Abstract: Disclosed herein are conjugates of a therapeutic compound and polypeptides, such as a conjugate of niclosamide and an elastin-like polypeptide. These conjugates may form nanoparticles through self-assembly, which improve the solubility, bioavailability, and pharmacokinetic profiles of the therapeutic compound. Also disclosed are methods for treating cancer, parasite infection, bacterial infection, viral infection, metabolic diseases, Type II diabetes, NASH, NAFLD, artery constriction, endometriosis, neuropathic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, sclerodermatous graft-versus-host disease, and systemic sclerosis.

Abstract: Liposomal compositions comprising of liposomes of guanidinylated cationic amphiphiles as the main lipid and cholesterol/1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC)/aminopropyl polyethyleneglycol carbamyl-distearoylphosphatidyl-ethanolamine (DSPE-peg-NH2) as co-lipids are described. These liposomal compositions containing encapsulated or electrostatically complexed therapeutic small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against Cdc20, a key cell cycle regulator, inhibit solid tumor growth and melanoma tumor growth on lung in C57BL/6J mice.

Abstract: The present invention provides method and pharmaceutical composition for efficient delivery of siRNA (small interfering ribonucleic acids) into cultured mammalian cells. In addition, the present invention provides methods and compositions for knocking down the expression of a specific target gene by treating cells with the formulations comprising cationic amphiphile, a neutral colipid and a small RNA molecule. We demonstrate that our method delivers siRNA efficaciously into animal cells for the purpose of RNA interference. The area of medical science that is likely to benefit most from the present invention is RNAi therapeutics.
