Abstract A quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) between protein stability and the physicochemical properties of excipients was investigated to enable a more rational choice of stabilizing excipients than prior knowledge. The thermal transition temperature and aggregation time were determined for lysozyme in combination with 13 different amino acids using high throughput fluorescence spectroscopy and kinetic static light scattering measurements. On the theoretical side, around 200...

Abstract We have reported that cell-penetrating peptides, such as oligoarginine, act as powerful absorption enhancers for the development of oral insulin delivery systems. However, the minimal essential sequence of oligoarginine that stimulates intestinal insulin absorption remains unclear. Therefore, the present study was conducted to clarify this minimum sequence of oligoarginine and to examine the effect of single cationic amino acid arginine on the intestinal and oral absorption of insulin....

Abstract Molecular interactions were investigated within four different co-amorphous drug-amino acid systems, namely indomethacin−tryptophan (Ind−Trp), furosemide−tryptophan (Fur−Trp), indomethacin-arginine (Ind-Arg) and furosemide-arginine (Fur-Arg). The co-amorphous systems were prepared by ball milling for 90 minutes at different molar ratios and analyzed by XRPD and DSC. Interactions within the co-amorphous samples were evaluated based on the deviation between the actual glass...

Co-amorphization has recently been shown to be a promising approach for stabilizing amorphous drugs and improving the dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble drugs. In this study, three basic amino acids were chosen as small molecular weight excipients to interact with the drug to form co-amorphous combinations. The co-amorphous combinations of valsartan (VAL) with l-histidine, l-arginine, and l-lysine were prepared by vibrational ball milling. Solid-state characterization with X-ray powder...
