Site-specific glycoengineering of targeting moieties
11697690 · 2023-07-11 · ·

The current disclosure provides binding polypeptides (e.g., antibodies), and targeting moiety conjugates thereof, comprising a site-specifically engineered glycan linkage within native or engineered glycans of the binding polypeptide. The current disclosure also provides nucleic acids encoding the antigen-binding polypeptides, recombinant expression vectors and host cells for making such antigen-binding polypeptides. Methods of using the antigen-binding polypeptides disclosed herein to treat disease are also provided.

Nitric oxide-releasing alginates as biodegradable antibacterial scaffolds and methods pertaining thereto

Large molecular weight alginates which are covalently modified to store and release nitric oxide, as well as methods of making and use thereof, are disclosed herein. The covalently modified alginates may be tailored to release nitric oxide in a controlled manner and are useful for eradication of both planktonic and biofilm-based bacteria.

METHODS FOR THE CONJUGATION OF ANTHRACYCLINES TO CARBOHYDRATE POLYMERIC CARRIERS
20230210998 · 2023-07-06 ·

Methods, compounds, and compositions of conjugating anthracyclines to a carbohydrate polymer backbone via click chemistry are provided. The conjugation of anthracyclines utilizing a reaction between a hydrazone azide moiety and alkyne moiety provide for compositions with less crosslinking, and thereby increasing the efficacy of targeted drug delivery. The methods further provide for controlled loading of anthracycline to a carbohydrate polymer backbone.

Compositions and methods of use for secretoglobins to protect the glycocalyx via interactions with heparan sulfate proteoglycan proteins
11690893 · 2023-07-04 ·

SCGB-based preparations and methods to use these preparations to protect the glycocalyx in medical, veterinary, and cosmetic applications are provided. The secretoglobins (SCGBs) are a family of small secreted globular proteins present in all mammals and sharing conserved structure and thought to share similar immunomodulatory functions. Heparan sulfate proteoglycan proteins (HSPGs) are expressed on the outer membranes of cells and have carbohydrate side chains that, together, make up the glycocalyx. The glycocalyx is a protective layer surrounding all cells, acting as a filter regulating the passage of nutrients into the cell and modifying cell signaling by external factors. There are two major families of HSPGs including syndecans and glypicans, plus several other HSPGs in all mammals. SCGBs bind to, and interact with, HSPGs to further modulate cell signaling and cellular responses to external factors.
