Excipients are added to biopharmaceutical formulations to enhance protein stability and enable the development of robust formulations with acceptable physicochemical properties, but the mechanism by which they confer stability is not fully understood. Here, we aimed to elucidate the mechanism through direct experimental evidence of the binding affinity of an excipient to a monoclonal antibody (mAb), using saturation transfer difference (STD) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic method....

[NMR paper] Convergent Views on Disordered Protein Dynamics From NMR and Computational Approaches
Convergent Views on Disordered Protein Dynamics From NMR and Computational Approaches
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) or intrinsically disordered regions (IDR) is a class of biologically important proteins exhibiting specific biophysical characteristics. They lack a hydrophobic core and their conformational behavior is strongly influenced by electrostatic interactions. IDPs and IDRs are highly dynamic and a characterization of the motions of IDPs and IDRs is essential for their physically correct description. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) together with molecular...

[NMR paper] Comprehensive Assessment of Protein and Excipient Stability in Biopharmaceutical Formulations Using (1)H NMR Spectroscopy
Comprehensive Assessment of Protein and Excipient Stability in Biopharmaceutical Formulations Using (1)H NMR Spectroscopy
Biopharmaceutical proteins are important drug therapies in the treatment of a range of diseases. Proteins, such as antibodies (Abs) and peptides, are prone to chemical and physical degradation, particularly at the high concentrations currently sought for subcutaneous injections, and so formulation conditions, including buffers and excipients, must be optimized to minimize such instabilities. Therefore, both the protein and small molecule content of biopharmaceutical...

Abstract
Cyclosporine A (CsA) and its chemical analogues EthVal4Cs, MeVal4Cs, and Me(d-Ala)3EthVal4Cs (Alisporivir) all interact with cyclophilin A (CypA). The latter Alisporivir is a nonimmunosuppressive CsA derivative that has potent anti-HCV properties...
