  • Publication number: 20100125130
    Abstract: The present invention relates to ligands which bind to human tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF) in a manner such that upon binding of these ligands to TNF the biological activity of TNF is modified. In preferred forms the ligand binds to TNF in a manner such that the induction of fibrin deposition in the tumour and induction of endothelial procoagulant activity of the TNF is inhibited; the binding of TNF to receptors on endothelial cells, tumour regression, cytotoxicity and receptor binding activities of the TNF on tumour cells are unaffected. The ligand is preferably an antibody, F(ab) fragment, single domain antibody (dABs), single chain antibody or a serum binding protein. It is preferred, however, that the ligand is a monoclonal antibody or F(ab) fragment thereof.

  • Publication number: 20090215895
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to compounds comprising a hydrocarbon chain portion and more particular to compounds comprising chemical derivatizations of the hydrocarbon chain which are useful therapeutic and prophylactic molecules. The present invention further provides compounds where the hydrocarbon chain portion is a carrier molecule for functional groups, moieties or agents. The compounds of the present invention are particularly useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of a range of conditions including cancers, protein kinase c(PKC)- or NFkB-related- or -associated conditions, cardiovascular conditions, pain, inflammatory conditions, vascular or immunological conditions such as diabetes, neurological conditions and infection by a range of viruses or prokaryotic or eukaryotic organisms. The present invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods of medical treatment.
