These promising results and considering the robustness of the terahertz method pave the way for a fully automated at-line/on-line porosity sensor for real time release testing of IR tablets dissolution.Enalapril maleate (EM) is known to suffer from incompatibilities in the solid state. This study investigates the destabilizing effect of sodium starch glycolate (SSG) on EM. This was done by varying the mixing ratio and moisture content of binary mixtures. Differential scanning calorimetry and microscopy show a loss of crystallinity of EM at the contact surface with SSG. ARRY-162 It is shown that this is followed by decomposition of E to diketopiperazine (DKP). These phenomena are modulated by moisture. The environmental pH turned out to be crucial; when the zwitterion is formed at the appropriate pH, ring closure into DKP is promoted.Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs), such as somatic cell-therapy medicinal products or tissue-engineered products for human use, offer new and potentially curative opportunities to treat yet untreatable diseases or disorders. For cell-therapy medicinal products (CBMPs), multiple stability and quality challenges exist and relate to the cellular composition and unstable nature of these parenteral preparations. It is the aim of this review to discuss open questions and problems associated with the development, manufacturing and testing of CBMPs from a pharmaceutical drug product perspective. This includes safety, storage and handling, particulates, the choice of container closure systems and integrity. Analytical methods commonly used to evaluate the quality of the final CBMP to ensure patient's safety will be discussed. Particulate contamination in final products deserve special attention since CBMPs cannot be sterile filtered. Visible and sub-visible particles may represent environmental contaminations or may form during storage. They may be introduced from processing materials such as single use product contact materials, ancillary materials, or any components such as primary packaging used for the final product. Currently available analytical methods for detecting particulates may not be easily applicable to CBMPs due to their inherent particulate nature and appearance.Most quantitative research methods are based on measuring either the total or the free concentration of an analyte in a sample. However, this is often insufficient for the study of complex biological systems. The main objective of this research was to develop new methods for providing more information from samples the free concentration (Cf), the total concentration (Ct), and the plasma binding capacity (PBC). Samples were processed using microextraction and ultrafiltration. For each of these techniques, two quantification procedures were used addition of isotopically labeled standard and repeated analysis of the same sample. The new methods were validated by analyzing clinical samples and samples with known concentrations. Methods based on addition of labeled compound were found to be the fastest, and most reproducible. For analysis of clinical samples, methods based on microextraction were more sensitive and more accurate than those based on ultrafiltration. For analysis of pooled plasma samples, the overall accuracy of all approaches to determine PBC, testosterone Cf, and testosterone Ct was between 94 and 109%, 87-113%, and 94-122% respectively. The new approach goes beyond a simple concentration measurement, giving more information from clinical samples, with great potential for personalizing drug dosage and therapy to the needs of individual patients.During the manufacturing process of biopharmaceuticals, peristaltic pumps are employed at different stages for transferring and dosing of the final product. Commonly used silicone tubings are known for particle shedding from the inner tubing surface due to friction in the pump head. These nanometer sized silicone rubber particles could interfere with proteins. Until now, only mixed protein particles containing micrometer-sized contaminations such as silicone oil have been characterized, detected, and quantified. To overcome the detection limits in particle sizes of contaminants, this study aimed for the definite identification of protein particles containing nanometer sized silicone particles in qualitative and quantitative manner. The mixed particles consisted of silicone rubber particles either coated with a protein monolayer or embedded into protein aggregates. Confocal Raman microscopy allows label free chemical identification of components and 3D particle imaging. Labeling the tubing enables high-resolution imaging via confocal laser scanning microscopy and counting of mixed particles via Imaging Flow Cytometry. Overall, these methods allow the detection and identification of particles of unknown origin and composition and could be a forensic tool for solving problems with contaminations during processing of biopharmaceuticals.Keratin 17 (KRT17) expression promotes the proliferation and invasion of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and mutations in TP53 have been reported in 65% to 85% of OSCC cases. We studied the correlation between KRT17 expression and TP53 mutants. Ca9-22 cells, which exhibit low KRT17 expression, carried mutant p53 (p53R248W) and p53R248W knockdown promoted KRT17 expression. p53R248W knockdown in Ca9-22 cells promoted migration and invasion activity. In contrast, in HSC3 cells, which have p53 nonsense mutations and exhibit high KRT17 expression, the overexpression of p53R248W decreased KRT17 expression, cell size, proliferation, and migration and invasion activities. In addition, p53R248W significantly suppressed MMP2 mRNA expression and enzyme activity. Moreover, s.c. and orthotopic xenografts were generated from p53R248W- or p53R248Q-expressing HSC3 cells. Tumors formed from p53R248W-expressing HSC3 cells grew more slowly and had a lower Ki-67 index than those derived from the control or p53R248Q-expressing HSC3 cells. Finally, the survival rate of the mice inoculated with p53R248W-expressing HSC3 cells was significantly higher than that of the control mice. These results indicate that the p53R248W mutant suppresses proliferation and invasion activity through the suppression of KRT17 expression. We propose that OSCC with p53R248W-expressing cells may be classified as a new OSCC type that has a good prognosis.
