A simple and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed to determine residual Pluronic F-68 (PF-68) in in-process samples of monoclonal antibody (MAb) preparations. The method permits the direct injection of proteinaceous samples after simple sample dilution and is able to quantitate as low as 50 mg/L of PF-68 in the presence of up to approximately 30 g/L of protein. The PF-68 molecule was separated on a restricted access reversed phase column using a step gradient and then measured by an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD). The method was successfully applied to demonstrate PF-68 clearance in MAb purification processes. A modified colorimetric method using liquid-liquid extraction and cobalt thiocyanate to derivatize PF-68 is also described. The results obtained by both the HPLC and colorimetric methods were compared. In addition to its ease of use and simplicity, the HPLC method had better accuracy and higher throughput than the colorimetric method.

The current research discusses polymer conjugation, formulation development, and evaluation of sorafenib-loaded polymeric nanomicelles of conjugated soluplus (solu-tin) and polymeric mixed nanomicelles of conjugated soluplus (solu-tin) with conjugated poloxamer 188 (polo-tin) for site-specific posterior segment delivery to the retina in managing retinoblastoma. Firstly, the soluplus and poloxamer 188 were conjugated with biotin by Fischer esterification reaction and evaluated by FTIR and H NMR for confirmation of covalent bond formation involving the carboxyl group of biotin and hydroxyl group of polymers. Secondly, the sorafenib-loaded solu-tin nanomicelles and mixed nanomicelles of solu-tin with polo-tin were formulated by the thin film hydration method.

A key characteristic of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is cytokine-enriched exudate and a "reactive oxygen species (ROS) storm" generated from the inflammatory cascade, resulting in demyelination of the sensory root of the trigeminal nerve, tissue swelling, and intense electric shock-like pain. The clinically approved drug carbamazepine (CBZ) is capable of inhibiting pain, reducing inflammatory factors, and alleviating oxidative stress, but its clinical application is restricted by its systemic toxicity. Herein, we developed an exudate-absorbing hydrogel incorporating polysialic acid (PSA) and CBZ (F127@PSA@CBZ) for on-demand TN treatment.

Nanocomposites based on copolymer and clay minerals are attracting increasing attention as they are appropriate for extensive applications. In this work, we present results from an experimental study on the effects of TiO nanoparticles on a pluronic-F127/laponite water solution in the sol state. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Attenuated Total Reflection Spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) were used to characterize the systems.

The hydrolysis of polysorbate surfactants in large molecule drug product formulations caused by residual host cell proteins presents numerous stability concerns for pharmaceuticals. The fatty acids (FA) released by polysorbate hydrolysis can nucleate into particulates or challenge the conformational stability of the proteinaceous active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The loss of intact polysorbate may also leave the Drug Product (DP) vulnerable to interfacial stresses.

Background: Autologous fat transplantation is limited by the uncertainty of graft retention, impeding its application. Among the current strategies for processing lipoaspirates, high-density fat (HDF) is recommended owing to the enrichment of stem cells and washing before cotton concentration for simplicity of operation. Poloxamer 188 (P188) washing has been shown to repair the membranes of damaged cells.
