Background and ObjectivesA human plasma-derived butyrylcholinesterase preparation manufactured on the industrial scale is described.Material and MethodsThe human butyrylcholinesterase (hBChE) product was extensively investigated for its purity using immunological and electrophoretic methods and characterized by thorough glycoproteomic approaches. A comprehensive preclinical testing programme addressing safety and pharmacokinetic parameters supplemented the biochemical characterization.ResultsThe high-purity hBChE preparation is tetrameric and has high specific activity and molecular integrity of the protein backbone. Acute toxicity studies and in vivo thrombogenicity studies provided evidence of a sufficient safety margin for use in humans.ConclusionExtensive preclinical safety and pharmacokinetic testing confirmed that this hBChE preparation can be used for further efficacy testing as a bioscavenger for toxic organophosphate compounds in appropriate animal models and ultimately in humans.
