Patent number: 8999931Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition using natural gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), and/or some of its mimetic peptides, indistinctly bound by its amino or carboxyl extremes to a carrier molecule; in one case by its carboxyl extreme and in the other case by the amino terminal extreme, thus eliciting a faster and more potent immunological response against the endogenous GnRH hormone. This finally leads to the ablation of the GnRH and consequently of the rest of the involved hormones in the stream GnRH/LH-FSH/Testosterone-(estrogens). An advantage of this formulation consists on facilitating the exposition to the immune system of a greater number of epitopes of the GnRH or its mimetics, minimizing thus the steric hindrance produced by the carriers.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2009Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Centro de Ingenieria Genetica y BiotecnologiaInventors: Jesus Arturo Junco Barranco, Osvaldo Reyes Acosta, Eddy Emilio Bover Fuentes, Franklin Fuentes Aguilar, Eulogio Pimentel Vazquez, Roberto Basulto Baker, Gerardo Enrique Guillen Nieto, Yovisleidys Lopez Saez, Hilda Elisa Garay Perez, Lesvia Calzada Aguilera, Maria Castro Santana, Niurka Oneysi Arteaga More, Luis Alberto Aguero Barrocal

Patent number: 8871725Abstract: This invention is related to a pharmaceutical combination that contains a Casein kinase 2 (CK2) peptide inhibitor (termed P15) along with the standard chemotherapeutic drugs used in cancer treatment and which are administered together, separated or sequentially. The chemotherapeutic drugs include cisplatin, taxol, alkaloids from Vinca, 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, mitomicin C, imatinib, iressa and velcade (vortezomib). The synergism between the P15 peptide and the anticancer drugs achieves an efficient concentration of each cytostatic drug in the combination which is from 10- to 100-fold lower than that for each cytostatic drug alone. The pharmaceutical combination described in this invention exhibits lower toxicity compared to that reported by the anticancer therapeutics and therefore, it represents a crucial advantage for its use in cancer therapy.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2007Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Centro de Ingeniería Genética y BiotecnologíaInventors: Silvio Ernesto Perea Rodriguez, Yasser Perera Negrin, Arielis Rodriguez Ulloa, Jeovanis Gil Valdés, Yassel Ramos Gómez, Lila Rosa Castellanos Serra, Lázaro Hiram Betancourt Núñez, Aniel Sánchez Puente, Jorge Fernández de Cossio Dorta Duque, Boris Ernesto Acevedo Castro, Luis Javier González López, Vladimir Besada Pérez, Daniel Fernando Alonso, Daniel Eduardo Gomez
