Benefits of technology

[0012]We have discovered that certain modified GLP-1 or analogues thereof when formulated in aqueous solution together with a buffer, are physically stable at high concentrations of the modified GLP-1 or analogues thereof, when kept in the pH range from about 7 to about 10. The present formulations are physically stable within a given shelf life period at the recommended storage temperature (typically 2-3 years at 2-8° C.). Furthermore, the present formulations are physically stable during in-use (typically 1 month at accelerated temperatures e.g. 25° C. or 37° C.). The formulations of the

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, as an insulinotropic hormone, GIP was found to be almost ineffective in NIDDM.
While much attention has been focused on the pharmacological properties of acylated GLP-1 compounds, hitherto little is known about their physico-chemical and solution structural properties.
It is an important technical challenge to ensure prolonged stability during storage (shelf life) of many protein based drug products due

example 1

[0236]Preservative, isotonic agent and buffer were dissolved and pH was adjusted to the specified pH. Hereafter the Compound 1 or GLP1(7-37) was dissolved under slow stirring. The pH was adjusted to the specified using Sodium Hydroxide and / or Hydrochloric Acid. Finally, the formulation was sterilised by filtration through a 0.22 μm sterile filter.

It is seen that a formulation with GLP1(7-37) is physically unstable after just 1 day as it has a visual score corresponding to 3 and a turbidity of 364 NTU, whereas a formulation with Compound 1 is physically stable for more than 12 weeks.

example 2

[0237]Buffer was dissolved and pH was adjusted to the specified pH. Hereafter the Compound 1 was dissolved under slow stirring. The pH was adjusted to the specified using Sodium Hydroxide and / or Hydrochloric Acid. Finally, the formulation was sterilised by filtration through a 0.22 μm sterile filter. The physical stability is evaluated by visual inspection and Turbidity measurements in NTU as described in Example 1.

It is seen that the formulation is physically stable for more than 22 months.

[0238]Preservative and buffer was dissolved and pH was adjusted to the specified pH. Hereafter the Compound 1 was dissolved under slow stirring. The pH was adjusted to the specified using Sodium Hydroxide and / or Hydrochloric Acid. Finally, the formulation was sterilised by filtration through a 0.22 μm sterile filter.
