https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Staurosporine.html Biological products, such as therapeutic proteins, vaccines and cell - based therapeutics have a rapidly growing global market. Monoclonal antibody represents a major portion of the biologics market. For biologics that target gastrointestinal tract, the oral delivery route offers many advantages, such as better patient compliance, easy administration and increased stability, over the parental route of administration. To lay the ground work for the oral delivery of biologics, we studied the solid state properties and effects of compaction pressure, particle size, and storage relative humidity on the stability of immunoglobulin G (IVIG). We employed complementary analytical and biophysical techniques, such as size exclusion chromatography and Dynamic light scattering to characterize the aggregates, circular dichroism and solid state Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy to evaluate protein secondary structure and nano-DSC to probe thermal stability of protein conformations. Our results showed storage relative humidity could induce conformational changes and aggregation of IVIG. However, the IVIG binding activity did not significantly change with relative humidity. The commonly used compaction pressures did not promote protein aggregation, but noticeably reduced binding activity.Lactose is present as an excipient in nearly half of all solid medicines. Despite the assumption of chemical stability, in aqueous solution, the chiral composition of lactose is prone to change. It is not known whether such epimerisation could also occur as solid crystalline α-lactose undergoes thermal desorption of its hydrated water. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the anomeric composition of lactose powders after heating in a differential scanning calorimeter. During thermal analysis, the heating cycles were interrupted to allow anomer-composition analysis by NMR. The onset for monohydrate desorption occurred at 143.8 ±
