  • Publication number: 20230014619
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing cationized cellulose. The method comprises at least preparing a slurry of a cellulosic starting material in an alkaline liquid medium which comprises an organic liquid and performing mercerization of the slurry. The concentration of the cellulosic starting material in the slurry is at least 20 weight-%, calculated as dry from total weight of the liquid medium and the cellulosic starting material. A cationizing agent is added to the slurry after the mercerization step at a cationization temperature, which is less than the boiling point of the alkaline liquid medium, and the cellulose in the slurry is allowed to react with the cationizing agent, preferably under inert atmosphere and a cationized cellulose product is obtained.

  • Patent number: 11103565
    Abstract: The present application discloses a PEGylated asparaginase and use thereof. In this application, the polyethylene glycol (PEG) is coupled to the N-terminal amino of 1 or 2 subunits of L-asparaginase, and the molecular weight of the PEG is 30-40 KDa. The PEG is preferably branched and has an aldehyde serving as an activating group. The PEGylated asparaginase is useful in the preparation of anti-tumor drugs.

  • Patent number: 10406235
    Abstract: Methods for use of a multi-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG) modifier in modification of asparaginase. The described multi-arm PEG modifier enhances the subunit interaction of a multimeric protein to maintain the multimeric protein in a polymerized form, thereby improving the stability of the multimeric protein, maintaining the bioactivity of the multimeric protein, and reducing the probability of exposure of the antigen binding site after depolymerization of the subunits, so as to reduce the immunogenicity.

  • Patent number: 10052368
    Abstract: The present invention relates to polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified protein drugs, and a PEGylated tissue kallikrein, a preparation method and use thereof are disclosed. The tissue kallikrein has a sequence as shown in SEQ ID No. 1 or SEQ ID No. 2, and the tissue kallikrein may be natural or recombinant. The PEG has a molecular weight of 20 to 40 kDa, and is conjugated to the N-terminal primary amino of the tissue kallikrein. In addition to the advantages of significantly extended half-life, significantly reduced immunogenicity and stable and uniform structure, the biological activity of the PEGylated KLK1 provided in the present invention is improved to a higher extent, which is more significant in the treatment of cerebral apoplexy and diabetic nephropathy in particular.
