20080299039 | Aprotinin Polypeptides for Transporting a Compound Across the Blood-Brain Barrier - The invention relates to improvements in the field of drug delivery. More particularly, the invention relates to polypeptides derived from aprotinin and from aprotinin analogs as well as conjugates and pharmaceutical compositions comprising these polypeptides or conjugates. The present invention also relates to the use of these polypeptide for transporting a compound or drug across the blood-brain barrier of a mammal and in the treatment and diagnosis of neurological diseases. | 12-04-2008 |
20090016959 | Delivery of antibodies to the central nervous system - The invention relates to improvements in the field of drug delivery. More particularly, the invention relates to polypeptide derived from aprotinin and from aprotinin analogs as well as conjugates and pharmaceutical compositions comprising these polypeptides. The present invention also relates to the use of these polypeptide for transporting an antibody or antibody fragment across the blood-brain barrier of an individual and in the treatment and diagnosis of neurological diseases. | 01-15-2009 |
20090082277 | Potentiation of anticancer agents - The present invention relates to carriers, conjugate and pharmaceutical compositions and their use to increase the potency of drugs and to modify the pharmacokinetics of compounds. More particularly, the present invention relates to conjugates comprising the carrier described herein and their use in the treatment and diagnostic of cancer. | 03-26-2009 |
20100297120 | APROTININ-LIKE POLYPEPTIDES FOR DELIVERING AGENTS CONJUGATED THERETO TO TISSUES - Based on our identification of a polypeptide (Angiopep-7) that is efficiently transported to cells such as liver, lung, kidney, spleen, and muscle, the invention provides polypeptides, conjugates including the polypeptides, and methods for treating diseases associated with these cell types. Unlike other aprotinin related polypeptides identified herein (including Angiopep-3, Angiopep-4a Angiopep-4b Angiopep-5, and Angiopep-6) which efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), Angiopep-7 is not efficiently transported across the BBB. | 11-25-2010 |
20110039785 | POLYPEPTIDE-NUCLEIC ACID CONJUGATES AND USES THEREOF - The present invention is directed to polypeptide-nucleic acid conjugates. These conjugates can allow for targeted application of a therapeutic RNAi agent across the blood-brain barrier to treat, for example, a cancer, neurodegenerative disease, or lysosomal storage disorder. | 02-17-2011 |
20110112036 | PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS OF PACLITAXEL, PACLITAXEL ANALOGS OR PACLITAXEL CONJUGATES AND RELATED METHODS OF PREPARATION AND USE - Pharmaceutical compositions useful for hydrophobic agents paclitaxel, paclitaxel analogs and conjugates thereof (e g ANG1005) which do not contain Cremophorâ„¢ The compositions further comprise an optional tonicity agent, a buffering agent a bulking agent and a solubilizmg agent which is not Cremophorâ„¢ Methods of preparing said compositions and of said compositions in the treatment of cancer are also included. | 05-12-2011 |
20110171128 | APROTININ POLYPEPTIDES FOR TRANSPORTING A COMPOUND ACROSS THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER - The invention relates to improvements in the field of drug delivery. More particularly, the invention relates to polypeptides derived from aprotinin and from aprotinin analogs as well as conjugates and pharmaceutical compositions comprising these polypeptides or conjugates. The present invention also relates to the use of these polypeptides for transporting a compound or drug across the blood-brain barrier of a mammal and in the treatment and diagnosis of neurological diseases. | 07-14-2011 |
20120277158 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE TRANSPORT OF THERAPEUTIC AGENTS - The present invention is directed to conjugates that include a polypeptide capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier or entering one or more cell types attached to a transport vector, i.e., a composition capable of transporting an agent (e.g., a therapeutic agent). In certain cases, the polypeptides are directly conjugated to a lipid or polymeric vector to allow targeted application of a therapeutic agent to treat, for example, a cancer, a neurodegenerative disease, or a lysosomal storage disorder. | 11-01-2012 |
