INTRODUCTION TO SPRAY FREEZE‐DRYING 9Excipients for FD and SFDproductsDesired effect / mechanism• buffering agent control of the pH (different buffers: sodium citrate, sodiumphosphate, Tris(tromethamine) buffer)• stabilizing agento cryprotectant improve protein stability in aqueous solution and upon thefreezing step (PEG, sugars)o lyoprotectant improve protein stability upon lyophilization (water‐removal) andstorage (sucrose, lactose, trehalose)o anti‐oxidant free‐radical scavenger avoiding oxidative damage of the API(ascorbic acid, cystein HCl)o surfactant saturation of hydrophobic interfaces to protect proteins againstdenaturation, aggregation or binding (polysorbat 20 and 80,poloxamer 188)o chelators complexation of heavy metal ions, improving the efficiency of antioxidants(EDTA)• bulking agents structural enhancement of <strong>freeze</strong>‐dried products / increase ofmass for low dosed potent APIs (mannitol, dextran)• tonicity modifiers parenteral formulations are adjusted to be isotone on redispersal(NaCl, sucrose, mannitol)• antimicrobialpreservative agentsif multiple administrations from the same vial are intended, theformulation must be preserved to avoid microbial contamination(thiomersal, benzyl alcohol)Table 2.2004].Possible e used in FD or SFD products.
