MAbs stability issues: risk management for sterile preparation in hospital ph...Pharmaxo
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have complex structures that are susceptible to degradation through various mechanisms. Their structures consist of primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels that give them their shape and biological functions. Common degradation pathways for mAbs include aggregation, oxidation, hydrolysis, and denaturation. Many steps involved in preparing and handling mAbs, such as temperature changes, shaking, dilution, and interaction with containers, can accelerate degradation by introducing factors like metal ions, oxygen, shear forces, and adsorption to surfaces. Care must be taken to minimize degradation risks through practices like avoiding excessive temperature changes and forces during preparation, handling, and storage.

Dr. Kumbhare Manoj R. discusses enzyme inhibition in drug discovery. There are two main approaches to drug discovery - target-based and physiology-based. For the past 20 years, the target-based approach of developing drugs that affect a specific target has been dominant. Enzymes are excellent targets for drug development due to their essential roles and the suitability of their active sites for inhibitor interactions. Many top-selling drugs are enzyme inhibitors that work through reversible or irreversible inhibition mechanisms. The development of ACE inhibitors to control hypertension is provided as an example of a successful clinical application of enzyme inhibition.
This document discusses the process of drug design and development, beginning with identifying lead compounds that can bind to protein receptors and modify their function. It then outlines the steps of target validation, high-throughput screening, lead optimization, preclinical and clinical drug development. Specific techniques discussed include structure-activity relationships (SARs) and quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) to help modify lead compounds. The document also briefly covers pharmacokinetics, the formulation of an HIV-1 protease inhibitor, and its mechanism of binding to the active site of the protease enzyme to lower viral levels.
Brentuximab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate used to treat Hodgkin lymphoma and systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma. It consists of the monoclonal antibody cAC10 linked to the microtubule inhibitor MMAE. When the antibody binds to CD30 proteins on lymphoma cells, the complex is internalized and MMAE is released, disrupting the microtubule network and causing cell death. Brentuximab vedotin allows targeted delivery of the cytotoxic agent to minimize side effects compared to conventional chemotherapy. Common side effects include neuropathy, nausea, fatigue, and low blood cell counts.
Rational drug design is a process that begins with knowledge of a biological target and aims to design small molecules that interact optimally with that target to produce a desired therapeutic effect. It involves analyzing the structures of active molecules and known targets, then designing new molecules that are predicted to specifically fit the target. This may involve modifying existing lead compounds or building new ones de novo. The goal is to develop drugs with greater potency, selectivity and fewer side effects than those found by traditional trial-and-error means. Cimetidine for reducing stomach acid is provided as an example of rational drug design, where histamine analogs were synthesized and optimized until an effective and safe product was obtained.

Effect of Chemical mutagens on biochemical growth of algaeYOGITASHARMA92
This document discusses the use of chemical mutagens to improve algal growth for biochemical production. It defines mutagenesis as an inheritable genetic change caused by mutagens, whether physical or chemical. Chemical mutagens are categorized as base analogs, chemical modification agents, and intercalating agents. Mutagenesis is used in laboratories to improve algal strains for increased productivity of metabolites. Specifically, chemical mutagenesis with ethyl methane sulfonate is commonly used to mutate algal genomes to develop strains with enhanced biomass, lipid, or pigment production. Case studies demonstrate increased astaxanthin and lipid yields in mutated algal species.
This document compares biologics and biosimilars. It notes that biologics are complex pharmaceutical compounds derived from biological sources and involve living systems in their manufacturing. Biosimilars are similar but not identical to approved biologics. They must demonstrate high similarity in safety, quality and efficacy to the reference biologic product. Clinical trials are required to approve a biosimilar and show no clinically meaningful differences compared to the reference product. The document provides examples of biologics approved for inflammatory bowel disease and discusses trials showing the efficacy of infliximab alone and in combination with other drugs for treating Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is a sensitive biochemical test that uses the principle of competitive binding between labeled and unlabeled antigens/analytes for a limited number of antibody binding sites. RIA combines the specificity of antigen-antibody reactions with the sensitivity of radioactive measurements. It involves incubating a sample containing an unknown amount of antigen with a known amount of labeled antigen and antibody. The amount of labeled antigen bound to the antibody is inversely proportional to the concentration of unlabeled antigen in the sample. By comparing results to a standard curve of known concentrations, the amount of antigen in the unknown sample can be determined with picogram-level sensitivity. RIA has applications in measuring hormones, vitamins, drugs and tumor markers.
Here are the matches between the pharmacologic terms and their definitions:
1. Efficacy - C) This is the maximal response obtainable by a drug treatment
2. Potency - E) This is the amount of drug required to produce a desired effect
3. Tolerance - A) Decreased response to the same dose of the drug.
4. Therapeutic index - D) This is the ratio of the toxic dose to the therapeutic dose
5. Intolerance - B) When the antagonist is suddenly withdrawn, severe reaction occurs in the form of rebound or withdrawal effects

Similar to Monoclonal antibodies: functional improvements at SPC shelf life limits (20)
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

3. Introduction
3
Monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics are one of the fastest
growing sectors in the pharmaceutical industry and have already
established themselves as frontline therapies in oncology.
These drugs are often assigned short shelf lives once prepared for
administration, typically 24 to 48 hours.
However, SPC’s for some of these drugs recommend they be used
immediately following preparation.
4. Aim
4
To evaluate the physical, chemical and functional stability of
several mAb therapeutics used in oncology.
- Pertuzumab
- Rituximab
- Trastuzumab
- (Infliximab)
Compare the (quality) characteristics of these drugs immediately
after preparation with those at the limit of their SPC assigned shelf
life.
5. Methods

Physical/Chemical/Functional analysis of each antibody was
performed using:
• visual inspection
• SDS-page
• pH
• SE-HPLC,
• circular dichroism (VT-CD)
• dynamic light scattering (DLS)
• LC-MS
• Flowcam imaging (particle counting)
• Functional activity (tailored assay)
Each antibody was evaluated immediately following preparation as
well as at its SPC designated shelf life.
7. Methods

‘Flowcam’ imaging (sub-visible particle counting)
micro-air bubble
silicone oil
aggregated protein
Quantification and characterisation of sub-visible particles
Flow rate: 0.15 ml/min, efficiency: 30.2%, cell: FC100 100 µm x 2000 µm
8. Methods

Functional activity – Cell based assay
7.7 Biological activity
Assessment of biological properties constitutes an essential step in establishing
understanding of the stability profile under specific conditions. The technique should be
relevant to the specific biological activity that enables the product to achieve its defined
biological effect.
14. Summary
14
- Multiple stability studies on numerous monoclonal antibodies
have been performed.
- Higher levels of sub-visible particles and lower levels of functional
activity are observed immediately following preparation, as
compared to the product at the end of SPC assigned shelf-life.
- Dilution of the drug into its ready-to-use form dramatically
changes the micro-environment around the API.
- Physical changes that occur are dynamic and will reach an
equilibrium over time. This has been observed to result in lower
particle numbers and improved functional activity.
