Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose derivatives stabilize fragment antibody against aggregation in spray dried formulations at elevated temperature and resist pH changes
Eur J Pharm Biopharm. 2022 Jul 30:S0939-6411(22)00152-7. doi: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2022.07.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe ability to deliver stable and active dried protein therapeutics from biopharmaceutical drug delivery systems is critical for solid dosage formulation development. Spray dried formulations with carefully selected excipients provide a unique opportunity in amorphous phase stabilization of the therapeutic proteins. Herein, we discuss the role of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) derivatives as polymeric excipients for stabilizing a model fragment antibody (Fab2) during high tempera...

Effect of Buffer Salts on Physical Stability of Lyophilized and Spray-Dried Protein Formulations Containing Bovine Serum Albumin and Trehalose
This study examined the effect of buffer salts on the physical stability of spray-dried and lyophilized formulations of a model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA). BSA formulations with various buffers were dried by either lyophilization or spray drying. The protein powders were then characterized using solid-state Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ssFTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), size exclusion chromatography (SEC), solid-state hydrogen/deuterium exchange with mass spectrometry (ssHDX-MS), and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (ssNMR). Particle characterizations such as Brunauer-Emmett-T...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 1972: In Vitro Bioaccessibility of Bioactive Compounds from Rosehip-Enriched Corn Extrudates
a Chiş The rosehip (Rosa canina L.) fruit has gained researchers′ attention due to its rich chemical composition in vitamin C, phenols, carotenoids, and high antioxidant activity; meanwhile, polymers such as pea protein are generally recognized as exhibiting a protection role against the extrusion process. Corn snacks extrudates obtained by replacing corn flour with 10% R. canina powder (R) and 10% R. canina with pea protein (RPP) were evaluated for the physicochemical, textural, optical, and nutritional characteristics. A sample manufactured without R. canina powder was used as a control. Hardness, cris...

Examination of the association of muscle dysmorphia (bigorexia) and social physique anxiety in the male bodybuilders
This study aimed to examine the association between social physique anxiety and muscular dystrophy in bodybuilders.Design and MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 384 male bodybuilders.Findings5.7% of the participants reported muscular dystrophy. Younger age and use of protein powder were associated with higher scores on the muscle dysmorphic disorder Inventory. Higher muscular dystrophy was associated with higher social physique anxiety.Practice ImplicationsYoung male bodybuilders using protein powder are at increased risk to suffer from social physique anxiety and muscular dystrophy.

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 11939: Comparison of Whey Versus Almond Protein Powder on Nitrogen Balance in Female College Students; The California Almond Protein Powder Project (CAlmond-P3)
. Sikalidis Plant-based diets have become increasingly popular in the past decade, with approximately 11% of Americans self-identifying as vegan or vegetarian and many others trying to reduce meat consumption. Due to increasing interest, the plant-based food market has significantly expanded, with several innovative products serving as alternatives to animal-based products. One such example is almond protein powder, a new protein supplement created as an alternative to whey protein. Due to the novelty of almond protein products, little is known regarding how well the protein supplement supports nitrogen metabolism. The...

Nanosecond structural dynamics of intrinsically disordered β-casein micelles by neutron spectroscopy
We report on two relaxation processes on a nano-second and a sub-nano-second time scale for β-casein in solution. Both processes are analyzed by Brownian Oscillator model, by which the spring constant can be defined in the isotropic parabolic potential. The slower process, which is analyzed by neutron spin echo, seems a characteristic feature of the unfolded structure. It requires bulk solvent and is not seen in hydrated protein powders. The faster process, which is analyzed by neutron backscattering, has a smaller amplitude and requires hydration water, which is also observed with folded proteins in the hydrated state. T...
