摘要:
The present invention is directed to phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) variants produced by prokaryotes, wherein such prokaryotic PAL variant has a greater phenylalanine-converting activity and/or a reduced immunogenicity as compared to a wild-type PAL. The invention provides compositions of prokaryotic PAL and biologically active fragments, mutants, variants or analogs thereof, as well as methods for the production, purification, and use of such compositions for therapeutic purposes, including the treatment of cancer.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides a method that efficiently produces (6R)-tetrahydrobiopterin in high yield and purity. The method includes the step of hydrolyzing diacetylbiopterin to biopterin under basic conditions in a biphasic mixture comprising an organic phase and an aqueous phase. After substantially complete hydrolysis of diacetylbiopterin, the aqueous phase containing biopterin can be separated from the organic phase containing most of the organic impurities, which avoids the time-consuming step of isolating biopterin as a solid. The aqueous solution containing biopterin is stereoselectively hydrogenated to (6R)-tetrahydrobiopterin under basic conditions and high hydrogen pressure in the presence of a metal catalyst (e.g., a platinum catalyst). To improve the purification of an acid addition salt of (6R)-tetrahydrobiopterin (e.g., (6R)-tetrahydrobiopterin dihydrochloride), any residual salts (e.g., sodium salts) in the aqueous solution after the hydrogenation reaction can be removed by contacting the aqueous solution with an ion (e.g., cation) exchange resin or column. Alternatively, removal of residual salts from the aqueous solution can be omitted if an organic amine (e.g., diethylamine or triethylamine) rather than an inorganic base is used in the hydrolysis and/or hydrogenation reactions.

摘要:
The invention provides bioconjugates of the formula: in which A is an active agent comprising an active hydroxy or amino functionality and B is a biopolymer comprising an active hydroxy or amino functionality, and X1 and X2 are independently N or O, and R is substituted alkyl or unsubstituted alkyl or unsubstituted or substituted heteroalkyl from 1 to about 30 atoms in length. The biopolymer may for instance be a transport protein or an antibody directed to a transport protein (e.g., a p97 protein or antibody thereto). The active agent may be a therapeutic agent such as a chemotherapeutic agent or an antineoplastic agent or an enzyme. The bioconjugates find therapeutic usages according to the therapeutic indications of the active agent. Methods of making the bioconjugates and bifunctional isocyanate cross linking reagents of use in making such bioconjugates are provided.
