  • Patent number: 6998122
    Abstract: Novel protein C derivatives are described. These polypeptides retain the biological activity of the wild-type human protein C with substantially longer half-lives in human blood. These polypeptides will require either less frequent administration and/or smaller dosage than wild-type human protein C in the treatment of vascular occlusive disorders, hypercoagulable states, thrombotic disorders and disease states predisposing to thrombosis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 13, 2000
    Date of Patent: February 14, 2006
    Assignee: Eli Lilly and Company
    Inventors: Bruce Edward Gerlitz, Bryan Edward Jones, David Thompson Berg
  • Patent number: 6841371
    Abstract: Novel human protein C derivatives are described. These derivatives have increased anti-coagulation activity and resistance to inactivation by serpins, compared to wild-type protein C and retain the biological activity of the wild-type human protein D. These derivatives will require either less frequent administration and/or smaller dosage than wild-type human protein C in the treatment of acute coronary syndromes, vascular occlusive disorders, hyper coagulable states, thrombotic disorders and disease states predisposing to thrombosis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 19, 2001
    Date of Patent: January 11, 2005
    Assignee: Eli Lilly and Company

  • Patent number: 6630138
    Abstract: Novel human protein C derivatives are described. These derivatives have increased anti-coagulation activity, resistance to serpin inactivation, and increased sensitivity to thrombin activation compared to wild-type protein C and retain the biological activity of the wild-type human protein C. These derivatives will require either less frequent administration and/or smaller dosage than wild-type human protein C in the treatment of acute coronary syndromes, vascular occlusive disorders, hypercoagulable states, thrombotic disorders and disease states predisposing to thrombosis.
