  • Patent number: 10155046
    Abstract: Derivatives of PSAs are synthesised, in which a reducing and/or non-reducing end terminal sialic acid unit is transformed into a N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) group. The derivatives may be reacted with substrates, for instance substrates containing amine or hydrazine groups, to form non-cross-linked/crosslinked polysialylated compounds. The substrates may, for instance, be therapeutically useful drugs, peptides or proteins or drug delivery systems.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 19, 2015
    Date of Patent: December 18, 2018
    Assignee: Lipoxen Technologies Limited
    Inventors: Sanjay Jain, Ioannis Papaioannou, Smita Thobhani

  • Publication number: 20150344591
    Abstract: An amine or hydrazide derivative of a sialic acid unit, e.g. in a polysaccharide, is reacted with a bifunctional reagent at least one of the functionalities of which is an ester of N-hydroxy succinimide, to form an amide or hydrazide product. The product has a useful functionality, which allows it to be conjugated, for instance to proteins, drugs, drug delivery systems or the like. The process is of particular utility for derivatising amine groups introduced in sialic acid terminal groups of polysialic acids.
