Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel, high-yield and low-cost method for preparing entecavir, [1-S-(1α,3α,4β)]-2-amino-1,9-dihydro-9-[4-hydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylenecyclopentyl]-6H-purin-6-one, an antiviral agent, and novel intermediates used therein.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an insulinotropic peptide conjugate having improved in-vivo duration of efficacy and stability, comprising an insulinotropic peptide, a non-peptide polymer and an immunoglobulin Fc region, which are covalently linked to each other, and a use of the same. The insulinotropic peptide conjugate of the present invention has the in-vivo activity which is maintained relatively high, and has remarkably increased blood half-life, and thus it can be desirably employed in the development of long acting formulations of various peptide drugs.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a protein complex, comprising a physiologically active polypeptide, a dimeric protein and a non-peptidyl polymer having three functional ends (3-arm), with the linkage of both the physiologically active polypeptide and the dimeric protein to the 3-arm non-peptidyl polymer via respective covalent bonds. The protein complex guarantees the long acting activity and biostability of a physiologically active polypeptide. Having the ability to maintain the bioactivity of physiologically active polypeptides or peptides highly and to significantly improve the serum half life of the polypeptides or peptides, the protein complex can be applied to the development of sustained release formulations of various physiologically active polypeptide drugs. Also, it utilizes raw materials including the physiologically active polypeptides without significant loss, thereby increasing the production yield. Further, it can be easily purified.
Abstract:
Provided is an improved method for stereoselectively preparing 2′-deoxy-2′,2′-difluorocytidine of formula (I), which includes reacting a 1-halo ribofuranose compound with a nucleobase of formula (IV) in a solvent to obtain a nucleo side of formula (II) with removal of a silyl halide ((alkyl)3SiX (X=halide)); and deprotecting the nucleoside of formula (II) to obtain 2′-deoxy-2′,2′-difluorocytidine of formula (I). 2′-Deoxy-2′,2′-difluorocytidine of formula (I) is effective for treating various cancers such as non-small cell lung (NSCLC), pancreatic, bladder, breast or ovarian cancers.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a novel amide derivative and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which selectively and effectively inhibits the growth of cancer cells induced by the overexpression of an epidermal growth factor receptor and also prevents the development of drug resistance caused by the mutation of EGFR tyrosine kinase, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising same as an active ingredient.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a protein conjugate with improved in vivo duration and stability and the use thereof. The protein conjugate includes a physiologically active polypeptide, a non-peptide polymer and an immunoglobulin Fc fragment. Since the three components are covalently linked, the protein conjugate has extended in vivo duration and enhanced stability for the physiologically active polypeptide. The protein conjugate maintains the in vivo activity at relatively high levels and remarkably increases the serum half-life for the physiologically active polypeptide, with less risk of inducing undesirable immune responses. Thus, the protein conjugate is useful for developing long-acting formulations of various polypeptide drugs.
