pegfilgrastim case study for 7 biosimilars – PEGylation is a mature and versatile platform for improving biopharmaceutical performance

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved seven biosimilars for pegfilgrastim, the active ingredient in the reference product Neulasta (developed by Amgen). Pegfilgrastim is a PEGylated form of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor used to reduce the risk of febrile neutropenia in patients undergoing myelosuppressive chemotherapy.

Calculating the Contour Length and Hydrodynamic Radius of Polyethylene Glycol in Aqueous Solutions

This post outlines the fundamental methods for calculating the contour length—the maximum extended chain dimension—and the hydrodynamic radius, which characterizes the effective size of the solvated coil. These calculations rely on established polymer physics and empirical relations from experimental data.

Improving the Stability of Maleimide–Thiol Conjugation for Drug Targeting

Abstract Maleimides are essential compounds for drug conjugation reactions via thiols to antibodies, peptides and other targeting units. However, one main drawback is the occurrence of thiol exchange reactions with, for example, glutathione resulting in loss of the targeting ability. A new strategy to overcome such retro-Michael exchange processes of maleimide–thiol conjugates by stabilization of […]
