[ 0002 ] This application relates generally to formulations 10008 ] In addition to the therapeutic applications of pro for delivering biopolymers. teins described above , biopolymers such as enzymes , pep tides , and structural proteins can be used in non - therapeutic applications . These non - therapeutic biopolymers can be BACKGROUND produced from a number of different pathways, for example , [ 0003] Biopolymers may be used for therapeutic or non derived from plant sources , animal sources , or produced therapeutic purposes . Biopolymer -based therapeutics, such from cell cultures . as antibody or enzyme formulations , are widely used in [ 0009 ] The non - therapeutic proteins can be produced , treating disease . Non - therapeutic biopolymers , such as transported , stored , and handled as a granular or powdered enzymes , peptides, and structural proteins , have utility in material or as a solution or dispersion , usually in water . The non - therapeutic applications such as household , nutrition , biopolymers for non - therapeutic applications can be globu commercial , and industrial uses. lar or fibrous proteins , and certain forms of these materials [ 0004 ] Biopolymers used in therapeutic applications must can have limited solubility in water or exhibit high viscosity be formulated to permit their introduction into the body for upon dissolution . These solution properties can present treatment of disease . For example , it is advantageous to challenges to the formulation , handling , storage, pumping , deliver antibody and protein /peptide biopolymer formula and performance of the non - therapeutic materials , so there is tions by subcutaneous (SC ) or intramuscular ( IM ) routes a need for methods to reduce viscosity and improve solu under certain circumstances , instead of administering these bility and stability of non - therapeutic protein solutions . formulations by intravenous ( IV ) injections. In order to achieve better patient compliance and comfort with SC or [0010 ] Proteins are complex biopolymers, each with a IM injection though , the liquid volume in the syringe is uniquely folded 3 - D structure and surface energy map typically limited to 2 to 3 ccs and the viscosity of the (hydrophobic / hydrophilic regions and charges ). In concen formulation is typically lower than about 20 centipoise ( CP ) trated protein solutions , these macromolecules may strongly so that the formulation can be delivered using conventional interact and even inter - lock in complicated ways , depending medical devices and small -bore needles.
