  • Patent number: 11957732
    Abstract: The present invention discloses compositions and methods for selectively delivering apoptosis inducing agents to the tumor prior to conventional therapeutic treatment protocol. Specifically, the present invention relates to an ensemble (or ‘AAAPT bioconjugate’) comprising an apoptogen (A) and a tumor targeting group (T), wherein the apoptogen is either connected directly to the targeting group or optionally attached through an intervening linker (L). The apoptogen may be a small or large molecule that activates apoptosis pathway and causes cell death. The targeting vector may be a small or large molecule that delivers the apoptogen selectively to the tumors. The linker may comprise simple alkylene chain or may contain functional groups that are capable of being cleaved by enzymatic process.

  • Patent number: 11952402
    Abstract: A recombinant protein includes a TRAIL domain and an IgG binding domain IgBD. In the recombinant protein, IgBD can be fused at the N-terminus or C-terminus of the TRAIL domain. The anti-tumor effect of the recombinant protein after binding to endogenous or exogenous IgG is significantly stronger than that of TRAIL, and can be used in the treatment of cell proliferative diseases with high expression of death receptors.
