  • Directed delivery of radioprotectants using a receptor specific carrier
    Patent number: 5490991
    Abstract: Chemoactive radioprotectants are coupled to carrier molecules capable of binding cell receptors to form complexes that can be directed to specific non-target cells in a mixture of cells prior to radiation of the mixture so that target cells are selectively destroyed while the non-target cells are protected from radiation. Radioprotection of non-target cells is provided by using chemoactive radioprotectant complexes.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: February 13, 1996
    Assignee: Advanced Magnetics, Inc.
    Inventors: Philip Enriquez, Chu W. Jung, Ernest V. Groman
  • Arabinogalactan derivatives and uses thereof
    Patent number: 5478576
    Abstract: A substantially purified arabinogalactan, its degradative products and selected modifications thereof have been found to act as carriers for delivering therapeutic agent to cell receptors capable of receptor mediated endocytosis (RME). The arabinogalactan and its degrative products once derivatived are capable of forming a complex between the therapeutic agent and the polysaccharide such that the complex retains the ability to recognize and bind to the RME receptor.
