Synthesis of "Nereid," a new phenol-free detergent to replace Triton X-100 in virus inactivation.

ABSTRACT: In the 1980s, virus inactivation steps were implemented into the manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals in response to earlier unforeseen virus transmissions. The most effective inactivation process for lipid-enveloped viruses is the treatment by a combination of detergents, often including Triton X-100 (TX-100). Based on recent environmental concerns, the use of TX-100 in Europe will be ultimately banned, which forces the pharmaceutical industry, among others, to switch to an environmentally friendly alternative detergent with fully equivalent virus inactivation performance such as TX-100. In this study, a structure-activity relationship study was conducted that ultimately led to the synthesis of several new detergents. One of them, named "Nereid," displayed inactivation activity fully equivalent to TX-100. The synthesis of this replacement candidate has been optimized to allow for the production of several kg of detergent at lab scale, to enable the required feasibility and comparison virus inactivation studies needed to support a potential future transition. The 3-step, chromatography-free synthesis process described herein uses inexpensive starting materials, has a robust and simple work-up, and allows production in a standard organic laboratory to deliver batches of several hundred grams with >99% purity.

Tethered Bilayer Lipid Membrane Platform for Screening Triton X-100 Detergent Replacements by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy.

Project description:In light of regulatory considerations, there are ongoing efforts to identify Triton X-100 (TX-100) detergent alternatives for use in the biological manufacturing industry to mitigate membrane-enveloped pathogen contamination. Until now, the efficacy of antimicrobial detergent candidates to replace TX-100 has been tested regarding pathogen inhibition in endpoint biological assays or probing lipid membrane disruption in real-time biophysical testing platforms. The latter approach has proven especially useful to test compound potency and mechanism of action, however, existing analytical approaches have been limited to studying indirect effects of lipid membrane disruption such as membrane morphological changes. A direct readout of lipid membrane disruption by TX-100 detergent alternatives would be more practical to obtain biologically relevant information to guide compound discovery and optimization. Herein, we report the use of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to investigate how TX-100 and selected replacement candidates-Simulsol SL 11W (Simulsol) and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-affect the ionic permeability of tethered bilayer lipid membrane (tBLM) platforms. The EIS results revealed that all three detergents exhibited dose-dependent effects mainly above their respective critical micelle concentration (CMC) values while displaying distinct membrane-disruptive behaviors. TX-100 caused irreversible membrane disruption leading to complete solubilization, whereas Simulsol caused reversible membrane disruption and CTAB induced irreversible, partial membrane defect formation. These findings establish that the EIS technique is useful for screening the membrane-disruptive behaviors of TX-100 detergent alternatives with multiplex formatting possibilities, rapid response, and quantitative readouts relevant to antimicrobial functions.

Triton X-100 partitioning into sphingomyelin bilayers at subsolubilizing detergent concentrations: effect of lipid phase and a comparison with dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine.

Project description:We examined the partitioning of the nonionic detergent Triton X-100 at subsolubilizing concentrations into bilayers of either egg sphingomyelin (SM), palmitoyl SM, or dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine. SM is known to require less detergent than phosphatidylcholine to achieve the same extent of solubilization, and for all three phospholipids solubilization is temperature dependent. In addition, the three lipids exhibit a gel-fluid phase transition in the 38-41 degrees C temperature range. Experiments have been performed at Triton X-100 concentrations well below the critical micellar concentration, so that only detergent monomers have to be considered. Lipid/detergent mol ratios were never <10:1, thus ensuring that the solubilization stage was never reached. Isothermal titration calorimetry, DSC, and infrared, fluorescence, and (31)P-NMR spectroscopies were applied in the 5-55 degrees C temperature range. The results show that, irrespective of the chemical nature of the lipid, DeltaG degrees of partitioning remained in the range of -27 kJ/mol lipid in the gel phase and of -30 kJ/mol lipid in the fluid phase. This small difference cannot account for the observed phase-dependent differences in solubilization. Such virtually constant DeltaG degrees occurred as a result of the compensation of enthalpic and entropic components, which varied with both temperature and lipid composition. Consequently, the observed different susceptibilities to solubilization cannot be attributed to differential binding but to further events in the solubilization process, e.g., bilayer saturability by detergent or propensity to form lipid-detergent mixed micelles. The data here shed light on the relatively unexplored early stages of membrane solubilization and open new ways to understand the phenomenon of membrane resistance toward detergent solubilization.

Combined chemical and enzymatic stable isotope labeling for quantitative profiling of detergent-insoluble membrane proteins isolated using Triton X-100 and Brij-96.

Project description:Effective quantitative profiling of detergent-insoluble membrane proteins using high-throughput mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics would allow a better understanding of physiological and pathological processes that take place at the cell surface. To increase the coverage of proteins present in detergent-resistant membrane microdomains (DRMMs), a combination of 16O/18O and isotope coded affinity tags (ICAT) labeling was used in a comparative analysis of detergent-insoluble membrane proteins isolated from rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL-2H3), with either Triton X-100 or Brij-96. The analysis resulted in the quantification of 738 unique proteins from Triton X-100 and Brij-96 isolated DRMMs, significantly exceeding the number of proteins quantified from either single labeling technique. Twenty-five noncysteine-containing proteins were quantified, as well as 32 cysteine-containing proteins that would have been missed if either 16O/18O or ICAT labeling had been used exclusively, which illustrate better proteome coverage and enhanced ability to quantitate. The comparative analysis revealed that proteins were more readily extracted using Triton X-100 than Brij-96; however, Triton X-100 also extracted larger quantities of non-DRMMs-associated proteins. This result confirms previous, targeted studies suggesting that DRMMs isolated using Triton X-100 and Brij-96 differ in their protein content.

Detergent-Mediated Virus Inactivation in Biotechnological Matrices: More than Just CMC.

Project description:For decades, the ability of detergents to solubilize biological membranes has been utilized in biotechnological manufacturing to disrupt the lipid envelope of potentially contaminating viruses and thus enhance the safety margins of plasma- and cell-derived drugs. This ability has been linked to detergent micelles, which are formed if the concentration of detergent molecules exceeds the critical micelle concentration (CMC). Traditionally, the CMC of detergents is determined in deionized water (ddH2O), i.e., a situation considerably different from the actual situation of biotechnological manufacturing. This study compared, for five distinct detergents, the CMC in ddH2O side-by-side with two biopharmaceutical process intermediates relevant to plasma-derived (Immunoglobulin) and cell-derived (monoclonal antibody) products, respectively. Depending on the matrix, the CMC of detergents changed by a factor of up to ~4-fold. Further, the CMC in biotechnological matrices did not correlate with antiviral potency, as Triton X-100 (TX-100) and similar detergents had comparatively higher CMCs than polysorbate-based detergents, which are known to be less potent in terms of virus inactivation. Finally, it was demonstrated that TX-100 and similar detergents also have virus-inactivating properties if applied below the CMC. Thus, the presence of detergent micelles might not be an absolute prerequisite for the disruption of virus envelopes.

Carbohydrate-containing Triton X-100 analogues for membrane protein solubilization and stabilization.

Project description:Membrane protein manipulation is a challenging task owing to limited tertiary and quaternary structural stability once the protein has been removed from a lipid bilayer. Such instability can be overcome by embedding membrane proteins in detergent micelles formed from amphiphiles with carefully tuned properties. This study introduces a class of easy-to-synthesize amphiphiles, which are designated CGT (Chae's Glyco-Triton) detergents. Some of the agents are well suited for membrane protein solubilization and stabilization.

Identification of compendial nonionic detergents for the replacement of Triton X-100 in bioprocessing.

Project description:We have systematically investigated six compendial nonionic detergents as potential replacements for Triton ×-100 in bioprocessing applications. Use of compendial raw materials in cGMP bioprocessing is advantageous for a variety of reasons including material specifications developed to meet stringent pharmaceutical product quality requirements, regulatory familiarity and comfort, and availability from vendors experienced supplying the biopharmaceutical industry. We first examine material properties of the detergents themselves including melting point and viscosity. Process performance and product contact in real-world bioprocess applications are then investigated. Lastly, we test the detergents in virus inactivation (VI) experiments with recombinant proteins and adeno-associated virus. Two of the detergents tested, PEG 9 Lauryl Ether and PEG 6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, showed favorable properties that make them attractive for use as potential Triton X-100 replacements. Process performance testing indicated negligible impact of the detergents on product yield, purity, and activity compared to a control with no detergent. Importantly, both PEG 9 Lauryl Ether and PEG 6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides demonstrated very fast VI kinetics with complete inactivation of XMuLV observed in less than 1 min at a target 1% detergent concentration. Potential advantages and disadvantages of both candidate detergents for use in cGMP bioprocessing are summarized and discussed.

Solubilization of human erythrocyte membrane glycoproteins by triton X-100.

Project description:1. The enzymic removal of sialic acid residues from the glycoproteins of the human erythrocyte decreases the solubilization of membrane glycoprotein by Triton X-100. 2. The solubilization of asialoglycoprotein by Triton X-100 may be restored by the addition of borate. 3. Use of this non-ionic detergent in the presence of borate, as a general procedure for the mild solubilization of membrane glycoproteins deficient in sialic acid residues, is discussed.

Direct visualization of the action of Triton X-100 on giant vesicles of erythrocyte membrane lipids.

Project description:The raft hypothesis proposes that microdomains enriched in sphingolipids, cholesterol, and specific proteins are transiently formed to accomplish important cellular tasks. Equivocally, detergent-resistant membranes were initially assumed to be identical to membrane rafts, because of similarities between their compositions. In fact, the impact of detergents in membrane organization is still controversial. Here, we use phase contrast and fluorescence microscopy to observe giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) made of erythrocyte membrane lipids (erythro-GUVs) when exposed to the detergent Triton X-100 (TX-100). We clearly show that TX-100 has a restructuring action on biomembranes. Contact with TX-100 readily induces domain formation on the previously homogeneous membrane of erythro-GUVs at physiological and room temperatures. The shape and dynamics of the formed domains point to liquid-ordered/liquid-disordered (Lo/Ld) phase separation, typically found in raft-like ternary lipid mixtures. The Ld domains are then separated from the original vesicle and completely solubilized by TX-100. The insoluble vesicle left, in the Lo phase, represents around 2/3 of the original vesicle surface at room temperature and decreases to almost 1/2 at physiological temperature. This chain of events could be entirely reproduced with biomimetic GUVs of a simple ternary lipid mixture, 2:1:2 POPC/SM/chol (phosphatidylcholine/sphyngomyelin/cholesterol), showing that this behavior will arise because of fundamental physicochemical properties of simple lipid mixtures. This work provides direct visualization of TX-100-induced domain formation followed by selective (Ld phase) solubilization in a model system with a complex biological lipid composition.

Influence of cyclodextrin on the solubility and the polymerization of (meth)acrylated Triton(®) X-100.

Project description:Triton(®) X-100 (poly(ethylene glycol) tert-octylphenyl ether) was (meth)acrylated and polymerized in the absence and presence of randomly methylated ?-cyclodextrin (RAMEB-CD). Triton(®)-polymers that were polymerized with RAMEB-CD in water were compared with polymers that were synthesized in organic solvents after the addition of RAMEB-CD. The polymers were characterized by (1)H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) and turbidity measurements. Additionally, the viscosity change of the methacrylic homopolymer with RAMEB-CD was evaluated.
