Article Abstract
Effects of sterilization by electron beam (E-BEAM) on paclitaxel (1) mixed with poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) in reservoirs of COSTAR Stents are examined by using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) techniques with information-dependent acquisition (IDA). Numerous degradation products of 1 are formed in a β-radiation dose-dependent manner to give plethora of low-level degradants. This behavior, together with multiple interferences from PLG-related compounds, creates considerable challenges for analysis of the drug/PLG mixtures. IDA methods with different survey scans are proven to be very efficient in elucidating degradation pathways and in identifying numerous products. Combined LC-MS-MS results from analysis of sterilized drug substance and stents indicate that water addition and oxidative processes together with the isomerization are largely responsible for degradation of 1 under E-BEAM sterilization conditions used.

Introduction: Corneal lenticules can be utilized as an additive material for stromal keratophakia. However, following extraction, they must be reimplanted almost immediately or cryopreserved in lenticule banks. Electron-beam (E-beam) irradiated corneas permit room-temperature storage for up to 2 years, enabling keratophakia to be performed on demand.

Acellular porcine cornea (APC) has been used in corneal transplantation and treatment of the corneal diseases. Sterilization is a key step before the application of graft, and irradiation is one of the most commonly used methods. In this paper, APC was prepared by the physical freeze-thawing combined with biological enzymes, and the effects of the electron beam (E-beam) and cobalt 60 (Co-γ) at the dose of 15 kGy on the physicochemical properties, structure, immunogenicity, and biocompatibility of the APC were investigated.

Herein, three different recipes of multi-component hydrogels were synthesized by e-beam irradiation. These hydrogels were obtained from aqueous polymer mixtures in which different proportions of bovine collagen gel, sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), poly(vinylpyrrolidone), chitosan, and poly(ethylene oxide) were used. The cross-linking reaction was carried out exclusively by e-beam cross-linking at 25 kGy, a dose of irradiation sufficient both to complete the cross-linking reaction and effective for hydrogel sterilization.

The aim of our study was to describe the impact of collagen in the gel and dry state to various doses of electron beam radiation (1, 10 and 25 kGy) which are using for food processing and sterilization. The changes in the chemical compositions (water, amino acids, lipids, glycosaminoglycans) were analyzed and the changes in the structure (triple-helix or β-sheet, the integrity of the collagen) were assessed. Subsequently, the impact of the applied doses on the mechanical properties, stability in the enzymatic environment, swelling and morphology were determined.
