Chemical Properties

• Appearance: /
• Solubility: Freely soluble in dilute salt solutions and water. Aqueous solutions containing 40% w/v albumin can be readily prepared at pH 7.4. The high net charge of the peptide contributes to its solubility in aqueous media. The seven disulfide bridges contribute to its chemical and spatial conformation. At physiological pH, albumin has a net electrostatic charge of about –17. Aqueous albumin solutions are slightly viscous and range in color from almost colorless to amber depending on the protein concentration.

Usage

Description

SeruM AlbuMin Iodine is a sterile, nonpyrogenic preparation of serum albumin obtained from healthy human donors. It is available in various concentrations and may contain stabilizing agents such as sodium acetyltryptophanate or sodium caprylate, but no antimicrobial preservatives. Aqueous albumin solutions are slightly viscous and range in color from almost colorless to amber, while in the solid state, albumin appears as brownish amorphous lumps, scales, or powder.

Used in Research and Development:
SeruM AlbuMin Iodine is used as a research tool in various scientific applications, such as studying protein interactions, drug binding, and the development of new drug delivery systems. Its unique properties make it a valuable resource for researchers in the field of biochemistry and pharmaceuticals.

Production Methods

Albumin human (USP 32) Albumin human is a sterile nonpyrogenic preparation of serum albumin that is obtained by fractionating material (source blood, plasma, serum, or placentas) from healthy human donors. The source material is tested for the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen. It is made by a process that yields a product safe for intravenous use. Human albumin solution (PhEur 6.0) Human albumin solution is an aqueous solution of protein obtained from plasma. Separation of the albumin is carried out under controlled conditions so that the final product contains not less than 95% albumin. Human albumin solution is prepared as a concentrated solution containing 150–250 g/L of total protein or as an isotonic solution containing 35–50 g/L of total protein. A suitable stabilizer against the effects of heat such as sodium caprylate (sodium octanoate) or N-acetyltryptophan or a combination of these two at a suitable concentration, may be added, but no antimicrobial preservative is added at any stage during preparation. The solution is passed through a bacteriaretentive filter and distributed aseptically into sterile containers, which are then closed so as to prevent contamination. The solution in its final container is heated to 60±1.08℃ and maintained at this temperature for not less than 10 hours. The containers are then incubated at 30–328℃ for not less than 14 days or at 20–258℃ for not less than 4 weeks and examined visually for evidence of microbial contamination.

Pharmaceutical Applications

Albumin is primarily used as an excipient in parenteral pharmaceutical formulations, where it is used as a stabilizing agent for formulations containing proteins and enzymes.Albumin has also been used to prepare microspheres and microcapsules for experimental drug-delivery systems. As a stabilizing agent, albumin has been employed in protein formulations at concentrations as low as 0.003%, although concentrations of 1–5% are commonly used. Albumin has also been used as a cosolvent for parenteral drugs, as a cryoprotectant during lyophilization, and to prevent adsorption of other proteins to surfaces. Therapeutically, albumin solutions have been used parenterally for plasma volume replacement and to treat severe acute albumin loss. However, the benefits of using albumin in such applications in critically ill patients has been questioned.

Safety

Albumin occurs naturally in the body, comprising about 60% of all the plasma proteins. As an excipient, albumin is used primarily in parenteral formulations and is generally regarded as an essentially nontoxic and nonirritant material. Adverse reactions to albumin infusion rarely occur but include nausea, vomiting, increased salivation, chills, and febrile reactions. Urticaria and skin rash have been reported. Allergic reactions, including anaphylactic shock, can occur. Albumin infusions are contraindicated in patients with severe anemia or cardiac failure. Albumin solutions with aluminum content of less than 200 mg/L should be used in dialysis patients and premature infants. LD50 (monkey, IV): >12.5 g/kg LD50 (rat, IV): >12.5 g/kg

storage

Albumin is a protein and is therefore susceptible to chemical degradation and denaturation by exposure to extremes of pH, high salt concentrations, heat, enzymes, organic solvents, and other chemical agents. Albumin solutions should be protected from light and stored at a temperature of 2–258℃ or as indicated on the label.
