  • Patent number: 7388074
    Abstract: Mutants of the human PAI-1 protein are described which are inhibitors of neutrophil elastase or are inhibitors of vitronectin (Vn)-dependent cell migration. These mutants preferably comprise one or two amino acid substitutions in the reactive center loop of PAI-1, particularly at positions 331 and 346 of the mature protein. These mutants are notable in being resistant to inactivation by elastase, having high affinity for Vn, or both properties. These mutant proteins as pharmaceutical compositions are used to inhibit elastase in a subject, thereby treating a number of disorders associated with elastase activity, most notatably emphysema, ARDS, inflammatory lung injury and cystic fibrosis. The mutants which interact with Vn are used to inhibit cell migration in a subject, thereby treating diseases or conditions associated with undesired cell migration and proliferation, particularly of smooth muscle cells.

  • Patent number: 7375076
    Abstract: The present invention is a method of reducing vascular permeability in tissue of a subject comprising inhibiting the activity of serine proteinase tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA). This tPA activity which increases permeability of the tissue in a subject results in edema in the tissue is separate from tPA's thrombolytic activity. The present invention more specifically relates to administering an amount of a tPA inhibitor sufficient to reduce the vascular permeability increasing activity of tPA in a subject. Useful tPA inhibitors for the present method are neuroserpin, mutant neuroserpin, wild-type PAI-1, mutant PAI-1, an antibody that binds to tPA, an antibody that binds to the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor or a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family antagonist.

  • Patent number: 7264953
    Abstract: A library of mutants of metastable proteins, such as proteinase inhibitors, can be screened for the specific loss of a wild-type capability to bind an antibody, yielding valuable drug-design information which otherwise is unavailable. By this approach, for example, a mutant proteinase inhibitor can be obtained that has the amino acid sequence of a wild-type protein, or an active fragment thereof, save for the presence of one or more mutations in at least one epitope, thereby altering interaction of the mutant with an anti-proteinase inhibitor antibody.
