PROTEIN-TYPE NANOPARTICLES, PREPARATION METHODS, AND APPLICATION THEREOF

The disclosure relates to a protein-type nanoparticle for multi-specific antibody delivery, a preparation method, and its application. The protein-type nanoparticle includes a polyester and a protein with a hydrophobic domain, and the hydrophobic domain of the protein is bound with the polyester through hydrophobic interactions. The protein is at least one of albumin, globulin and cell wall protein. The protein-type nanoparticle of the present disclosure has excellent stability and biocompatibility. The protein-type nanoparticle is used to prepare a multi-specific antibody delivery platform (αFc-NP) by binding anti-IgG-Fc antibody or anti-IgG-Fc antibody fragment, which can stably, quickly and easily bind to multiple specific antibodies through antigen-antibody interaction and enhance the therapeutic effect of specific antibodies.

VIRUS-LIKE PARTICLES FOR PREVENTING THE SPREADING AND LOWERING THE INFECTION RATE OF VIRUSES
20230172871 · 2023-06-08 ·

According to some embodiments, a carrier for reducing a likelihood of a pathogen binding to cell structures of a host comprises a core, surface features extending from an exterior surface of the core, wherein the surface features are configured to bind to target areas of cell structures of the host to at least partially block the pathogen from binding to said target areas as a result of competitive inhibition, and a plurality of binding sites along the exterior surface, wherein the binding sites are configured to attract at least one portion of the pathogen, wherein the binding sites are recognizable by the pathogen and are able to be bound by the pathogen, thereby at least partially immobilizing the pathogen and reducing the likelihood of the pathogen binding to target areas of cell structures of the host.

Procoagulant compounds

The present disclosure provides protease-activatable procoagulant compounds comprising a procoagulant polypeptide, e.g., a procoagulant peptide and/or clotting factor, and a linker comprising a protease-cleavable substrate (e.g., a synthetic thrombin substrate) and a self-immolative spacer (e.g., p-amino benzyl carbamate). Upon cleavage of the protease-cleavable substrate by a protease (e.g., thrombin), the self-immolative spacer cleaves itself from the procoagulant polypeptide such that the polypeptide is in an underivatized and active form. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions, methods for treating bleeding disorders using the disclosed compounds, methods of enhancing in vivo efficacy of procoagulant polypeptides, methods of increasing the efficacy of proteolytic cleavage of compounds comprising procoagulant polypeptides, methods of activating procoagulant polypeptides, and methods of releasing a procoagulant polypeptide from a heterologous moiety such as PEG.
