Example 1: DP process for manufacturing M2CAB pharmaceutical products; F1 formulation [Table 1] [Table 2] [Table 3] [Table 4]
[0051] procedure Preparation of PBS: Approximately 1.6 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 8 g of sodium chloride, and 2 g of potassium chloride were added to a glass bottle containing approximately 790 g of deionized water. After dissolution, the pH of the solution was measured, and sodium hydroxide was added to adjust the pH to 7. Deionized water was added to bring the total volume to 1000 g.
[0052] Preparation of pharmaceutical products Approximately 645 mg of Tween® 20 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate) was added to a 20 mL glass vial using a pipette, followed by 642 mg of PEG-3350 polymer and 10 mL of PBS (pH 7.0). The solution was gently mixed using a magnetic stirrer at 300 rpm (to avoid air bubbles) for 20 minutes to completely dissolve the polymer. Approximately 4500 mg of M2CAB powder was transferred to the glass vial in several portions. The mixture was gently mixed using a magnetic stirrer at 700 rpm (700 rpm) to completely and uniformly disperse the M2CAB (for approximately 18 hours). In-process confirmation was performed by visual observation and microscopic imaging until few or no aggregates were observed. After the M2CAB was uniformly dispersed, the following bead beating process was carried out.
[0053] 0.25 mL of 0.4 mm zirconium oxide beads and 1 mL of the formulation were added to a microcentrifuge tube. Shaking was started at 4800 rpm for 2 minutes (initial temperature: 23°C; final temperature: 36°C), and after 1 minute, a 1 minute pulse was applied. After bead beating, the suspension was placed in a pre-set and washed high-shear homogenizer (5-30 psi) and passed through a high-pressure chamber until the particle size (Z mean) was 400 nm or less. In-process verification was performed using an analyzer. Once the particle size (Z mean) was less than 400 nm, the sample was collected in a 20 mL glass vial, and its appearance, pH, and osmolality were tested and recorded in the table below. [Table 5] [Table 6] [Table 7] [Table 8]
[0054] Consideration After 2 minutes of bead beating, the Z-mean (particle size distribution, i.e., PSD) of F1 decreased to 624 nm. After passing through a high-shear homogenizer once following bead beating, the Z-mean was 363 nm. After 18 hours of stirring, the nano-suspended formulation of F1 became more viscous and difficult to transfer with a pipette. Example 2. Gamma-ray irradiation vs. X-ray irradiation of F1 formulation, and 17-day stability. Objective: To analyze the appearance, particle size distribution, and zeta potential of the F1 formulation after gamma-ray and X-ray irradiation, and to evaluate the 17-day stability of the F1 formulation. In the irradiation test, the target dose was 25 kGy. The actual dose from gamma-ray irradiation was 26.8–27.2 kGy, and the total exposure time was 519 minutes. In the X-ray irradiation, the actual dose was 30.6–31.0 kGy, and the total exposure time was 125 minutes. [Table 9] result [Table 10] [Table 11] [Table 12] [Table 13]
[0055] Consideration The results indicated that the F1 formulation was unstable. Specifically, the F1 formulation transformed into a cake-like state at 25°C, while F1 stored at 2–8°C maintained its fluidity. Furthermore, after both gamma ray and X-ray treatment, the F1 formulation exhibited a cake-like physical form. In the cake-like samples, the particle size distribution (PSD) measured at D(10), D(50), and D(90) was significantly increased. Example 3. M2CAB nano-suspension formulation by ball milling. [Table 14] [Table 15]
[0056] procedure Preparation of a 5% trehalose solution (200 mL) Approximately 10 g of trehalose was added to 200 g of deionized water in a glass container and mixed to obtain a clear solution.
[0057] Preparation of pharmaceutical products Approximately 10 g of Tween® 20 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate) and 10 g of PEG-3350 polymer were added to a 500 mL glass bottle. 110 g of 5% trehalose solution was transferred to a glass vial and mixed at 700 rpm for 10 minutes until completely dissolved. Next, the solution was mixed at 5000 rpm using a high-shear mixer under ice cooling. Approximately 10 g of M2CAB powder was added to the solution and mixing was resumed at 5000 rpm for 2 minutes. The above procedure was repeated, and the weight transferred, mixing speed, and mixing time were recorded in the table below. [Table 16]
[0058] The solution was slowly mixed under high shear pressure while ice-cold to completely and uniformly disperse the M2CAB.
[0059] Ball milling process: Using a supply funnel, approximately 140-150 mL of milling beads (0.4 mm zirconium oxide beads) were added to the mill's grinding chamber, and the mill was moved to the horizontal operating position. The F13 formulation was added to the mill's recovery container. Overhead stirring was turned on, the cooling water cock was opened, and the product pump was started at the minimum flow rate. As soon as the product flowed out of the outlet into the recovery container, the ball mill was started at the minimum speed (10 Hz or 600 rpm) and increased to 2400 rpm in less than 1 minute. The F13 formulation was ground in the mill at 2400 rpm, and the circulation flow rate of the F13 formulation was gradually increased while maintaining the pressure not to exceed 10. Samples were taken at the points shown in the table below, and the particle size distribution (PSD) was measured. [Table 17]
[0060] The F13 formulation was crushed until a particle size (D50) plateaued, and then collected in a glass bottle. Buffering agent was added, and the mixture was stirred or mixed using an overhead mixer. The pH was adjusted with 1N NaOH or HCl as needed. [Table 18] Example 4. M2CAB nano-suspension formulation by ball milling. [Table 19] [Table 20] [Table 21]
[0061] Procedure: Preparation of the formulation Approximately 11 g of Tween® 20 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate) and 11 g of PEG-3350 polymer were transferred to a glass bottle. 119 g of water was added, and the solution was slowly mixed at 700 rpm for 15 minutes using a magnetic stirrer to completely dissolve the polymer. Then, 62 g of M2CAB powder was gradually transferred to the glass bottle. The solution was slowly mixed at 1200 rpm for 80 hours using a magnetic stirrer (high shear treatment was used to ensure uniformity of the formulation, and stirring was continued even after the high shear treatment was completed) to completely and uniformly disperse the M2CAB. Then, the remaining M2CAB was added to the glass bottle in stages.
[0062] High shear process The suspension sample was placed in an ice bath and homogenized using a Polytron high-shear mixer at 1200 rpm at 2-8°C for 20 minutes. In-process checks were performed every 5 minutes using an analyzer (approximately 5 μL was sampled each time), and the results were recorded in the table below. The process was stopped if the particle size was in the range of 800-900 nm. [Table 22]
[0063] Ball milling process: Using the supply funnel, 140 mL of milling beads (0.4 mm zirconium oxide beads) were added to the mill's grinding chamber, and the mill was moved to the horizontal operating position. The F14 formulation was added to the mill's recovery container, the mill was started, and the overhead stirrer was activated. The cooling water cock was opened, and the product pump was started at the minimum flow rate.
[0064] As soon as the product flowed out of the outlet into the recovery container, the ball mill was started at the minimum speed (10 Hz or 600 rpm) and increased to 2400 rpm in less than one minute. The F14 formulation was ground at 2400 rpm. With pump setting 4, the circulation rate of the F14 formulation was gradually increased while maintaining a pressure of 10 or less. Samples were taken at the points shown in the table below, and the particle size distribution (PSD) was measured. [Table 23]
[0065] The F14 formulation was ground until the particle size reached approximately 300 nm. The ball-milled samples were collected in bottles, and the ground F14 formulation was stored at 2-8°C. The appearance was observed visually and under an optical microscope, and the particle size distribution was tested. [Table 24]
[0066] Furthermore, no clogging was observed during the process.

[0072] 5% Mannitol Approximately 50 mg of mannitol and 1 mL of F14 were added to the vial. The vial was vortexed thoroughly, sealed, and crimped. The PSD was measured, and the vial was stored at -20°C.
[0073] test An osmometer was used, and after performing the initialization procedure with a sample tube filled with 0.25 mL of deionized water according to the instructions, the osmolality was tested. After the instrument was initialized, calibration was confirmed by measuring 200 μL of Clinitrol 290 mOsm standard solution. The result was recorded as 288 mOsm. When the osmometer reached 290 mOsm ± 2, the probe was washed with deionized water and lightly dried with a wipe. Next, the sample tube was replaced with a new one containing 200 μL of sample, and the results were recorded. result [Table 25] [Table 26] Consideration After three freeze-thaw cycles, the particle size remained the same for all three concentrations of trehalose (no significant changes were observed). After three freeze-thaw cycles, no significant changes in particle size were observed for either of the two mannitol concentrations.
[0074] Example 6. Freeze-thaw test of F14 Objective: To introduce a buffering agent into the F14 formulation.
[0075] procedure 3% trehalose-containing buffer Approximately 31 mg of trehalose and 0.78 mg of sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate were added to the vial. 1 mL of F14 was added to the vial, and the solution was vortex-mixed.

[0076] 5% trehalose-containing buffer solution Approximately 50 mg of trehalose and 0.76 mg of sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate were added to the vial. 1 mL of F14 was added to the vial, and the solution was vortex-mixed. PSD and osmolality were measured. The vial was sealed, crimped, and stored at -20°C. result [Table 27] [Table 28]
[0077] After three cycles of freeze-thawing, the particle size remained identical for both concentrations of trehalose containing the buffer (no significant changes were observed).
[0078] Example 7. M2CAB nano-suspension formulation by ball milling. Another 200mL-scale ball milling batch (named F15) was prepared with a higher proportion of surfactant. [Table 29] [Table 30]
[0079] Procedure: Preparation of the formulation Approximately 15 g of Tween® 20 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate) and 15 g of PEG-3350 polymer were added to a glass bottle. 99 g of water was added, and the solution was slowly mixed at 700 rpm for 10 minutes using a magnetic stirring bar to completely dissolve all components.
[0080] Next, the solution was mixed at 5000 rpm using a high-shear mixer under ice cooling. 10 g of M2CAB powder was transferred to the solution, and the solution was mixed at 8000 rpm for 2 minutes to form a homogeneous, fluid suspension. The above process was repeated, and the weight transferred, mixing speed, and time were recorded in the table below. [Table 31]
[0081] High shear process The suspension sample was placed in an ice bath and homogenized at high speed (12,000 rpm, 2-8°C, 15 minutes) using a high-shear mixer. Particle size was checked every 5 minutes during the process (approximately 5 μL was sampled each time), and the results were recorded in the table below. If the particle size could not be reduced further, the process was stopped. [Table 32]
[0082] Ball milling process: Using a supply funnel, 140-150 mL of milling beads (0.4 mm zirconium oxide beads) were added to the mill's grinding chamber, and the mill was moved to the horizontal operating position. The F13 formulation was added to the mill's recovery container, and the overhead stirrer was started. The cooling water cock was opened, and the product pump was started at the minimum flow rate. As soon as the product flowed out of the outlet into the recovery container, the ball mill was started at the minimum speed (10 Hz or 600 rpm) and increased to 2400 rpm in less than one minute.

[0114] Ball milling process: Using a supply funnel, 140-150 mL of milling beads (0.4 mm zirconium oxide beads) were added to the mill's grinding chamber. The grinding chamber was closed, and the mill was moved to the horizontal operating position. The F16 formulation was added to the mill's recovery container, and the overhead stirrer was started. The cooling water cock was opened, and the product pump was started at the minimum flow rate.
[0115] As soon as the product flowed out of the outlet into the recovery container, the mill was started at the minimum speed (10 Hz or 600 rpm) and increased to 2400 rpm in less than one minute. The F16 formulation was ground at 2400 rpm. With pump setting 4, the circulation rate of the F16 formulation was gradually increased while maintaining a pressure of 10 or less.

[0120] Example 16: Example of manufacturing procedure for M2CAB formulation F16 This is the preparation procedure for formulation F16. Add Tween® 20 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate) to the first container. Transfer PEG3350 to the container using a sterile scoop and record the result. Then add water for injection (WFI) to the container. Next, place a stirring bar in the first container and stir at approximately 600-800 rpm for about 10 minutes to obtain a visually clear solution. Then remove the stirring bar. Place the container in an ice bath. Using an overhead mixer, slowly mix the solution at 500-700 rpm. Transfer the total weight of M2CAB to the first container in stages, approximately 10-20% of the total weight at each stage, stirring before adding M2CAB each time to ensure a well-dispersed suspension of the sample. Continue mixing in the first container with an overhead mixer at 500-700 rpm for about 1-2 hours to obtain a homogeneous suspension. Record the rpm, temperature, and completion time. The container is kept in an ice bath, and the suspension inside the container is mixed using a Silverson high-shear mixer at 8000±500 rpm for approximately 15-30 minutes to further disperse the formulation.
[0121] The first cycle of ball milling is initiated. The procedure is as follows: a. Cool the ball mill system to 5°C. b. Insert the overhead mixer into the first container and agitate the mixture at 400±40 rpm to prevent sedimentation of the suspension. c. If necessary, scrape the bottom of the first container with a spatula to resuspend all large particles. d. Insert the ball mill inlet tube into the first container and the outlet tube into the second container. e. Start the peristaltic pump at minimum flow rate and allow the suspension to flow into the grinding chamber. f. Start the ball mill rotor at minimum speed (10 Hz or 600±60 rpm) and increase the speed to 2400±240 rpm within 2 minutes. g. Gradually increase the pump flow rate so that the pressure in the grinding chamber is less than 15 PSI. h. Once all the suspension has passed through the grinding chamber, stop the pump and take approximately 0.2 mL of sample with a sterile pipette. j. Measure the particle size distribution of the collected sample. Continue the process until the average particle size of the pulverized material is less than 400 nm.
[0122] To reduce particle size, continue the ball mill cycle. The procedure is as follows: a. Gently shake the second container. Then pour the solution into the first container. Return the outlet tube to the second container. b. Activate the peristaltic pump and gradually increase the flow rate until the pressure in the grinding chamber is less than 15 PSI. c. After each cycle, take a 1 mL sample using a sterile pipette for particle size distribution (PSD) measurement. f. Repeat the procedure until the average particle size of the grinding material is less than 400 nm.
[0123] In the subsequent steps, maintain stirring of the nano-suspension in the second container while minimizing foaming and generating a vortex using an overhead mixer. Transfer the trehalose to a weighing dish using a sterile scoop and then transfer it to the second container. Transfer the sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate to a weighing dish using a sterile scoop and then transfer it to the second container. Transfer the disodium hydrogen phosphate heptahydrate to a weighing dish using a sterile scoop and then transfer it to the second container. If necessary, add 1N NaOH / HCl to adjust the pH to 7.0±0.2. The acceptable pH range is 6.8~7.2. Stop stirring the nano-suspension in the second container and record the end time. Insert the overhead mixer into the nano-suspension and maintain stirring at 600~800 rpm. Record the stirring speed and start time. Adjust the stirring speed to the extent that a vortex is generated without excessive foaming. Maintain stirring of the suspension with the overhead mixer. Then, fill the final product into 10 mL Type 1 glass vials using a repeater pump. After filling the vials, immediately seal each vial with an 18mm sterile stopper in a biosafety cabinet. Crimp each vial with a 20mm cap. Place the vials in a secondary carton. Store the carton at 2-8°C and record the storage time.
