    摘要: The present invention provides methods for treating a flavivirus infection, including hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, in an individual suffering from a flavivirus infection. In some embodiments, the methods involve administering to an individual in need thereof an effective amount of an agent that inhibits enzymatic activity of a membrane-bound α-glucosidase inhibitor. In other embodiments, the methods involve administering to an individual in need thereof effective amounts of an α-glucosidase inhibitor and at least one additional therapeutic agent.

    摘要: The present invention provides synthetic Type I interferon receptor polypeptide agonists comprising consensus or hybrid Type I interferon receptor polypeptide agonists, containing one or more native or non-native glycosylation sites. The present invention provides synthetic Type I interferon receptor polypeptide agonists comprising consensus or hybrid Type I interferon receptor polypeptide agonists, containing one or more native or non-native glycosylation sites, as well as erythropoietin and darbepoetin alfa, each of which are linked to a penetrating peptide that facilitates translocation of a substance across a biological barrier as well as pharmaceutical compositions, including oral formulations, of the same. The present invention further provides oral formulations of hyperglycosylated or protease-resistant, hyperglycosylated polypeptide variants, which polypeptide variants lack at least one protease cleavage site found in a parent polypeptide, and thus exhibit increased protease resistance compared to the parent polypeptide, which polypeptide variants further include (1) a carbohydrate moiety covalently linked to at least one non-native glycosylation site not found in the parent protein therapeutic or (2) a carbohydrate moiety covalently linked to at least one native glycosylation site found but not glycosylated in the parent protein therapeutic. The present invention further provides compositions, including oral pharmaceutical compositions, comprising the synthetic Type I interferon receptor polypeptide agonist, the hyperglycosylated polypeptide variant, or the hyperglycosylated, protease-resistant polypeptide variant. The present invention further provides containers, devices, and kits comprising the synthetic Type I interferon receptor polypeptide agonist, the hyperglycosylated polypeptide variant, or the hyperglycosylated, protease-resistant polypeptide variant. The present invention further provides therapeutic methods involving administering an effective amount of an oral pharmaceutical composition comprising a synthetic Type I interferon receptor polypeptide agonist, a hyperglycosylated polypeptide variant, or a hyperglycosylated, protease-resistant polypeptide variant to an individual in need thereof.
