Characterization of insulin microcrystals using powder diffraction and multivariate data analysis

چکیده
Twelve different microcrystalline insulin formulations were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction and were shown to have very characteristic patterns. Three of the formulations crystallize in the same crystal system, but have structural differences in the N-terminal B-chain of the insulin molecule. This difference was efficiently detected in the powder patterns. The sensitivity of the method makes it a valuable tool for characterization of microcrystalline samples. By use of principal-component analysis, the twelve different formulations originating from six different crystal systems were classified into nine separate clusters. The powder patterns of each cluster can now be used as ‘fingerprints’ for the different insulin polymorphs. The combination of X-ray powder diffraction and multivariate analysis, such as principal-component analysis, provides a rapid and effective tool for studying the influence of derivatives, additives, ions, pH etc., in the crystallization media.

The best and most detailed structural information is obtained when the diffraction pattern of a single crystal a few tenths of a millimetre in each dimension is analyzed, but growing high-quality crystals of this size is often difficult, sometimes impossible. However, many crystallization experiments that do not yield single crystals do yield showers of randomly oriented microcrystals that can ...

Transmission electron diffraction is used as a qualitative analytical probe of polymethylene chain packing in three conformationally-restricted analogs of tripalmitin derived from configurational isomers of cyclopentane-1,2,3-triol. The analysis demonstrates that the all trans "tuning-fork" conformation seen in X-ray crystal structure analyses on homologous compounds is also found in microcryst...
