Abstract
The effects of amphiphilic excipients on the inactivation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) during freeze-thawing and freeze-drying were studied. Some amphiphilic excipients such as hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD), CHAPS, polyethylene glycol (PEG) 3350, and sucrose fatty acid monoester prevented LDH inactivation during freeze-thawing and freeze-drying at a lower concentration than sugars and amino acids. Polyoxyethylene 9 lauryl ether and PEG 400 protected LDH during freeze-thawing but not during freeze-drying. The buffer concentration of the solution to be freeze-dried (10, 50, and 200 mM) affected the stabilizing effect of trehalose, but not that of HP-beta-CD. (c) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
