Preparation of protein microparticles by supercritical fluid precipitation

InactiveUS6063910AUniform and fine particle sizePowder deliveryPeptide/protein ingredientsMicroparticleSolvent
The present invention comprises passing a solution of a soluble material, preferably a protein, in a solvent through a continuum of supercritical antisolvent fluid and precipitating the soluble material. This can be conducted by passing the solution through the continuum of supercrital fluid in the form of droplets, which can be sprayed through the supercritical fluid. The plurality of droplets can be passed cocurrently or countercurrently with respect to a stream of antisolvent fluid. Alternatively, the solution can be passed through the continuum of supercritical antisolvent fluid in the form of a thin film or a plurality of fine streams.

Non-aqueous single phase vehicles and formulations utilizing such vehicles

The present invention includes materials and methods for providing vehicles useful for providing drug formulations that address the potential drawbacks of known nonaqueous formulations. In particular, the present invention includes nonaqueous vehicles that are formed using a combination of polymer and solvent that results in a vehicle that is miscible in water. The nonaqueous vehicles facilitate the formulation of drug formulations that are stable over time, even when stored at, or exposed to, elevated temperatures. Moreover, the miscible vehicles of the present invention allow the preparation of drug formulations that work to reduce the occurrence of partial or complete occlusions of the delivery conduits included in delivery devices used to administer the drug formulations.

Novel PEGylation agent

To address the issue of degradation by enzymatic reactions to proteins and peptides, polyethylene glycol (PEGylation) of the proteins and peptides has been established. PEGylated proteins and peptides have increased plasma half-lives and reduced immunogenicity. To further improve and extend the plasma half-life of desired protein or peptide therapeutics, a novel branched molecule of PEG possessing three PEGs with a single point of attachment is designed in this invention disclosure.

Urocortin-III and uses thereof

InactiveUS6953838B2Nervous disorderPeptide/protein ingredientsHigh homologyHuman genome database
A search of the public human genome database identified a human EST, GenBank accession number AW293249, which has high homology to known pufferfish urocortin sequences. The full length sequence was amplified from human genomic DNA and sequenced. Sequence homology comparisons of the novel sequence with human urocortin I and urocortin II revealed that the sequence encoded a novel human urocortin, which was designated urocortin III (UcnIII). While urocortin III does not have high affinity for either CRF-R1 or CRF-R2, the affinity for CRF-R2 is greater than the affinity for CRF-R1. Urocortin III is capable stimulating cyclic AMP production in cells expressing CRF-R2α or β. Thus, the affinity is high enough that urocortin III could act as a native agonist of CRF-R2. However, it is also likely that urocortin III is a stronger agonist of a yet to be identified receptor.
