Properties of Biologics
5 11MAY2012 CACO-SF CRhodes
Properties of Peptides
•Typically water soluble > 1 mg/ml
•Stability in solution is often limited
•hydrolysis, deamidation
•Store in lyophilized form, or store in solution at 2-8C
•Stability as solid is good when water content is low
•Peptides < 4000 g/mol – peptide synthesis
•Peptides > 4000 g/mol – usually recombinant manuf
•Immunogenicity and safety
•Naturally derived peptides are typically risk reduced because
safety of the class is well understood
•Immunogenicity is a concern
•Drug product is usually solution for injection
