The purpose of this study was to develop a novel method to inhibit the formation of acylated peptide impurities in poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) formulations by reversely blocking the amino groups of octreotide with maleic anhydride (MA). Two mono-MA conjugates with different modification sites (N terminus and Lys residue) and di-MA conjugate of octreotide were prepared and isolated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The polymer interaction of peptides and the formation of acylated peptides were monitored by RP-HPLC. The stability of MA-octreotide conjugates in PLGA films was studied in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 37°C. The conjugation of MA to octreotide substantially inhibited the interaction of peptide with PLGA polymer and the subsequent formation of acylated peptide impurities. The MA-octreotides were successfully converted to intact octreotide as pH drops by PLGA hydrolysis. In PLGA films, MA-octreotide also showed complete inhibition of peptide acylation. In conclusion, MA conjugation provides a viable approach for stabilizing peptides in PLGA delivery systems.
