  • Publication number: 20140377289
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide improved pharmacological properties to molecules which bind to a target with low affinity (hereinafter referred to as a “ligand moiety”) through linkage of such molecules to a metal binding moiety, thereby generating a combination molecule commonly referred to as a “metallodrug” or “metallotherapeutic.” The metal binding domain of metallodrugs typically catalyzes oxido-reductase chemistry or acts as a Lewis-Acid catalyst, resulting in modification of proteins and nucleic acids that are in close proximity due to binding of the ligand moiety to its target.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 7141542
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a stable formulation of a biologically active protein useful for aerosol delivery to the respiratory tract of a patient in need of treatment comprising: (a) a carrier liquid comprising from about 10% to from about 100% V/V water and from about 0% to from about 90% V/V of an organic liquid; (b) a biologically effective amount of a protein suspended or dissolved in a carrier liquid; and (c) a stabilizing effective amount of a derivatized carbohydrate stabilizing agent suspended or dissolved in said carrier liquid. The stable formulations of the invention may optionally contain about 0.1% to about 5.0% W/V of a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
