The next stop for PEGylated protein drugs: Biosimilar

Pegfilgrastim is a PEGylated form of the recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor analog filgrastim. It serves to stimulate the level of white blood cells. Pegfilgrastim has a human half-life of 15 to 80 hours, much longer than the parent filgrastim (3–4 hours). Pharma Companies & PEGylated Drug Development Multiple major pharma companies have been busy […]

FDA Guidelines on PEGylated Protein Drug Immunogenicity

Immune responses to therapeutic protein products may pose problems for both patient safety and product efficacy. Immunologically based adverse events, such as anaphylaxis, cytokine release syndrome, and cross-reactive neutralization of endogenous proteins mediating critical functions, have caused sponsors to terminate the development of what otherwise may have been efficacious therapeutic protein products. Potential Effects of […]

Thiolated PEGs Can Stabilize or Destabilize Gold Nanoparticles

PEG reagents are commonly used to prepare stable colloidal metal nanoparticle dispersion such as gold and silver through PEG thiol chemistry among other pegylation strategies. It typically works by replacing citrate or other capping ligands. How PEGs Control Variability in Gold Nanoparticles Did you know? By controlling the ratio of PEG-SH reagents to AuNP, you […]
