  • Publication number: 20220152036
    Abstract: Provided herein are compounds of Formula (I). The compounds described herein are useful in treating a disease associated with the expression of endogenous embryonic/fetal globin (e.g., ? globin) in erythrocytes (e.g., treating ?-thalassemia and/or sickle cell disease through at least the induction of the globin gene expression in erythrocytes), and/or anemia (?-thalassemia and/or sickle cell anemia). The compounds described herein are useful in treating, delaying, and/or preventing the adverse effects of ?-thalassemia and/or sickle cell disease, inducing ? globin production, and/or inducing the expression of embryonic/fetal globin genes in a subject, cell, tissue, or biological sample. Also provided in the present disclosure are pharmaceutical compositions, kits, and methods of using the compounds for inducing ? globin production described herein and for treating any of the target diseases described herein.

  • Patent number: 6383812
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method of synthesizing branched galactose-terminal glycoproteins. A number of these glycoproteins have binding affinity to the asialoglycoprotein receptor. The present invention also provides novel conjugates having branched galactose-terminal glycoproteins that is complexed to a therapeutically effective agent, such as an isolated protein, polysacharides, lipids and radioactive isotope. These conjugates may be used to deliver the therapeutically effective agent to mammalian cells generally, and to hepatocytes specifically.
