  • Publication number: 20230107018
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation comprising non-activated polypeptide TRP and a phospholipid dispersant. The use of the pharmaceutical formulation according to the present invention leads to the effects of suppressing the aggregation of non-activated TRP, increasing intracellular drug delivery, and decreasing cytotoxicity as well as increasing the safety of the drug and improving therapeutic efficacy.

  • Patent number: 11033518
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing, as an active ingredient, niclosamide or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, for treating or preventing disease related to Axin-GSK3 interaction, such as familial adenomatosis polyposis (FAP). According to the present invention, familial adenomatosis polyposis (FAP) which causes pain due to lack of specific treatment methods, can be effectively treated using niclosamide, which is a safe drug approved by the FDA.

  • Publication number: 20190388362
    Abstract: The present invention relates to: a method for providing information for the prediction or diagnosis of oral precancer or oral cancer characterized by confirming expression of the Axin2 gene or the Snail gene in an oral leukoplakia tissue sample or an oral submucous fibrosis tissue sample; and a use of a compound capable of delaying or inhibiting the progression of a precancerous lesion and recurrent oral cancer using the compound capable of effectively inhibiting the expression of the Axin2 gene or the Snail gene. According to the present invention, the possibility of oral leukoplakia or submucous fibrosis which causes white lesions to appear inside the oral cavity can be predicted and diagnosed, thereby being useful in eliminating the potential risks of oral cancer by early prediction of progression into oral precancer or oral cancer for which effective treatment does not currently exist.

  • Publication number: 20190317098
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for diagnosis of pancreatic diseases, more specifically, to a composition which can diagnose pancreatic cancer, a kit for diagnosis comprising the same, and a method of providing information for diagnosis using the composition. The present invention can accurately predict or identify the risk of pancreatic cancer, and moreover, can diagnose pancreatic cancer by effectively distinguishing pancreatic cancer from different types of cancer. In addition, in the present invention, it is possible to diagnose pancreatic cancer simply and rapidly through a non-invasive method by using monocytes obtained from blood, serum or plasma obtained from an individual.

  • Patent number: 8268590
    Abstract: Non-activated tissue-regeneration polypeptides (TRPs) and their preparation methods are disclosed. The TRPs include: a protein transduction domain (PTD) making the polypeptides to permeate a cell membrane without cell membrane receptors; a furin activation domain (FAD) which has at least one proprotein convertase cleavage site and which can be cleaved by the proprotein convertase and activate a tissue regeneration domain (TRD) in cells; and a tissue regeneration domain (TRD) which can be activated by the proprotein convertase cleavage of the FAD to stimulate the growth or formation of tissues or to induce the regeneration of tissues. The TRPs can be mass-produced by cultured bacteria, such as recombinant E. coli, are in a non-activated state before in vivo administration, and their separation, purification, handling, storage and administration are simple and convenient.

  • Publication number: 20090325866
    Abstract: The present invention relates to non-activated Wnt inhibition polypeptides (WIPs) containing: (a) a protein transduction domain (PTD) which enables said WIPs to permeate a cell membrane without the aid of a cell membrane receptor; and (b) a Wnt antagonist domain which is inactive by itself, but is activated in mammalian cells and then secreted out of the cells to function to inhibit Wnt signal transduction. Also, the invention relates to a method for preparing said non-activated WIPs, and a pharmaceutical composition containing said WIPs as active ingredients. Said non-activated WIPs can be produced in large quantities through the culture of bacteria such as E coli., and are biochemically inactive before being administered into the human body, and thus the production cost thereof is only one several tenths of that of previously known active proteins (sFRPs, DKKs, etc.
