the nonionic polymer--methylcellulose hydrogels with the addition of 1% and 3% ethoxylated sorbitan alkanoate: polysorbate 20 or polysorbate 80, in the presence of 1,2-propylene glycol or PEG 200 has two stages. In the first stage the release rates are higher in comparison with the second stage. Concerning the hydrogel as a two-compartment system with micellas of polysorbates, the release rates of the first stage are in the range 4.27 x 10(-4)-6.23 x 10(-4) h-1 and in the second stage are in the range 8.29 x 10(-6)-1.16 x 10(-5) h-1 what can be affected by HLB of mentioned polysorbates.

Polysorbates, in particular polysorbate (PS) 20 and 80, are the most commonly used surfactants for stabilising biotherapeutics produced by biotechnological processes. PSs are derived from ethoxylated sorbitan (a derivative of sorbitol) esterified with fatty acids of varying chain length and degree of saturation. In the past, these surfactants have been reported to have specific liabilities.

Excipients are included within protein biotherapeutic solution formulations to improve colloidal and conformational stability but are generally not designed for the specific purpose of preventing aggregation and improving cryoprotection in solution. In this work, we have explored the relationship between the structure and antiaggregation activity of excipients by utilizing coarse-grained molecular dynamics modeling of protein-excipient interaction. We have studied human serum albumin as a model protein, and we report the interaction of 41 excipients (polysorbates, fatty alcohol ethoxylates, fatty acid ethoxylates, phospholipids, glucosides, amino acids, and others) in terms of the reduction of solvent accessible surface area of aggregation-prone regions, proposed as a mechanism of aggregation prevention.

Lipid-based nanoparticles are one of the most promising encapsulation technologies in the field of nanotechnology, and solid lipid nanoparticles were the first generation of such structures. The second generation of lipid nanostructures is the nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), which are composed of lipid materials with different melting points (MP). High pressure homogenization (HPH) is one of the main methods used on an industrial scale to produce NLC, and the process conditions affect the characteristics and physical stability of the produced NLC.

Surfactants are used to stabilize biologics. Particularly, polysorbates (Tween® 20 and Tween® 80) dominate the group of surfactants in protein and especially antibody drug products. Since decades drug developers rely on the ethoxylated sorbitan fatty acid ester mixtures to stabilize sensitive molecules such as proteins.

The effect of adding ethoxylated sorbitan ester surfactants (Tweens®) to poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate-based monolithic recipes was investigated. Five different Tweens® have been evaluated to investigate the exact role of non-ionic surfactants in poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate-based monolith preparations. These monoliths were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and nitrogen physisorption analysis.
