Abstract: A kit and sterile preparation of purified corticotropin and methods relating thereto in which the preparation includes corticotropin extracted from a whole porcine pituitary gland including both anterior and posterior portions, and having proteins or peptides having a molecular weight higher than 4.6 kDa removed. Methods of manufacturing, testing, increasing stability, storage, and use of the purified corticotropin are also provided.

Abstract: A method of storing a sterile corticotropin composition at a temperature of 2° to 8° C., warming the sterile corticotropin composition to a temperature of 18° to 26° C., injecting 80 United States Pharmacopeia (USP) units of the sterile corticotropin composition into a human subject, wherein the corticotropin comprises amino acids 1-39 of SEQ ID NO: 1, or wherein the sterile corticotropin composition has not more than 0.05 USP Vasopressin Units/USP Corticotropin Units, or wherein the sterile corticotropin composition comprises acidified WFI having a pH of 2.8 to 3.2.

Abstract: A method of warming a vial containing a sterile corticotropin composition from a temperature of 2° to 8° C. to a temperature of 18° to 26° C., withdrawing the sterile corticotropin composition from the vial with a first needle having a first gauge size with a first diameter, replacing the first needle with a second needle having a second gauge size with a second diameter that is different from the first diameter, and injecting 80 (United States Pharmacopeia) USP units of the sterile corticotropin composition into a human subject.

Abstract: A method of storing and warming a sterile corticotropin composition by storing the sterile corticotropin composition in a multiple-dose vial comprising 80 USP units/mL of the sterile corticotropin composition, wherein the vial comprises a rubber stopper coated with cross-linked silicones, at a temperature of 2° to 8° C.; and warming the vial to a temperature of 18° to 26° C., wherein the corticotropin comprises amino acids 1-39 of SEQ ID NO: 1, or wherein the sterile corticotropin composition has not more than 0.05 USP Vasopressin Units/USP Corticotropin Units.

Abstract: RNA interference (RNAi) triggers and RNAi trigger conjugates for inhibiting the expression of Hif2? (EPAS1) gene are described. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more Hif2? RNAi triggers optionally with one or more additional therapeutics are also described. Delivery of the described Hif2? RNAi triggers to tumor cells in vivo provides for inhibition of Hif2? gene expression and treatment of cancer.

Abstract: The present invention is directed compositions for delivery of RNA interference (RNAi) triggers to integrin positive tumor cells in vivo. The compositions comprise RGD ligand-targeted amphipathic membrane active polyamines reversibly modified with enzyme cleavable dipeptide-amidobenzyl-carbonate masking agents. Modification masks membrane activity of the polymer while reversibility provides physiological responsiveness. The reversibly modified polyamines (dynamic polyconjugate or conjugate) are further covalently linked to an RNAi trigger.
