摘要:
The invention relates to a method for obtaining thymosins and/or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof by means of solid-phase synthesis on polymeric supports, which comprises the steps of linearly synthesizing the thymus-derived peptides in solid phase, incorporating at least one Thr or Ser in the sequence, in pseudoproline dipeptide form, obtaining the thymosins by treating the peptidyl resin with trifluoroacetic acid, and purifying the thymosins by RP-HPLC. The present invention also protects the isolated and/or purified compound obtained by means of said method and also the use thereof in the preparation of a medicinal product.
摘要:
Pharmaceutical compositions that include thymosin alpha 1 peptide derivatives modified at the C-terminal of the peptide chain with polyethylene glycol, and their pharmaceutical acceptable salts, are generally disclosed. Also, new methods used to prepare these thymosin alpha 1 peptide derivatives modified at the C-terminal of the peptide chain with polyethylene glycol are generally provided. The presently disclosed compounds and their salts can be prepared administered to humans to treat immune disease and can also be used in adjuvant treatment.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a peptide comprising a specific amino acid sequence possessing human thymosin β-4 (Tβ4) activities and its uses. The peptide of this invention has identical or similar functions or actions to human Tβ4 and its biological activity is almost identical to natural-occurring Tβ4. In addition, the peptide of this invention exhibits much higher stability and skin permeation than natural-occurring Tβ4. In these connections, the composition comprising the peptides of this invention can exhibit excellent efficacies on improvement in thymosin β-4-effective disorders or conditions. In addition, the peptide of this invention can be advantageously applied to drugs, cosmetics, toothpaste and compositions for mouth cleaning and caring, most preferably, cosmetics. Specifically, the peptide of this invention is advantageously applied to cosmetics for promoting hair growth.
摘要:
The present invention relates to use of oxidised thymosin β4 in therapy, more particularly in the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with an inflammatory response or septic shock. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical formulations comprising oxidised thymosin β4 together with a suitable excipient.
摘要:
The invention relates to newly discovered marker polypeptides associated with endometriosis. Compositions, kits, and methods for detecting, characterizing, preventing, and treating endometriosis are provided.
摘要:
The present inventors have now discovered that humans have a gene that encodes a novel protein of the thymosin null family. This novel protein, herein referred to as thymosin null 15, has the ability to bind and sequester G-actin, like other members of the thymosin null family, but unlike what is known about other members it also directly regulates cell motility in prostatic carcinoma cells. The present invention is direct to an isolated cDNA encoding the human thymosin null 15 gene (SEQ ID NO: 1) and have deduced the amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 2).
