  • Patent number: 10125183
    Abstract: The present invention provides a decoy peptide or polypeptide capable of inhibiting the binding of AMIGO2 and 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1), and a pharmaceutical composition, containing the decoy peptide or polypeptide as an active ingredient, for preventing or treating cancer or an angiogenic disease. Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for screening a material for preventing or treating cancer or an angiogenic disease. According to the present invention, it is worth noting that the decoy peptide or polypeptide of the present invention induces apoptosis through the inhibition of the binding of AMIGO2 and 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1); reduces migration and adhesion of endothelial cells; significantly reduces vascular induction, survival, and growth.

  • Patent number: 9249220
    Abstract: The present invention relates to human monoclonal antibodies neutralizing vascular endothelial growth factor receptor and the use thereof. More specifically, relates to human ScFv molecules neutralizing vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, and a composition for inhibiting angiogenesis and a composition for treating cancer, which contain the human ScFv molecules. The disclosed monoclonal antibody neutralizing vascular endothelial growth factor receptor shows excellent neutralizing ability in living cells, compared to that of a commercially available antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, and shows the ability to neutralize vascular endothelial growth factor receptor not only in humans, but also in mice and rats. Thus, the monoclonal antibody will be useful in anticancer studies and will be highly effective in cancer treatment.

  • Patent number: 8889840
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a novel vascular leakage inhibitor. The novel vascular leakage inhibitor of the present disclosure inhibits the apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells, inhibits the formation of actin stress fibers induced by VEGF, enhances the cortical actin ring structure, and improves the stability of the tight junctions (TJs) between vascular cells, thereby inhibiting vascular leakage. The vascular leakage inhibitor of the present disclosure has the activity of not only reducing vascular permeability but also recovering the integrity of damaged blood vessels. Accordingly, the vascular leakage inhibitor of the present disclosure can prevent or treat various diseases caused by vascular leakage. Since the vascular leakage inhibitor of the present disclosure is synthesized from commercially available or easily synthesizable cholesterols, it has remarkably superior feasibility of commercial synthesis.
