  • Publication number: 20100016225
    Abstract: Provided are conjugates comprising a polymer having operably bound thereto no less than two molecules of synthetic peptide derived from HIV gp41; methods of using these conjugates to inhibit transmission of HIV to a target cell by adding an amount of effective to inhibit infection of the cell by the virus; and methods of producing the conjugates by operably binding each molecule of synthetic peptide, via a reactive functionality, to the polymer.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 6767993
    Abstract: The present invention relates, first, to methods for the synthesis of peptides referred to as T-1249 and T-1249-like peptides. Such methods utilize solid and liquid phase synthesis procedures to synthesize and combine groups of specific peptide fragments to yield the peptide of interest. The present invention further relates to individual peptide fragments which act as intermediates in the synthesis of the peptides on interest (e.g., T-1249). The present invention still further relates to groups of such peptide intermediate fragments which can be utilized together to produce full-length T-1249 and T-1249-like peptides.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6281331
    Abstract: The present invention relates, first, to methods for the synthesis of peptides, in particular T-20 (also referred to as “DP-178”; SEQ ID NO:1) and T-20-like peptides. Such methods utilize solid and liquid phase synthesis procedures to synthesize and combine groups of specific peptide fragments to yield the peptide of interest. The present invention further relates to individual peptide fragments which act as intermediates in the synthesis of the peptides of interest (e.g., T-20). The present invention still further relates to groups of such peptide intermediate fragments which can be utilized together to produce full length T-20 and T-20-like peptides.
