ABSTRACT
Poloxamer 188 (P188) was hypothesized to be a dual functional excipient, (i) a stabilizer in frozen solution to prevent ice-surface-induced protein destabilization and (ii) a bulking agent to provide elegant lyophiles. Based on X-ray diffractometry and differential scanning calorimetry, sucrose, in a concentration-dependent manner, inhibited P188 crystallization during freeze-drying, while trehalose had no such effect. The recovery of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), the model protein, was evaluated after reconstitution. While low LDH recovery (â¼60%) was observed in the lyophiles prepared with P188, the addition of sugar improved the activity recovery to >85%. The secondary structure of LDH in the freeze-dried samples was assessed using infrared spectroscopy, and only moderate structural changes were observed in the lyophiles formulated with P188 and sugar. Thus, P188 can be a promising dual functional excipient in freeze-dried protein formulations. However, P188 alone does not function as a lyoprotectant and needs to be used in combination with a sugar.
