  • Patent number: 11414467
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel fusion protein comprising the transcription modulation domain of the transcription factor NF-?B subunit p65 and a protein transduction domain and to the use thereof. The fusion protein of the present invention has the effects of inhibiting the transcription of NF-?B and IL-2 by competitive inhibition and inhibiting the LPS-induced secretion of inflammatory cytokines and also inhibiting the production of IL-2, IFN-?, IL-4, IL-17A and IL-10 in splenocytes, and thus is effectively used as a composition for the prevention or treatment of a disease related to NF-?B overactivity.

  • Patent number: 7902154
    Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions for treating diseases and conditions caused by ischemia. The pharmaceutical compositions contain a conjugate of a phospholipase (PL) polypeptide and a protein transduction domain (PTD). PLC-? plays a major role in the regulation of cytosolic calcium levels. During myocardial ischemia, cytosolic calcium accumulation mediates pathogenic changes. According to the present invention, ischemic diseases or conditions leading to hypoxia in tissues, such as the heart and the brain, can be prevented or alleviated by administration of a PTD-PL conjugate.
