Popis: | Forced degradation is critical to probe the stabilities and chemical reactivities of therapeutic peptides. Typically performed in bulk followed by LC-UV or LC-MS analysis, this traditional workflow consists of a reaction/analysis sequence and usually requires half a day to several days to form and measure the desired amounts of degradants. A faster method is needed to study peptide degradation in a shorter time in order to speed up the drug development process.In the new rapid method developed in this study, peptide degradation occurs in levitated aqueous microdroplets using the Leidenfrost effect.This two-minute reaction/analysis workflow allows major degradation pathways of Buserelin, Octreotide, Desmopressin and Leuprorelin to be studied. The reactions include deamidation, disulfide bond cleavage, ether cleavage, peptide bond hydrolysis, and oxidation.The accelerated forced degradation method requires a minimal amount of therapeutic peptide per stress condition, and the appropriate extent of degradation can be readily generated in seconds by adjusting the droplet levitation time. Levitated microdroplets should be applicable in pharmaceutical development to rapidly determine the intrinsic stability of therapeutic peptides and to aid formulation development by screening the effects of excipients on the stability of the peptides.
