Description

可规模化的通过干燥保存生物活性物质的方法
                          发明领域
本发明涉及敏感的生物活性溶质(例如酶、蛋白质、病毒、血清、疫苗、脂质体和细胞悬浮液)以及其悬浮液、乳液和分散液的保存方法。
                          发明背景
生物活性物质的长期保存对我们来说是一种独特的挑战,因为生物活性物质是我们这个星球上最脆弱的、最易受环境影响的结构(这是它的本质特点)。当然,也有极少数水合物是稳定的,它们能被分离纯化并储藏在室温溶液中较长时间。
从商业和实践的角度来看,以干形式储藏生物活性物质具有许多优点。成功干燥的试剂、物质和组织的重量减少,保存所需的空间减少,但是它们的保存期限却增加。干物质的室温保存比低温保存方案及其费用更经济。
目前生产干的生物活性物质的方法主要包括冷冻干燥、喷雾干燥(参见美国专利No.5,563,318,该专利涉及喷雾干燥的一种变化方案)和流化床干燥,和对液相的小液滴或薄膜进行简单的蒸发干燥。降温保存方法可能有脱水作用,它包括冷冻干燥和/或深低温冷冻。
在生物活性物质经蜕变(transmute)干燥但仍可恢复生物活性形式的许多过程中,特别存在的问题始终是简单的空气干燥或真空干燥步骤很难放大。干燥是扩散限制型过程,因此对于超过10微升的水分含量来说,水分的除去就变得更加复杂,这是一点;而且待干燥的底物越大,其中心部份的有效干燥就越困难。干燥时间与水的扩散系数成反比,与样品大小的平方成正比。我们总不能老是求助于喷雾干燥技术,因为该技术中的一些具有典型的高温对柔弱的生物活性物质有破坏作用。而且,用已知的干燥方法来制备干燥的物质有时会产生稠密的、难溶的团块,这些团块在大规模(full-scale)商业性生物和药物应用中不能很好地作进一步处理。
因此,需要有一种通过干燥来保存敏感生物活性物质的可放大的方法。
                          发明概述
为了满足这一需求,本发明涉及一种通过从待干燥流体物质形成稳定泡沫来保存敏感的生物悬浮液和溶液的方法,这种方法既有助于流体中一种或多种生物活性底物的干燥,又有助于制得适用于进一步商业用途的易溶的干燥产物。稳定的泡沫是这样形成的:对浓缩的液体抽真空,使其在在远低于100℃的温度下“沸腾”。换句话说,使生物活性物溶液或悬浮液受减压作用,使它们在沸腾过程中产生泡沫,在起泡过程中进一步除去水分,最终产生稳定的开腔或闭腔泡沫。这些泡沫很容易通过切割、研磨或其它分隔方法来细分,而且起泡作用本身通过使液体蒸发面积或其它溶剂放散(evolutin)面积最大化而增强了水分的除去。
本发明的一个较佳实施方案公开了一种通过干燥来保存生物活性物质的方法。方法包括下列步骤:使含有生物活性剂的溶液、分散液或悬浮液受相应于低于24托的压力的真空作用,其中该真空度足以使溶液、分散液或悬浮液沸腾,从而使沸腾的溶液、分散液或悬浮液在沸腾期间干燥产生物理上稳定的泡沫。
在另一较佳实施方案中,所述流体静压在0到7.6托之间。
在另一较佳实施方案中,在使所述溶液、分散液或悬浮液沸腾的步骤之前,通过在压力高于7.6托的真空度下蒸发、从部分冷冻状态蒸发(即冷冻干燥),或用反向渗透或其它膜技术,以减少溶液、分散液或悬浮液沸腾的时间。
在另一较佳实施方案中,通过在升高温度下对所述稳定泡沫施加真空或干空气中的一种来进行二次干燥。
根据本发明的另一实施方案,通过沸腾产生物理上稳定的泡沫来保存生物活性物质的方法还包括使泡沫与合适溶剂接触保存并使所述稳定泡沫重新水合的步骤。重新水合可在高于重新水合前泡沫保存温度的温度下进行。或者,重新水合前的泡沫保存温度至少和环境温度一样高。或者,重新水合可在等于或低于泡沫保存温度的温度下进行。在另一变化方案中,重新水合前的泡沫保存温度低于或等于环境温度。在另一个形式中,重新水合所用溶剂是包括低温保护剂的水性溶液。
                          发明详述
本发明是一种通过从待干燥流体物质形成稳定泡沫来保存敏感的生物分散液、悬浮液和溶液的方法,这种方法既有助于干燥流体中一种或多种生物活性底物,又有助于制得适用于进一步商业用途的容易细分的干燥产物。稳定的泡沫是这样形成的:进一步对生物液体抽真空,使其在远低于100℃的温度下“沸腾”。换句话说,使生物活性物溶液或悬浮液受减压作用,使溶液或悬浮液在沸腾过程中产生泡沫,产生稳定的开腔或闭腔泡沫。样品中的沸腾在室温或更低温度下进行,以避免生物活性物质受热损伤。如果真空室中的流体静压低于24托(这是25℃水上的平衡蒸汽压),施加真空使得生物液体在室温(通常为25℃)或更低温度下沸腾。
在沸腾前,生物物质的比活可采用常规浓缩技术(如蒸发、冷冻干燥和膜分离技术)来提高。
在形成泡沫后,可在升高的温度下在真空下对泡沫进行进一步(“第二次”)干燥,干燥时间为达到预定的玻璃转化温度所需的时间。这些泡沫很容易通过切割、研磨或其它分隔方法来细分,而且起泡作用本身通过使液体蒸发面积最大化而增强了水分的除去。(通常,待干燥物质的溶剂部分是水性的;然而,应当理解本发明适用于各种类型的溶液和悬浮液,包括那些含有非水性溶剂或这些溶剂的混合物的溶液和悬浮液)。
适用于该真空-沸腾-泡沫-形成革新方法的生物液体实际上是无限的。确实何溶液或悬浮液均可用本发明的真空沸腾方法来脱水,但是该方法在保存敏感的生物物质方面有明显的优点(即,由于较低的干燥温度而避免了破坏)。对于掺入了保护剂以及基本上任何类型溶剂的溶液,当它受低于大气压作用并在沸腾过程中产生泡沫时,它受的干燥作用会增强。保护剂可以包括(没有限制):糖(包括蔗糖)、碳水化合物、多糖、水溶性聚合物、肽或蛋白质等,只要保护剂能增强生物活性物质经受干燥和保存的能力,而且不干扰特定的生物活性。
一旦理解了本发明中干燥过程与减压沸腾的结合,就可以看出在最简单的实例中本发明的装置是一种真空泵和温度控制干燥器的新组合装置。这一组合的其它任选特征包括:测定温度和热流控制的传感器,根据从这些及其它传感器收集的数据来计算其它过程参数的微处理器等。这种装置能够实现新的用于干燥的二维的真空和温度的设置方案。
在本发明的一个重要实例中,泡沫的形成包括两个步骤:(a)通过真空下沸腾使含有生物活性剂的溶液或分散液充分脱水,形成稳定的不会被破坏的泡沫,和(b)随后将泡沫二次干燥至泡沫稳定并且不会在保存时被破坏。如果泡沫中物质的玻璃转化温度高于保存温度,泡沫在长期保存期间不会破裂。
如上所述,本发明提供了一种可改变规模的保存敏感的生物活性物质(蛋白质、酶、血清、疫苗、病毒、脂质体和细胞悬浮液)方法,该方法采用了独特的工程化干燥方法。采用这种方法,就可以用水或水性溶液使样品重新水合,以使该过程逆转并恢复成原始的生物活性。该方法适用于保存药物、流体或实际上其它任何生物活性产物或溶质。
在本发明的方法中,相当大量的生物活性液体(溶液或悬浮液)可通过真空下沸腾而脱水形成稳定的泡沫,因为沸腾是湍流的可规模化的过程。泡沫的形成是一个动态的过程,它取决于形成泡沫过程中温度和真空度的改变速度,以及含有生物活性物质的溶液或悬浮液的初始浓度和组成。根据本发明制得的泡沫可整个保存或可细分或研磨,当要使用它们时,为了要重新恢复它们原来的生物活性,泡沫只需进行重新水合。通过加入表面活性剂或其它合成或生物聚合物,可进一步增强泡沫的稳定性,只要那些添加剂不干扰打算转化成干形式的溶质的生物活性。可在升高的温度下对干的泡沫进行二次干燥,随后冷却至低于玻璃转化温度的保存温度,以确保保存时的泡沫稳定性。在恒定的流体静压下,玻璃态只能通过冷却获得,因为它不取决于样品中的扩散速度。单单地干燥不能获得玻璃态,因为它是缓慢的扩散限制过程。
下列实施例用来描述本发明的实施方案,其中样品在沸腾经蒸发浓缩。尽管这些实施例说明敏感的生物物质可通过形成泡沫来保存,但是本文公开的各个实施方案绝不应被理解为局限于下列工作例中描述的具体过程。
                          实施例1
使含有59.4单位活性/毫升的50%异柠檬酸甘油酯脱氢酶水溶液(购自SigmaChemical Co.)在0.1M Tris HCl缓冲液(pH=7.4)中透析5小时。在透析后,0.1M TrisHCl溶液中异柠檬酸酯脱氢酶的活性为26±1.8单位/毫升。活性随着透析时稀释而引起的酶浓度的降低而降低。
将100微升的混合物放在1.5毫升塑料管中并在室温下干燥进行保存,该混合物含有50微升50%(重量)的蔗糖溶液和50微升在0.1M Tris HCl缓冲液(pH7.4)中的异柠檬酸酯脱氢酶悬浮液。首先,使样品在低真空度(流体静压P=0.2大气压)下干燥4小时。第二,使样品在高真空度(P<0.01大气压)下沸腾4小时。在这一步中,试管内形成了稳定的干泡沫。第三,使样品在真空、室温下,在DRIERITE上保存8天。
在保存规定天数后,用500微升水使样品重新水合。含有干泡沫的样品的重新水合是容易的,它可在几秒种内完成。通过在340nm用分光光度计测定还原NADP的能力来测定重建样品的活性。反应混合物包括:2毫升0.1M Tris HCl缓冲液,pH=7.4;10微升0.5%(重量)NADP+;10微升10mM MnSO4溶液;10微升50mM 1-异柠檬酸酯;以及10微升异柠檬酸酯脱氢酶溶液。活性为2.6±0.2单位/毫升,这意味着在室温下干燥和随后的保存中活性没有损失。
                          实施例2
将100微升的混合物放在1.5毫升塑料管中并在室温下干燥进行保存,该混合物含有50微升50%(重量)的蔗糖溶液和50微升冰晶核细菌悬浮液(由GenencorInternational,Inc.提供)。首先,使样品在低真空度(流体静压P=0.2大气压)下干燥4小时。第二,使样品在高真空度(P<0.01大气压)下沸腾4小时。在真空下沸腾后,试管内形成了稳定的干泡沫。第三,使样品在真空、室温下在DRIERITE上保存8天。在保存8天后,用500微升水使样品重新水合。含有干泡沫的样品的重新水合是容易的,它可在几秒钟内完成。然后测定样品的冰成核活性与对照样品比较。我们发现用本发明方法保存的样品每1000个细菌的冰成核活性与对照样品没有显著区别。
尽管本发明已参照上述特定实施例和细节进行了描述,但是本发明的范围只能取决于在附加的权利要求中所提出的陈述。
