Patent number: 11865161Abstract: A biologically active complex comprising a polypeptide having the sequence of a naturally occurring protein or a variant thereof, wherein said polypeptide is at least partially unfolded as compared to the said naturally occurring protein for example as a result of a modification of at least one cysteine residue; or a peptide of up to 50 amino acids; and a fatty acid or lipid or a salt thereof, for use in prophylactic treatment of cancers, in particular of the gastrointestinal tract.

Patent number: 8796218Abstract: A method for preparing a biologically active complex, said method comprising a recombinant protein having the sequence of ?-lactalbumin, such as human ?-lactalbumin or a fragment thereof but which lacks intra-molecular disulfide bonds, and oleic acid, and process for preparing this are described and claimed. The recombinant protein suitably has cysteines found in the native protein changed to other amino acids, such as alanine. Improvements in recombinant expression, process rationalisation and yields of biologically active complexes, as well as the complexes obtained are also described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2010Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Hamlet Pharma ABInventors: Catharina Svanborg, Kenneth Hun Mok, Ann-Kristin Mossberg, Jenny Petterson-Kastberg

Patent number: 7713533Abstract: The use of a biologically active complex of ?-lactalbumin, selected from HAMLET (human ?-lactalbumin made lethal to tumour cells) or a biologically active modification thereof, or a biologically active fragment of either of these, in the preparation of a medicament for use in the treatment of papilloma, such as cutaneous papillomas.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2007Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: NYA HAMLET Pharma ABInventor: Catharina Svanborg

Patent number: 7524932Abstract: A method for producing an oligomeric form of ?-lactalbumin which is in the molten globule-like state is described. The method suitably comprises exposing a source of ?-lactalbumin in which the ?-lactalbumin is preferably in the molten globule-like state, to an ion exchange medium which has been pre-treated with casein or an active component thereof, such as oleic acid, and recovering ?-lactalbumin in an oligomeric form therefrom. Pre-treatment of the ion exchange medium, particularly with casein derived from human milk, has been found to significantly improve yields of the oligomeric form of ?-lactalbumin and mean that it can readily isolated from readily available sources such as bovine ?-lactalbumin. This form of ?-lactalbumin is useful therapeutically, in particular as an antibacterial agent and also as an anti-cancer therapeutic.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2006Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: Nya Hamlet Pharma ABInventors: Catharina Svanborg, Per Anders Hakansson, Malin Wilhelmina Svensson
