The magnitude of preferential exclusion for trehalose, sucrose and sorbitol correlates well with their partial molar volumes in solution. Mannitol is excluded to a greater extent than that expected from its partial molar volume, suggesting specific interactions of mannitol that might be different than the other sugars and polyols tested in this study. Local interactions play a role in the effect of excipient addition on the reversible self-association of mAbs. These results provide further insights into the stabilization of high-concentration mAb formulations by sugars and polyols.
