  • Publication number: 20170326233
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antibody-polypeptide-cytotoxin conjugates and methods of making, packaging, and using the conjugates. The polypeptide can be a Kunitz-type protease inhibitor or a derivative thereof that facilitates transport of the conjugate across the blood-brain barrier and/or into cancer cells outside the CNS, and the antibody moiety selectively binds a target within the CNS or in peripheral tumors to direct the cytotoxic agent to that target (e.g., a tumor or cancer cell). The conjugates can be further defined by the inclusion of a linker between the antibody moiety and the polypeptide; by the number of polypeptides and cytotoxic agents conjugated thereto; by the positions at which the entities within the conjugates are bound to one another; and by the larger configuration of the conjugate. Modified polypeptides (e.g., polypeptides conjugated to cytotoxic agents but not to an anti-body moiety), pharmaceutical compositions, kits (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20160375145
    Abstract: The invention relates to improvements in the field of drug delivery. More particularly, the invention relates to polypeptides having a hydrolyzable covalent bond to a therapeutic agent that includes, etoposide, etoposide 4?-dimethylglycine or doxorubicin. These polypeptide conjugates can be used as vectors to transport the podophyllotoxin derivative across the blood brain barrier (BBB) or into particular cell types such as ovary, liver, lung, or kidney. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions that include the compounds of the invention and to uses thereof in methods of treatment.
