General description

Trehalose is a non-reducing sugar, which is formed when two glucose units are joined by a 1-1 alpha bond. This disaccharide is present naturally in several organisms like both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Application

D-(+)-Trehalose dihydrate has been used:
  • in trehalose test to stabilize pharmaceutical products
  • as a component of trehalose/sucrose solution for the preparation of J-aggregates
  • in the preparation of simulated honey sugar cocktail (SHSC) to study its effect on chemical and thermal stability of proteins

Biochem/physiol Actions

Trehalose is a 1-alpha (disaccharide) sugar that supports plants and animals to withstand extended periods of desiccation. Trehalose acts as a cryoprotectant in a variety of cell freezing media. It serves as a primary carbon source and as a compatible solute accumulated as a response to osmotic stress and heat shock.

The CHARMM36 carbohydrate parameter set did not adequately reproduce experimental thermodynamic data of carbohydrate interactions with water or proteins or carbohydrate self-association; thus, a new nonbonded parameter set for carbohydrates was developed. The parameters were developed to reproduce experimental Kirkwood-Buff

The importance of cake adhesion to the inside vial wall during lyophilization of amorphous trehalose cakes was determined by using hydrophobized vials. The degrees of cake shrinkage and cracking were determined independently by photographic imaging of the cake top surface

In frozen and lyophilized systems, the biological to be stabilized (e.g. therapeutic protein, biomarker, drug-delivery vesicle) and the cryo-/lyo-protectant should be co-localized for successful stabilization. During freezing and drying, many factors cause physical separation of the biological from the cryo-/lyo-protectant
