  • Heterocarpine, a plant-derived protein with anti-cancer properties
    Patent number: 7494969
    Abstract: A method of treating cancer dependent on growth factor GHRH in warm-blooded animals in need thereof with an isolated protein extended for Pilocarpus Heterophyllus.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 25, 2003
    Date of Patent: February 24, 2009
    Assignee: Societe de Conseils de Recherches et d'Applications Scientifiques (S.C.R.A.S.)
    Inventors: Eric Ferrandis, Beng Poon Teng, Christine Sohier, Christophe Thurieau
  • Heterocarpine, a plant-derived protein with anti-cancer properties
    Publication number: 20080167221
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plant-derived protein with anti-cancer properties which binds the human growth hormone-releasing hormone (hGHRH). Said protein, which is obtained from the Pilocarpus Heterophyllus plant, is particularly adapted for preparing a medicament that is intended for the treatment of cancers for which growth is dependant on the GHRH growth factor and, in particular, for preparing a medicament that is intended for the treatment of cancers including small cell lung cancer and breast cancer.
    Type: Application

  • Heterocarpine, a human GHRH-binding protein
    Patent number: 7385024
    Abstract: The invention relates to a human GHRH-binding protein (human Growth Hormone-releasing hormone). Said protein, which is obtained from the Pilocarpus Heterophyllus plant, can be used to prepare medicaments intended to antagonise the effects of GHRH and to treat proliferative diseases (particularly cancer), acromegaly or diabetic nephropathies and retinopathies.
