Human Lung Tissues-Active Targeting Immune Nanoliposome of Methylprednisolone and a Method for Producing the Same
20170258811 · 2017-09-14 ·

Present invention relates to a human lung tissues-active targeting immune nanoliposome of methylprednisolone, wherein, nanoliposomes loaded with therapy drugs is covalently coupled with nanobodies against human pulmonary surfactant protein A. Wherein, the therapy drug is methylprednisolone sodium succinate, the nanoliposome consists of phospholipids, cholesterols and long cycling materials. The molar ratio of the methylprednisolone sodium succinate to phospholipids within the nanoliposome is 0.30-0.45. Present invention successfully provides a new human lung tissues targeting hormone preparation, wherein, the nanoliposome serves as a carrier, the nanobody against human pulmonary surfactant protein A serves as a specific lung tissue targeting ligand, methylprednisolone sodium succinate serves as a therapy drug. In accordance with present invention, an efficient, stable human lung tissues-active targeting immune nanoliposome, with specific active lung targeting, is prepared.

PD1 AND/OR LAG3 BINDERS

The present invention provides molecules, such as ISVDs and Nanobodies, that bind to PD1 and LAG3 and, optionally to human serum albumin. These molecules have been engineered so as to reduce the incidence of binding by pre-existing antibodies in the bodies of a subject administered such a molecule. Methods for increasing immune response, treating cancer and/or treating an infectious disease with such molecules are provided.
