  • Publication number: 20250135028
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides copolymers and glycopeptide antibiotic-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) comprising the copolymers as well as charge neutral polymers for targeted and sustained delivery of glycopeptide antibiotics to treat bacterial infections, including but not limited to biofilm bacterial infections. The copolymers are block, alternate, or random copolymers comprising x units of the formula and y units of the formula wherein Z is an organic moiety, R and R? are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C1-C18 alkyl, each of x and y is an integer of 1 or greater, the sum of x and y is an integer from about 40 to about 714, and y is from about 10% to about 90% of the sum of x and y.

  • Publication number: 20240109834
    Abstract: Prostacyclin compounds and compositions comprising the same are provided herein. Specifically, prostacyclin compounds comprising treprostinil covalently linked to a linear C5-C18 alkyl, branched C5-C18 alkyl, linear C2-C18 alkenyl, branched C3-C18 alkenyl, aryl, aryl-C1-C18 alkyl or an amino acid or a peptide (e.g., dipeptide, tripeptide, tetrapeptide) are described. The linkage, in one embodiment, is via a carbamate, amide or ester bond. Prostacyclin compounds provided herein can also include at least one hydrogen atom substituted with at least one deuterium atom. Methods for treating pulmonary hypertension (e.g., pulmonary arterial hypertension) and portopulmonary hypertension are also provided.
