  • Publication number: 20230093392
    Abstract: The invention relates to an in silico screening method to identify candidate excipients for reducing aggregation of a protein in a formulation. The method combines computational molecular modeling and molecular dynamics simulations to identify sites on a protein where non-specific self-interaction and interaction of different test excipients may occur, determine the relative binding energies of such interactions, and select one or more test excipients that meet specified interaction criteria for use as candidate excipients in empirical screening studies.

  • Publication number: 20110144311
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for purifying a monomeric monoclonal antibody which comprises contacting the sample, wherein the sample comprises the monomeric monoclonal antibody, host cell impurities, dimers, and higher order aggregates, with a Protein A affinity chromatography column; eluting the monomeric monoclonal antibody from the Protein A affinity chromatography column with an elution buffer; and collecting one or more fractions of the monomeric monoclonal antibody to form a Protein A product pool, wherein the product pool comprises less than 5% higher order aggregate, and has a pH from about 3.2 to about 4.5, thereby purifying the monomeric monoclonal antibody from the sample. This invention also provides a method for purifying a monomeric monoclonal antibody which comprises eluting with acetate or citrate, optionally in the presence of amino acids.

  • Publication number: 20060094776
    Abstract: Insecticidal (dihalopropenyl) phenylalkyl substituted dihydrobenzofuran and dihydrobenzopyran derivatives of Formula I are disclosed. These compounds provide unexpected insecticidal activity across a spectrum of insect pests combined with desirable physical properties including improved photostability. wherein x and y are integers independently selected from 0 or 1; and B is a bridging group *—(CR16R17)q—(CR18R19)r—(CR20R21)s-Lt-(CR22R23)u—(CR24R25)v—(CR26R27)w—, where the asterisk denotes attachment at A; and q, r, s, u, v and w are integers independently selected from 0, 1 and 2; and t is an integer selected from 0 and 1. A, D, E, G, M, R through R11, and R16 through R27, inclusively, are fully described herein. In addition, compositions comprising an insecticidally effective amount of at least one compound of formula I and methods of controlling insects by applying said compositions to a locus where insects are present or are expected to be present are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20050143418
    Abstract: It has now been found that certain novel heterocyclic derivatives have provided unexpected insecticidal activity. These compounds are represented by formula (I): R Preferred are those compounds of formula (I) where R2 and R3 taken together is ?NCH(R6)CH(R7)N(R8)—, ?NC(R6)?C(R7)N(R8)—, or ?CHN?C(R7)N(R8)—, and tautomers thereof, and where R4 and R5 taken together is —C(R11)?C(R12)C(R13)?C(R14) 1 12, —, where R,R,R 6, R 7, R8, R I1, R R 13, R 14, and X are described. In addition, compositions comprising an insecticidally effective amount of at least one compound of formula (I), and optionally, an effective amount of at least one of a second compound, with at least one insecticidally compatible carrier are also disclosed; along with methods of controlling insects comprising applying said compositions to a locus where insects are present or are expected to be present.
