New Developments in Glutamine Delivery

Abstract: Numerous studies demonstrate that free glutamine can be added to commercially available crystalline amino acid-based preparations before their administration. Instability during heat sterilization and prolonged storage and limited solubility (35 g/L at 20°C) hamper the use of free glutamine in the routine clinical setting. Indeed, there are many well-controlled and valuable trials with free glutamine, yet its use is restricted to clinical research. The obvious limitations of using free glutamine initiated an i… Show more

“…These drawbacks can be overcome by the use of the stable and highly soluble dipeptide, alanyl-glutamine (Ala-Gln) (15). Thus, this study shows the effect of toxin A on important aspects of intestinal barrier integrity and repair, such as cell migration, apoptosis, necrosis, and transepithelial resistance, and demonstrates the protective activity of Gln and its stable derivative AlaGln on both physical injury and toxin A-induced damage (16).…”

“…Rat intestinal jejunal crypt cells (IEC-6, passages [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, MD) and were cultured at 37°C in a 5% CO 2 incubator. The maintenance cell media was Dulbecco's modified eagle media (DMEM; Gibco BRL, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with 5% fetal calf serum (FCS), 5 mg bovine insulin, 50 μg/ml penicillin/streptomycin (DMEM; Gibco BRL, Grand Island, NY), and a final concentration of 1 mM sodium pyruvate.…”

“…Glutamine supplementation in rats pretreated with toxic doses of methotrexate enables reduction in the severity of the intestinal mucositis [17] and improves intestinal permeability in patients treated with 5-FU and folinic acid [18]. Although glutamine has been shown to reduce diarrhea duration in children [19][20][21] and is generally recognized to be a conditionally essential amino acid in the critically ill patient [22], there remains a debate regarding the efficacy of glutamine due to its limited solubility, stimulating the pursuit of more stable glutamine compounds for clinical use [23,24].…”

“…Este fato deve-se à limitada solubilidade da glutamina em água (35 g/L de água, a 20 o C) (Furst, 2001), bem como à possível neurotoxicidade decorrente dos produtos da decomposição desse aminoácido: ácido piroglutâmico e amônia (Furst, Albers, Stehle, 1990). Uma alternativa que possibilita a adição de glutamina a fórmulas parenterais consiste na utilização de dipeptídeos contendo glutamina, como o L-alanil-L-glutamina, que permanece estável durante a esterilização com calor e é altamente solúvel em água (568 g/L) (Furst, 2001). Todavia, há escassez de estudos envolvendo a suplementação com dipeptídeos contendo glutamina para neonatos PT e com BPN.…”
