Disclosed herein are nanoparticle compositions including an mRNA and a lipid component and methods of using the same. The present invention provides compositions and methods involving lipid-containing nanoparticle compositions to deliver mRNA to cells. In one aspect, the invention provides a nanoparticle composition including (i) a lipid component including a phospholipid (which may or may not be unsaturated), a PEG lipid, a structural lipid, and a compound of formula (I) and (ii) an mRNA encoding a polypeptide of interest.

The present disclosure relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of α-synuclein (target protein). In particular, the present disclosure is directed to bifunctional compounds, which contain on one end a Von Hippel-Lindau, cereblon. Inhibitors of Apotosis Proteins or mouse double-minute homolog 2 ligand which binds to the respective E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds the target protein, such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of target protein. The present disclosure exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation/inhibition of target protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aggregation or accumulation of the target protein are treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.

A lipidated secondary antibody is disclosed. Particles comprising same are also disclosed.

Provided herein are micellic assemblies comprising a plurality of copolymers. In certain instauces, micellic assemblies provided herein are pH sensitive particles.

Disclosed are compounds and compositions for the activation or induction of expression of a pattern recognition receptor (e.g., STING, RIG-I, MDA5), and methods of use thereof.

A composition comprising a compound having a formula I:

##STR00001##

wherein T is derivative of a terpene and R is a derivative of a neurotransmitter acids, wherein the neurotransmitter acids are selected form GABA, glycine, and taurine. Pharmaceutical formulations for oral and topical use as analgesics and anti-inflammatories are also provided. A process for preparing the composition and the formulations are also provided.

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a binary conjugate, DC009, which is a conjugate of a thrombolytic peptide (Pro-Ala-Lys) and a tetrahydroisoquinoline compound having two C1-4 alkyl groups via a lysine linking arm, and a pharmaceutical acceptable carrier. The composition has a pH less than 6.5, preferably has a pH about pH 2-5.5 The composition may comprise a pharmaceutical acceptable excipient such as mannitol, sorbitol, sucrose, lactose, or trehalose.

The present disclosure relates to quantum dot nanoparticles useful for targeting and manipulating mitochondrial function, and to methods of targeting and manipulating mitochondrial function using such quantum dot nanoparticles.

The present invention provides a mannose-based mRNA targeted delivery system and use thereof. The mRNA can encode one or more target polypeptides and contains at least one mannose modification. The technical solution of the present invention modifies the mRNA molecule with a mannose, so that the mRNA can be directly and efficiently coupled with the mannose, and the targeted delivery of the mRNA is realized without the need for a carrier.

This invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations of gemcitabine-[phenyl-benzoxy-L-alaninyl)]-phosphate, a monophosphate derivative of the well-known oncology drug gemcitabine. In particular, the invention relates to formulations which comprise a polar aprotic solvent, preferably dimethyl acetamide (DMA). Formulations comprising these solvent provide therapeutically effective treatments of gemcitabine-[phenyl-benzoxy-L-alaninyl)]-phosphate. The invention also relates to methods of using said formulations and kits comprising said formulations.
