    Abstract: Disclosed is a stable formulation based on rAFP conjugated with drug delivery system of various classes of pharmacological agents such as dactinomycin, cardionolide, and bufadinolide, among others. In another embodiment, the invention discloses a method of producing rAFP in a strain of methylotrophic Pichia pastoris yeast, allowing the yeast to replicate, and extracting the newly created rAFP. The method provides a nonpyrogenic, highly stable, recombinant, fully refolded rAFP and its fragments that are free from stable folding intermediates caused by non-native disulfide bridges and irreversible aggregates. The newly created rAFP is purified using a two-step chromatographic purification process in the presence of 0.5% polysorbate-20 and 10 mM inosine that prevents aggregation of the monomers of the target protein, increasing the yield of biologically active rAFP.
