Publication number: 20230416343Abstract: The present disclosure provides fully human antibodies that specifically bind the spike (S) protein of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus with high affinity, or antigen-binding proteins derived from such antibodies, and uses thereof. Included are anti-spike protein antibodies, antibody fragments, and single-chain antibodies, that are coronavirus neutralizing antibodies, as well as pharmaceutical compositions that include such antibodies and antibody fragments. Methods for using the anti-spike protein antibodies include methods of treating or preventing infection with a coronavirus, such as the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, by administering an antibody or antibody fragment as disclosed herein, including by intranasal delivery. Methods and compositions for treating or preventing coronavirus infection by administering a composition that includes a nucleic acid construct that encodes a neutralizing antibody are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2021Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: Henry Hongjun Ji, Robert Allen, Heyue Zhou, Yanliang Zhang, Yanwen Fu, Wenzhong Guo, Hui Xie, Xia Cao, Lucy Lu, Donghui Li, Reyna Lim, Arthur Ledesma, Daniel Lee

Publication number: 20230158125Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for treating a subject having a coronavirus infection by administering a composition that includes a sACE2 polypeptide to the lungs of a subject infected with a coronavirus. The sACE2 polypeptide includes the extracellular portion of the human ACE2 polypeptide and acts as a decoy, binding the spike (S) protein of coronavirus and thereby preventing the interaction of the S protein with membrane-associated ACE2 expressed on pulmonary cells, thus disrupting the infection process. The sACE2 polypeptide is derived from human ACE2, preventing potential immune reactions of the subject to the therapeutic polypeptide. The sACE2 polypeptide is administered locally to the site of the pathology, avoiding potential adverse effects of systemic delivery.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2021Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: Yanwen Fu, Yanliang Zhang, Heyue Zhou, Namir Shaabani, Reyna Lim, Yan Li, Chin-I Pai

Patent number: 11607457Abstract: Provided herein are, inter alia, nucleic acid-peptide conjugates including a non-cell penetrating protein (e.g., an Hdm2 targeting peptide) attached at its C-terminus to a phosphorothioate nucleic acid. Attachment of the phosphorothioate nucleic acid to the non-cell penetrating protein conveys stability to and allows for efficient intracellular delivery of the non-cell penetrating peptide. The nucleic acid-peptide conjugates provided herein including embodiments thereof are useful, inter alia, for the treatment of cancer.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2018Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignees: CITY OF HOPE, SORRENTO THERAPEUTICS, INC.Inventors: Andreas Herrmann, Hua Yu, Yanwen Fu
