Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel method of preparing a taxane derivative having an anti-tumor and anti-leukemia activity, and intermediates used therein.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a novel use of an immunoglobulin Fc fragment, and more particularly, a pharmaceutical composition comprising an immunoglobulin Fc fragment as a carrier. The pharmaceutical composition comprising an immunoglobulin Fc fragment as a carrier remarkably extends the serum half-life of a drug while maintaining the in vivo activity of the drug at relatively high levels. Also, when the drug is a polypeptide drug, the pharmaceutical composition has less risk of inducing immune responses compared to a fusion protein of the immunoglobulin Fc fragment and a target protein, and is thus useful for developing long-acting formulations of various polypeptide drugs.
Abstract:
Optically pure voriconazole can be prepared in a high yield by a) subjecting 1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethanone to Reformatsky-type coupling reaction with a substituted thiopyrimidine derivative to obtain a desired (2R,3S)/(2S,3R)-enantiomeric pair; b) removing the thiol derivative from the enantiomer to obtain racemic voriconazole; and c) isolating the racemic voriconazole by way of optical resolution using an optically active acid.

Abstract:
A recombinant expression vector capable of expressing and secreting an antibody fragment fused with E. coli thermostable enterotoxin signal sequence derivative or E. coli outer membrane protein A (Omp A) signal sequence in the form of a soluble heterozygote protein is used to mass-produce the antibody fragment by culturing a microorganism transformed with the expression vector in a medium and collecting the antibody fragment secreted from the transformed microorganism into the medium.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an inducible high-expression cassette comprising a dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) promoter from which GC-rich repeat sequences are partially or entirely removed, the cassette capable of more effectively improving a gene amplification system. Also disclosed are an expression vector comprising the inducible expression cassette and optionally a gene encoding a recombinant protein of interest, an animal cell line transformed with the expression vector, and a method of mass producing and purifying a recombinant protein by culturing the transformant. The present invention enables the shortening of the time required to establish a cell line producing a recombinant protein of interest at high levels using a low concentration of a DHFR inhibitor, thereby allowing more effective production of the recombinant protein.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A pharmaceutical composition of the present invention which comprises clopidogrel camphorsulfonate of formula (I) or its polymorphic forms as an active ingredient is useful for treating or preventing a platelet aggregation-associated disease.
Abstract:
This invention provides a crystalline S-omeprazole strontium hydrate for the prevention or treatment of gastric acid-related diseases, which has high optical purity, theremostability, solubility and nonhygroscopicity, a method for preparing same, and a pharmaceutical composition containing same.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an Fc fragment modified by a non-peptide polymer, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the Fc fragment modified by the non-peptide polymer as a carrier, a complex of the Fc fragment and a drug via a linker and a pharmaceutical composition comprising such a complex. The Fc fragment modified by a non-peptide peptide according to the present invention lacks immunogenicity and effector functions. Due to these properties, the Fc fragment maintains the in vivo activity of a drug conjugated thereto in high levels, remarkably increases the serum half-life of the drug, and remarkably reduces the risk of inducing immune responses.
