摘要:
Conjugates of transferrin, albumin and polyethylence glycol consisting of native or thiolated transferrin or albumin or of polyethylene glycol (MW between approximately 5,000 and 20,0000) with at least one HS—, HO— or H2N group and cytostatic compounds derived through maleinimide or N-hydroxysuccinimide ester compounds, such as doxorubicin, daunorubicin, epirubicin, idarubicin, mitoxandrone, chloroambucil, melphalan, 5-fluorouracyl, 5′-desoxy-5-fluorouridine, thioguanine, methotrexate, paclitaxel, docetaxel, topotecan, 9-aminocamptothecin, etoposide, teniposide, mitopodoside, vinblastine, vincristine, vindesine, vinorelbine or a compound of general formula A, B, C or D, where n=0-6, X=—NH2, —OH, —COOH, —O—CO—R—COR*, —NH—CO—R—COR*, where R is an aliphatic carbon chain with 1-6 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted phenylene group and R* H, phenyl, alkyl with 1-6 carbon atoms.
摘要:
A therapeutic formulation comprising a microemulsion of a therapeutic agent in free and/or conjugatively coupled form, wherein the microemulsion comprises a water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion including a lipophilic phase and a hydrophilic phase, and has a hydrophilic and lipophilic balance (HLB) value between 3 and 7, wherein the therapeutic agent may for example be selected from the group consisting of insulin, calcitonin, ACTH, glucagon, somatostatin, somatotropin, somatomedin, parathyroid hormone, erythropoietin, hypothalamic releasing factors, prolactin, thyroid stimulating hormones, endorphins, enkephalins, vasopressin, non-naturally occurring opioids, superoxide dismutase, interferon, asparaginase, arginase, arginine deaminease, adenosine deaminase, ribonuclease, trypsin, chymotrypsin, papain, Ara-A (Arabinofuranosyladenine), Acylguanosine, Nordeoxyguanosine, Azidothymidine, Dideoxyadenosine, Dideoxycytidine, Dideoxyinosine Floxuridine, 6-Mercaptopurine, Doxorubicin, Daunorubicin, or I-darubicin, Erythromycin, Vancomycin, oleandomycin, Ampicillin; Quinidine and Heparin. In a particular aspect, the invention comprises an insulin composition suitable for parenteral as well as non-parenteral administration, preferably oral or parenteral administration, comprising insulin covalently coupled with a polymer including (i) a linear polyalkylene glycol moiety and (ii) a lipophilic moiety, wherein the insulin, the linear polyalkylene glycol moiety and the lipophilic moiety are conformationally arranged in relation to one another such that the insulin in the composition has an enhanced in vivo resistance to enzymatic degradation, relative to insulin alone. The microemulsion compositions of the invention are usefully employed in therapeutic as well as non-therapeutic, e.g., diagnostic, applications.

摘要:
Compositions and processes to alleviate free radical toxicity are disclosed based on the use of nitroxides in association with physiologically compatible macromolecules. In particular, hemoglobin-based red cell substitutes are described featuring stable nitroxide free radicals for use in cell-free hemoglobin solutions, encapsulated hemoglobin solutions, stabilized hemoglobin solutions, polymerized hemoglobin solutions, conjugated hemoglobin solutions, nitroxide-labelled albumin, and nitroxide-labelled immunoglobulin. Formulations are described herein that interact with free radicals, acting as antioxidant enzyme-mimics, which preserve nitroxides in their active form in vivo. Applications are described including blood substitutes, radioprotective agents, imaging agents, agents to protect against ischemia and reperfusion injury, particularly in cerebral ischemia in stroke, and in vivo enzyme mimics among others.
