The increased interest in using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) as a platform for biopharmaceuticals has led to the need new analytical techniques that can precisely assess physicochemical properties of these large and very complex drugs purpose correctly identifying quality attributes (QA). One QA, higher order structure (HOS), is unique essential establishing consistency biopharmaceutical manufacturing, detecting process-related variations from manufacturing changes comparability between...
As the number of therapeutic proteins produced by mammalian cell cultures in pharmaceutical industry continues to increase, need improve productivity and ensure consistent product quality during process development activities becomes more significant. Rational medium design is known culture performance, but an understanding nutrient consumption metabolite accumulation within required. To this end, we have developed a technique for using 1D (1)H NMR quantitate nonprotein feed components...
Fermentanomics, or a global understanding of culture state on the molecular level empowered by advanced techniques like NMR, was employed to show that model hybridoma supplied with glutamine and glucose depletes aspartate, cysteine, methionine, tryptophan, tyrosine during antibody production. Supplementation these amino acids prevents depletion improves performance. Furthermore, no significant changes were observed in distribution glycans attached IgG3 cultures supplemented specific acids,...
Ultra-rapid insulin formulations control postprandial hyperglycemia; however, inadequate understanding of injection site absorption mechanisms is limiting further advancement.

The pharmacokinetics and metabolism of anacetrapib (MK-0859), a novel cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitor, were examined in rats rhesus monkeys. Anacetrapib exhibited low clearance both species moderate oral bioavailability ∼38% ∼13% area under the plasma concentration-time curve increased less than dose-proportional manner over an dose range 1 to 500 mg/kg. After administration [<sup>14</sup>C]anacetrapib at 10 mg/kg, ∼80 90% radioactive was recovered 48 h postdose from monkeys,...
In our previously published work, we reported rapid polysorbate 80 (PS80) oxidation in a histidine buffer after brief exposure to stainless steel and the ability of citrate EDTA prevent this oxidation. The focus current study was mechanistically understand PS80 by studying impacts temperature, light, role EDTA. Additionally, studied three different systems: histidine, citrate, phosphate. When PS80-containing buffers glass containers were exposed elevated temperature 50°C, no observed either...
In high-throughput scenarios, a large number of similar NMR spectra from single study need to be analyzed. The complexity the data required use spectral databases characterize resonances interest and extract quantitative information. recently reported CRAFT (Complete Reduction Amplitude Frequency Table) technique, based on Bayesian analysis approach, converts time-domain FID frequency-amplitude table in robust, automated, time-efficient fashion. We report application technique extraction...

A structure-activity relationship study of the imidazolyl-β-tetrahydrocarboline series identified MK-4256 as a potent, selective SSTR3 antagonist, which demonstrated superior efficacy in mouse oGTT model. reduced glucose excursion dose-dependent fashion with maximal achieved at doses low 0.03 mg/kg po. As compared glipizide, showed minimal hypoglycemia risk mice.
CRISIS (Compensation of Refocusing Inefficiency with Synchronized Inversion Sweep) is a powerful technique for obtaining multiplicity-edited HSQC spectra without compromising sensitivity. However, the stringent requirement duration waveforms makes them unsuitable other functions, such as band selection or IMPRESS (IMProved REsolution using Symmetrically Shifted pulses). We report here modified CRISIS-gHSQC pulse sequence employing time-reversed 13C π/2 EBURP-2 pulses. This IC-bs-gHSQC...
1-{4-[(4-Phenyl-5-trifluoromethyl-2-thienyl)methoxy]benzyl}azetidine-3-carboxylic acid (MRL-A) is a potent sphingosine-1-phosphate-1 receptor agonist, with potential application as an immunosuppressant in organ transplantation or for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. When administered orally to rats, radiolabeled MRL-A was found undergo metabolism several reactive intermediates, and this study, we have investigated its protein modification vivo vitro. irreversibly modified liver kidney...

We have investigated the prospect of identifying organic reaction products directly from separated thin-layer chromatography (TLC) spots with high-resolution magic-angle spinning (HRMAS) NMR. The concept is to use TLC for NMR analysis so that spectra can be obtained before worked up, but without having elute product stationary phase. Thus, spot scraped plate, transferred an HRMAS sample rotor, and suspended a deuterated solvent. Herein, we describe effects phase present during acquisition....
