PURPOSE: beta-D(+) glucose-glucose oxidase (E.C.# 1.1.3.4)-catalase (E.C.# 1.11.1.6) (GO-CAT) is being investigated as a new antioxidant system for use in pharmaceutical solutions. This study reports the results of tests for pyrogenicity and antigenicity of GO-CAT derived from Aspergillus niger when used parenterally in autoclaved preparations.
METHODS: The Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) method was used to test the pyrogenicity of native GO-CAT. Pyrogenicity/antigenicity was evaluated in vivo by injecting autoclaved GO-CAT into New Zealand white rabbits. Antigenicity was also evaluated by Ouchterlony and Western blotting.
RESULTS: None of the native GO-CAT concentrations tested (up to 30.83 u/ml) produced a positive gel clot in the LAL test, thereby suggesting its non-pyrogenicity. The rabbits, which received seven injections of autoclaved GO-CAT over a period of eleven weeks, remained healthy during and after the GO-CAT injections. All Ouchterlony and Western blot assays using sera from rabbits injected with autoclaved GO-CAT were negative. Furthermore, autoclaved GO-CAT could not be detected in Ouchterlony assays using a mouse monoclonal antibody (GO40 mAb) to native A. niger glucose oxidase. Control samples containing native GO-CAT produced an antigen-antibody complex reaction in Ouchterlony assays against the GO40 mAb. Antigen-antibody complexes could be detected by non-denaturing PAGE in samples containing native GO-CAT/GO40 and boiled GO-CAT/GO40, but not in samples containing autoclaved GO-CAT/GO40. These results indicate autoclaved GO-CAT is neither pyrogenic nor antigenic.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on these results, there is potential for the use of beta-D(+) glucose-glucose oxidase-catalase as an antioxidant system in pharmaceutical solutions, particularly in terminally autoclaved aqueous formulations for parenteral use.
