Abstract

This work focused on pre-formulation studies for freeze-dried protein formulations, using albumin as a model protein. Two aminoacids and two sugars were selected as lyoprotectors and studied according a mixture design (simplex-lattice). Sample characterization included total protein content, collapse temperature and visual inspection. Sugar formulations collapsed, but not aminoacids, which indicate non sugar excipients as the best choice under the studied conditions.
