  • Publication number: 20240108737
    Abstract: The present invention relates to multimers of polypeptides which are covalently bound to molecular scaffolds such that two or more peptide loops are subtended between attachment points to the scaffold. The invention also describes the multimerization of polypeptides through various chemical linkers and hinges of various lengths and rigidity using different sites of attachments within polypeptides. In particular, the invention describes multimers of peptides which are high affinity binders of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), particularly the spike protein S1 of SARS-CoV-2. The invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising said polypeptides and to the use of said polypeptides in suppressing or treating a disease or disorder mediated by infection of SARS-CoV-2 or for providing prophylaxis to a subject at risk of infection of SARS-CoV-2.

  • Publication number: 20240108738
    Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides which are covalently bound to molecular scaffolds such that two or more peptide loops are subtended between attachment points to the scaffold. In particular, the invention describes peptides which bind to natural killer (NK) cells. The invention also includes multimeric binding complexes comprising at least two of said bicyclic peptide ligands. The invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising said peptide ligands or said multimeric binding complexes and the use of said peptide ligands, multimeric binding complexes and pharmaceutical compositions in preventing, suppressing or treating a disease or disorder mediated by natural killer (NK) cells, such as inflammatory disorders, autoimmune disease and cancer.

  • Patent number: 10351801
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a hard surface cleaning and treatment composition with a synergistic combination of mild surfactants that makes the composition particularly suited for leather, synthetic leather, vinyl and stainless steel. The composition is gentle and non-damaging to leather and synthetic leather, and leaves no sticky residue. The composition can clean food soils such as mustard, ketchup, shortening and grease and requires no personal protective equipment when being used. In addition, a method of preserving a leather surface or article by contacting said surface with said substrate is disclosed as well as specific methods associated with making the composition to form a stable water in oil emulsion.
