Standard Guide for Evaluation of <emph type="ital">in vitro</emph> Release of Biomolecules from Biomaterials Scaffolds for TEMPs
评价<emph type="ital">体外</emph>生物分子从生物材料支架上释放的标准指南
1.1
To describe general principles of developing and/or using an
in vitro
assay to evaluate biomolecule release from biomaterials scaffolds for TEMPs, with examples from the literature
1.2
The guide will address scaffolds that do not contain seeded cells; general principles may still apply but may need to be modified if cells are part of the TEMPs.
1.3
In vitro
release assessment of biomolecules from matrices is a valuable tool for screening biomolecule-scaffold interactions, as well as characterization, and/or quality control.
1.4
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.5
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.6
This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
====== Significance And Use ======
4.1
European and U.S. Pharmacopeia provide test methods for measuring release of a drug analyte, and USP <1001> provides a method that is intended to be applicable to implanted products. However, the characterization of biomaterial scaffolds that release biomolecules presents unique challenges not present in other drug or drug-releasing products.
4.2
An appropriately designed
in vitro
release test would be favorable in the early stage of development of biomolecule-releasing scaffolds for TEMPs, as well as in quality control, and may help to reduce the number of animal experiments.
4.3
Appendix X1
provides a tabulated overview of published
in vitro
release studies performed with biomaterial scaffolds loaded with biomolecules.
4.4
One goal of
in vitro
release studies is to simulate the
in vivo
conditions as closely as possible, but with sufficiently simplifying abstraction. The simplification comprises two general aspects: the amount of fluid or release medium in contact with the implant to simulate the physiological environment, and the composition of that release medium.
