摘要:
The present invention provides a non-naturally occurring High-Density Lipoprotein-like peptide-phospholipid scaffold (“HPPS”) nanoparticle. More particularly, the invention provides a non-naturally occurring peptide-lipid nanoscaffold comprising: (a) at least one phospholipid; (b) at least one unsaturated lipid, preferably an unsaturated sterol ester, further preferably an unsaturated cholesterol ester, further preferably cholsteryl oleate; and (c) at least one peptide, the peptide comprising an amino acid sequence capable of forming at least one amphipathic a-helix; wherein the components a), b) and c) associate to form the peptide-phospholipid nanoscaffold. In embodiments of the present invention, a cell surface receptor ligand is incorporated into the HPPS. In one embodiment, the cell surface receptor ligand is covalently bonded to the peptide scaffold of the HPPS nanoparticles. In other embodiments, a cell surface receptor ligand is coupled to a lipid anchor and is displayed on the surface of the HPPS nanoparticles by incorporation of the lipid anchor into the phospholipids monolayer of the HPPS nanoparticle. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical formulations comprising HPPS nanoparticles and methods of making the HPPS nanoparticles.
摘要:
Therapeutic complexes comprising plural therapeutic compounds self assembled into high axial ratio microstructures are described. The therapeutic complexes satisfy the formula HARM-Th, wherein HARM is a high axial ratio forming material and Th is a therapeutic coupled to or associated with the HARM. The therapeutic complexes also can satisfy the formula HARM- S- Th, wherein S is a spacer. Release of the therapeutic by the complex generally follows either 0-order kinetics or pseudo-first order kinetics. A method for delivering therapeutics to organisms, particularly humans, also is described. The method comprises administering an effective amount of (1) a ligand, such as a therapeutic, self-assembled into a HAR microstructure, or (2) a ligand, such as a therapeutic, coupled to or associated with a material capable of thereafter self-assembling into a high axial ratio microstructure, to the mammal. Nucleic acids are an example of a ligand that can be administered effectively according to this method through noncovalent attachment to the HARM-forming materials.
