Abstract:
Disclosed is a nanoparticle system consisting of a polymer support or substrate in the form of nanoparticles to which a hydrolase enzyme able to degrade hyaluronic acid and one or more biologically and/or pharmacologically active molecules are covalently bonded, its preparation process and its uses in the diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic fields.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a derivative of carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) having formula (1), obtained by the functionalization of hyaluronic acid with carnosine.
Abstract:
The invention relates to Streptomyces koganeiensis ATCC 31394 hyaluronidase having molecular weight of 21.6 kDalton, which has hyaluronidase activity and stability markedly higher than those of the hyaluronidase obtained from such microorganism to date. The invention further relates to a process for the isolation and purification of said hyaluronidase and its use for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions or as an analytical reagent.
Abstract:
Pharmaceutical compositions are described containing Hyaluronic Acid and Carnosine for use in the treatment and prevention of osteoarthritis (OA) and for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the production of hyaluronic acid (HA) in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli through plasmid vectors wherein the gene is under the control of strong promoter P grac , and a system for the selection of stable bacterial strains for the production of high levels of hyaluronic acid.
