Dedicated to

Better Health

We partner with

excellence to improve

therapies for people with

serious diseases

DDF Summit 2019

Formulation of biologics drugs is not a trivial task

Common challenges

Chemical

degradation

Oxidation

Deamidation

Truncation/degradation

Hydrolysis

.

Physical

degradation

Aggregation/fibrillation

Adsorption/depletion

Unfolding

Solubility/precipitation

~5-15% of all formulae require

“advanced”

Properties and benefits of human albuminA multi-functional excipient

Albumedix recombinant human albumin - Recombumin®

Constitutes 60% of total plasma proteins

• 35-45g/L

• Increases colloidal stability of blood

Highly charged and soluble

• Net negative charge at neutral pH

• Up to 250 g/L in commercial products

High physical stability

• 17 disulphide bridges

• Stable to adverse pH and temperature conditions

Multiple hydrophobic binding sites

• Transport of heavy metals, fatty acids, toxins, hormones

• Molecular chaperone

Low immunogenicity

• Long history of safe useKnown to the human body, not a foreign compound

Support solubility

Stabiliser & Aggregation Inhibitor

Could Scavenge hydrophobic impurities

Supports chemical and structural stability

Prevents

surface - induced

aggregation

Reduces

oxidation

Minimises surface

desorption and

denaturation

Prevents

stress - induced

aggregation

Prevents

self association

Human serum albumin stabilisation against

aggregation

Mechanisms

• Multifunctional excipient

• Inhibition of aggregation across multiple

stress conditions

• Possibility to bring valuable but unstable drug

candidates to market

Dependence from buffers,

buffer components and

endogenous ligand

Glucagon

Model peptide

Commercial formulation (Recombinant)

• Lyophilized white powder

• The reconstituted solution contains glucagon as

hydrochloride salt at 1 mg/mL (1 unit/mL)

• pH 2.5-3.5 after reconstitution - to be

administered immediately after reconstitution!

Non-Commercial Glucagon (Synthesized)

• Effect of synthesis impurities on fibrillation kinetics (*)

(*) N- and C-Terminal Hydrophobic Patches Are Involved in Fibrillation of Glucagon. Jesper

Søndergaard Pedersen, Dancho Dikov, and, and Daniel Erik Otzen, Biochemistry 2006 45 (48), 14503-14512

• Approved in 1960

• WHO list of essential medicines

• Hormone: increase blood sugar

levers in hypoglycaemia.

Characteristics:

• 29 amino acid (3.5 kDa)

• Extremely poor aqueous stability: soluble at pH > 9 or pH < 3

• Well characterized and known difficult peptide (poorly

soluble, physically and chemically unstable)

• Glucagon at pH 2.5 → random coil conformation, 15% helix

at the C-Terminal end.
