77 results about "Alternate pathway" patented technology

The alternative pathway of the complement system is an innate component of the immune system's natural defense against infections. The alternative pathway is one of three complement pathways that opsonize and kill pathogens. The pathway is triggered when the C3b protein directly binds a microbe.

Compounds useful in the complement, coagulat and kallikrein pathways and method for their preparation

InactiveUS6653340B1BiocideOrganic chemistryHigh-molecular-weight kininogenKinin
The present invention is concerned with new compounds, and particularly those having a fused bicyclic ring substituted with an amidine moiety. These compounds are each potent inhibitors of Factor D of the alternate pathway of complement, C1s of the classical pathway of complement, Factors Xa, XIIa, VIIa and thrombin of the coagulation pathway, plasmin in the fibrinolytic pathway, and kallikrein and high molecular weight kininogen in the inflammatory pathways. These proteases, which have serine in their active site, are called serine proteases and they are pivotal to most of the processes of inflammation and coagulation. In fact, these various systems are interactive with one another and it is difficult to activate one pathway without it influencing the others.

Methods for Treating Conditions Associated with MASP-2 Dependent Complement Activation

In one aspect, the invention provides methods of inhibiting the effects of MASP-2-dependent complement activation in a living subject suffering from, or at risk for developing a thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). The methods comprise the step of administering, to a subject in need thereof, an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent effective to inhibit MASP-2-dependent complement activation. In some embodiments, the MASP-2 inhibitory agent inhibits cellular injury associated with MASP-2-mediated alternative complement pathway activation, while leaving the classical (C1q-dependent) pathway component of the immune system intact.

Humaneered Anti-factor b antibody

This invention relates to humaneered anti-factor B antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof with reduced immunogenicity. The humaneered anti-factor B antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof are derived from murine monoclonal antibody 1379, which binds factor B in the third short consensus repeat (“SCR”) domain and selectively inhibits activation of the alternative complement pathway by preventing formation of the C3bBb complex. The invention also relates to methods of treating diseases or disorders in which activation of the alternative complement pathway plays a role, and methods of selectively inhibiting activation of the alternative complement pathway in an individual in need thereof.

Methods for treating disseminated intravascular coagulation by inhibiting MASP-2 dependent complement activation

In one aspect, the invention provides methods of inhibiting the effects of MASP-2-dependent complement activation in a living subject. In one embodiment, the invention provides methods of treating a subject suffering from a complement mediated coagulation disorder, such as disseminated intravascular coagulation. The methods comprise the step of administering, to a subject in need thereof, an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent effective to inhibit MASP-2-dependent complement activation. In some embodiments, the MASP-2 inhibitory agent inhibits cellular injury associated with MASP-2-mediated alternative complement pathway activation, while leaving the classical (C1q-dependent) pathway component of the immune system intact. In another aspect, the invention provides compositions for inhibiting the effects of lectin-dependent complement activation, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
