摘要:
Compounds which directly inhibit IRE-1a activity in vitro, prodrugs, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Such compounds and prodrugs are useful for treating diseases associated with the unfolded protein response or with regulated IRE1-dependent decay (RIDD) and can be used as single agents or in combination therapies.
摘要:
A breath-powered, dry powder inhaler, a cartridge, and a pulmonary drug delivery system are provided. The dry powder inhaler can be provided with or without a unit dose cartridge for using with the inhaler. The inhaler and/or cartridge can be provided with a drug delivery formulation comprising, for example, a diketopiperazine and an active ingredient, including, peptides and proteins such as insulin and glucagon-like peptide 1 for the treatment of diabetes and/or obesity. The dry powder inhaler is compact; can be provided in various shapes and sizes, colors, and comprises a housing, a mouthpiece, a cartridge placement area, and a mechanism for opening and closing the medicament cartridge. The device is easy to manufacture, provides a pre-metered single unit dose, it is relatively easy to use, and can be reusable or disposable.
摘要:
A method of introducing a physiologically-active agent into the circulatory system of a mammal is disclosed herein. The method utilizes a rapid drug delivery system which prevents deactivation or degradation of the active agent being administered to a patient in need of treatment. In particular, the drug delivery system is designed for pulmonary drug delivery such as by inhalation, for delivery of the active agents such as proteins and peptides to the pulmonary circulation in a therapeutically effective manner avoiding degradation of the active agents in peripheral and vascular tissue before reaching the target site.
摘要:
A composition is disclosed comprising glucagon- like peptide 1 (GLP-I) particles in combination with diketopiperazine (DKP) that is stable both in vitro and in vivo. The composition has utility as a pharmaceutical formulation for treating diseases such as diabetes, cancers, and obesity but is not limited to such diseases or conditions. In particularly, the composition has utility as a pharmaceutical formulation for pulmonary delivery.
摘要:
The present invention includes use of a biological response modifier (BRM) to modulate an immune response in a subject while avoiding or limiting common side-effects associate with BRM use. The BRMs of the present invention can be injected into a secondary lymphatic organ of the subject or into an area of relatively high drainage into a secondary lymphatic organ of the subject. The modulated immune response can be general or antigen-specific.
摘要:
Embodiments of the invention disclosed herein relate to methods and compositions for bypassing the involvement of CD4+ cells when generating antibody and MHC class I-restricted immune responses, controlling the nature and magnitude of the response, and promoting effective immunologic intervention in viral pathogenesis. More specifically, embodiments relate to immunogenic compositions for vaccination particularly therapeutic vaccination, against HIV and other microbial pathogens that impact functioning of the immune system, their nature, and the order, timing, and route of administration by which they are effectively used.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods for matching a cancer condition with an appropriate immunotherapeutic agent and/or regimen. Also disclosed are methods for confirming diagnosis of a particular type of cancer. Embodiments of the invention disclosed herein are directed to the use of effective combinations of TuAAs to optimize the match between a patient's cancer condition and available immunotherapies.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are polypeptides, including epitopes, clusters, and antigens. Also disclosed are compositions including said polypeptides and methods for their use.
摘要:
A pulmonary drug delivery system is disclosed, including a breath-powered, dry powder inhaler, with or without a cartridge for delivering a dry powder formulation. The inhaler and cartridge can be provided with a drug delivery formulation comprising, for example, a diketopiperazine and an active ingredient, including, small organic molecules, peptides and proteins, including, hormones such as insulin and glucagon-like peptide 1 for the treatment of disease and disorders, for example, diseases and disorders, including endocrine disease such as diabetes and/or obesity.
