  • Publication number: 20230190866
    Abstract: Pharmaceutical composition comprising the APL-type peptide identified as SEQ ID NO: 1, as an inhibitor of a state of hyperinflammation characterized by an increase in cytokines or interleukins and inflammatory molecules, which increase their concentration until reaching the state defined as “cytokine storm”. The sucrose concentrations in said composition increase the biological activity of the peptide, facilitating its intravenous application. Said peptide in a pharmaceutical composition is useful for the manufacture of a drug to treat diseases related to hyperinflammation, such as Covid-19, dengue, macrophage activation syndrome, respiratory sepsis and chimeric antigen receptor T-Cell therapies, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. It also discloses a method for the treatment of said diseases, administering a therapeutically effective amount of the composition.

  • Publication number: 20200353040
    Abstract: The invention is relate with a pharmaceutical composition comprising peptide type APL called identified as SEQ ID No. 1, sodium acetate buffer at pH 3.9-4.7; and at least one stabilizing sugar selected from sucrose or trehalose. This pharmaceutical composition is useful for manufacture of a medicament for treating inflammatory diseases related to an increase of neutrophils or citrullination of proteins. These inflammatory diseases include rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), Alzheimer's disease, and hepatic and pulmonary fibrosis. The invention also discloses a method for the treatment of these diseases, through effective therapeutic administration of the pharmaceutical composition of APL-type peptide.

  • Patent number: 8410057
    Abstract: The present invention is related with the field of the medicine, particularly with the use of an APL peptide or its analogues derived from the human heat shock protein of 60 kDa, for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and diabetes mellitus type 1. This peptide is biodistributed into the gastrointestinal tract and also promotes the induction of apoptosis in activated intestinal lamina propria and peripheral blood T cells of patients with Crohn's disease. Furthermore, this peptide induces apoptosis in mononuclear cells of patients with diabetes mellitus type 1.

  • Patent number: 8383771
    Abstract: Peptides of human heat shock protein of 60 kDa, that constitute epitopes for T cells, as well as their derived peptides, which are modified at the contact sites with the MHC molecule, are useful to induce mechanisms of peripheral tolerance, in particular mechanisms of anergy or mediated by clones of regulatory T cells in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. The invention also refers pharmaceutical compositions comprising such peptides for the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
