  • Patent number: 9918935
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a physiologically active peptide-loaded stable composition for injection into living bodies. [Solution] A composition containing a triblock copolymer represented by formula (I), a polyanionic polymer and a physiologically active peptide: CNR-PEG-CNR??(I) in the formula, CNR moieties are each independently a polymer segment containing a repeating unit that contains, as a part of a pendant group, a cyclic nitroxide radical bonded to a main polymer chain via a linking group that contains at least one amino group, and PEG is a segment that contains poly(ethylene glycol).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 10, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 20, 2018
    Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF TSUKUBA, A JAPANESE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
