To simplify the search for effective mechanisms to suppress peptide acylation inside drug delivery devices made Of poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), we were looking for a suitable model system that would allow screening of strategies for peptide stabilization. With their low pH and the presence of lactic acid oligomers, diluted lactic acid solutions promised to be a suitable test system that mimics the microclimate in degrading PLA devices. We created solutions of 1-50% (w/w) lactic acid by dilution of concentrated lactic acid. Using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) analysis, oligomer hydrolysis was monitored during the equilibration process of the diluted solutions. Their final oligomer content was determined by titration and by calculations based on HPLC data. HPLC-MS analysis of human atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) stability in different lactic acid solutions at 37degreesC for 4 weeks demonstrated that ANP underwent acylation even in diluted solutions containing only 0.05% (w/w) lactic acid oligomers. Purity analysis of lactic acid solutions allowed us to compare the conditions in the solution test-system to the microclimate that prevails inside degrading PLA microspheres.
