Patent number: 7605123
Abstract: Fatty acid compositions for administration of of pharmaceutical agents, such as proteins and peptides, protein and peptide conjugates, and/or cation-polypeptide conjugate complexes. In particular, the invention provides a solid pharmaceutical composition formulated for oral administration by ingestion, having from about 0.1 to about 75% w/w fatty acid component, where the fatty acid component comprises saturated or unsaturated C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11, or C12 fatty acids and/or salts of such fatty acids; and a therapeutic agent. Further, the invention provides a liquid pharmaceutical composition formulated for oral administration by ingestion, comprising: from about 0.1 to about 10% w/v fatty acid component, where the fatty acid component comprises saturated or unsaturated C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11, or C12 fatty acids and/or salts of such fatty acids; and a therapeutic agent.

Abstract: An insulin compound coupled to a modifying moiety having a formula: —X—R1—Y-PAG-Z-R??(Formula VI) where, X, Y and Z are independently selected linking groups and each is optionally present, and X, when present, is coupled to the insulin compound by a covalent bond, either R1 or R2 is is a lower alkyl, optionally including a carbonyl group, and when R1 is a lower alkyl, R2 is a capping group, and PAG is a linear or branched carbon chain incorporating one or more alkalene glycol moieties, and optionally incorporating one or more additional moieties selected from the group consisting of —S—, —O—, —N—, and —C(O)—, and where the modifying moiety has a maximum number of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 heavy atoms.
