This limitation may be attributed to processes inherent to the unique composition of SC tissue, including the potential presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the SC microenvironment, which can induce chemical and structural instability and functional impairment. This study investigated the impact of oxidation on the SC BA of adalimumab (Humira® biosimilar) as a representative IgG1 therapeutic protein. Two models of oxidation, mimicking some of those ROS encountered in the SC tissue, were applied to adalimumab, then the resulting oxidized variants were characterized and subsequently administered SC to rats to evaluate changes in SC BA. HPLC-MS/MS analysis identified methionine residues within CH2-CH3 interface as the primary sites of oxidation. Oxidation at these sites correlated with reduced conformational stability, alterations in the charge variant profile, and diminished binding affinity to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). SC administration of oxidized species at 18% (w/w), diluted with excess unstressed IgG, to rats resulted in a slight decrease in SC BA, although not statistically significant. Additionally, oxidized AdmAb showed prolonged retention at the SC injection site, which may be associated with reduced conformational stability and higher propensity to aggregation and precipitation, although the underlaying mechanism requires further studies. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that oxidation can substantially alter the biophysical stability and FcRn binding affinity, while administering a moderate proportion of those oxidized species 18% (w/w) results in minimal changes in PK profile and overall SC BA.</p>","PeriodicalId":16741,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmaceutical sciences","volume":" ","pages":"104550"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149216414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regarding the latter, specific surface area and particle anisometry are key parameters, yet quantitative methods to assess them for non-spherical particles remain limited. In this study, a hydrodynamic approach based on Perrin's theory for oblate ellipsoids was applied to approximate particle anisometry from dynamic light scattering data. Using this approach, the influence of matrix lipid type, particle size, emulsifier type, and emulsifier concentration on the shape of SLNPs was systematically investigated. Along the triglyceride series trilaurin to tristearin, particle anisometry increased with chain length, consistent with the formation of thinner, more platelet-like particles. Smaller SLNPs exhibited lower anisometry than larger particles. Interfacial effects were pronounced: post-modification with different emulsifiers resulted in marked differences in hydrodynamically approximated anisometry, with sucrose monolaurate-treated systems showing the highest and poloxamer 407-treated systems the lowest apparent anisometry. Increasing the concentration of poloxamer 188 reduced anisometry, whereas increasing the concentration of sucrose monolaurate increased it. Electron microscopic imaging qualitatively confirmed the calculated trends in particle shape. Overall, the presented method provides a practical screening tool for comparing relative changes in SLNP anisometry.
