摘要:
Polymers containing amino acid and/or polypeptide moieties in their backbones or pendant to their backbones are made by metathesis. A method of making an amino acid or polypeptide containing polymer includes the steps of: providing a amino acid, amino alcohol, or polypeptide-containing monomer; forming a reaction mixture by contacting the monomer with an agent capable of catalyzing the polymerization of the monomer into a polymer; and placing the reaction mixture under conditions that result in the formation of the polymer in reaction mixture.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for treating obesity, a method for reducing the absorption of dietary fat, and a method for treating hypertriglyceridemia in a patient and to particular polymers for use in the methods or in a manufacture of a medicament. The methods comprise the step of orally administering to a mammal, such as a human, a therapeutically effective amount of one or more fat-binding polymers. The administration of the fat-binding polymer of the invention facilitates the removal of fat from the body prior to digestion, with minimal side effects and low toxicity. In a preferred embodiment, the one or more fat-binding polymers are administered in combination with one or more lipase inhibitors, for example, lipstatin and tetrahydrolipstatin.
摘要:
An antiviral compound comprises a linear non-carbohydrate polymer having a plurality of side chain groups, wherein at least one of the side chain groups has an anionic- or cationic-containing moiety bonded or linked thereto.
摘要:
An adsorbent or bradykinin comprising styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer having sulfonic acid groups and a method for adsorbing and removing bradykinin comprising contacting the adsorbent with a fluid containing bradykinin are provided. An adsorber for adsorbing bradykinin in which the adsorbent is charged in a vessel having an inlet and an outlet for a fluid is also provided.
