  • Publication number: 20180193409
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treating a disease or condition associated with signalling via the TPO receptor. The method comprises the step of administering an effective amount of a peptidyl TPO receptor antagonist to a subject in need thereof, wherein the peptidyl TPOR receptor antagonist is a cyclic or linear peptidyl compound comprising the following structural formula (I): Xbb-Xaa-Xcc wherein Xbb represents a residue of an amino acid selected from arginine (R) and lysine (K); Xaa represents a residue of an amino acid selected from glutamine (Q), asparagine (N), aspartic acid (D), and glutamic acid (E); Xcc represents a residue of an amino acid selected from tryptophan (W), phenylalanine (F), tyrosine (Y), and histidine (H); or a salt thereof.

  • Patent number: 8544658
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing RAFT, ATRP or NMRP functionalized thin film composite (TFC) polyamide membranes on a microporous substrate. A further aspect of the invention is the subsequent modification of the thin film composite polyamide membrane by controlled free radical polymerization (CFRP) to yield membranes having new chemical and physical properties, e.g. antifouling and/or antibacterial properties. Further aspects of the invention are the functionalized thin film composite (TFC) polyamide membranes on the microporous substrate itself and the membranes modified by controlled free radical polymerization.
