DIGESTIVE ENZYME COMPOSITION SUITABLE FOR ENTERAL ADMINISTRATION
The present invention is directed to a digestive enzyme composition comprising an enterically coated digestive enzyme product, administrable nutritional medium, and a pharmaceutically acceptable low viscosity oily ingredient. The process for the preparation of the digestive enzyme composition comprises adding an enterically coated digestive enzyme product to a administrable nutritional medium and pharmaceutically acceptable low viscosity oily ingredient. The invention further provides a method for treating a patient suffering from exocrine pancreatic insufficiency related condition comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective dose of the digestive enzyme composition by means of a feeding tube.
Enzyme delivery systems and methods of preparation and use
This invention relates to coated digestive enzyme preparations and enzyme delivery systems and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the preparations. This invention further relates to methods of preparation and use of the systems, pharmaceutical compositions and preparations to treat persons having ADD, ADHD, autism, cystic fibrosis and other behavioral and neurological disorders.
NUTRITIVE COMPOSITIONS WITH BIOACTIVE PROTEINS
The inventions described herein relate generally to compositions comprising bioactive proteins including, but not limited to, enzymes and antimicrobial proteins. Such bioactive protein compositions may be present alone or in a mammalian milk or soy-based nutritional product to increase colonization of desired commensal organisms, reduce potential pathogens, restore microbiome function, and/or otherwise improve health in a mammal consuming same.
TUNEABLE DELIVERY OF NANOPARTICLE BOUND ACTIVE PLASMIN FOR THE TREATMENT OF THROMBOSIS
Compositions and methods for therapeutic delivery are disclosed. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to nanoparticle compositions that sequester the activity of a target molecule while leaving other domains accessible to bind targeted tissues of interest. Methods for thrombus dissolution include administering a nanoparticle reversibly coupled to a target molecule that can dissolve a blood clot. Compositions and methods for inducing blood clotting are also disclosed. Methods for inducing blood clotting include administering a nanoparticle reversibly coupled to a target molecule that can induce the formation of a blood clot. Methods for sequestering a target molecule are also disclosed. The method includes reversibly coupling a target molecule to a nanoparticle having an affinity ligand that reversibly couples the target molecule, and thus, sequesters the target molecule activity until the target molecule interacts with its substrate resulting in the release of the target molecule.
Cancer treatment
The present invention relates to compositions, methods, uses and kits for treating cancer. The present invention relates to methods for minimising the progression of cancer in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject therapeutically effective amounts of chymotrypsinogen and trypsinogen, thereby minimising the progression of cancer in the subject. In particular, the methods provide a means for treating cancer by reducing the number of cancer stem cells in the subject.
CELL HYDROLYSATE COMPOSITION FROM CULTIVATED CELLS AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF
A cell hydrolysate composition, the composition comprising substantially all protein polypeptides and/or polypeptide fragments derived substantially from all the proteins in a cell from an in vitro cell culture.
PEPTIDE AND USE THEREOF
Peptides consisting of the amino acid sequence of any of LIVTQTMKGL (SEQ ID NO: 1), LIVTQTMKG (SEQ ID NO: 2), LIVTQTMK (SEQ ID NO: 3), IVTQTMKGL (SEQ ID NO: 4), IVTQTMKG (SEQ ID NO: 5), and VTQTMKGL (SEQ ID NO: 6) are useful for improving intestinal barrier function, for suppressing blood glucose elevation, for improving insulin sensitivity, for promoting FGF21 secretion, for suppressing stress or protecting nerves, or for reducing fatigue.
Cell hydrolysate composition from cultivated cells and applications thereof
A cell hydrolysate composition, the composition comprising substantially all protein polypeptides and/or polypeptide fragments derived substantially from all the proteins in a cell from an in vitro cell culture.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR REMOVING DENTAL CALCULI
Disclosed are compositions and formulations comprising enzymes or other biocatalyst that cleave surface-accessible DNA polymers and/or glycoprotein carbohydrate chains at galactose residues in dental calculus, and optionally further include one or more proteolytic enzymes, thereby destroying the structural integrity of the calculus, and allowing it to be readily removed without requiring special treatment by a trained dental professional. Also disclosed are methods for removing dental calculus using the disclosed compositions and formulations.
METHOD FOR PREPARING PEPTIDE FRAGMENTS, METHOD FOR PREPARING PROTEASE TO BE USED THEREIN, AND KIT FOR PREPARING PEPTIDE FRAGMENTS
The method according to the present invention for preparing peptide fragments comprises bringing an antibody, which includes a Fc domain immobilized in pores of a porous body, into contact with a protease immobilized on surface of microparticles. Thus, the Fab domain of the antibody is site-specifically cleaved by the protease and a sample containing Fab domain-derived peptide fragments at a high concentration can be obtained. The protease to be used in the present invention is an animal-derived trypsin contaminated with chymotrypsin wherein the chymotrypsin is inactivated and the trypsin is chemically modified at amino group in lysine residues.
