PROTEIN FORMULATIONS AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME
The invention provides an aqueous formulation comprising water and a protein, and methods of making the same. The aqueous formulation of the invention may be a high protein formulation and/or may have low levels of conductity resulting from the low levels of ionic excipients. Also included in the invention are formulations comprising water and proteins having low osmolality.
USE OF PLL FOR IMPROVING THE STABILITY OF MOLECULES IN SOLUTION
The invention relates to a molecular complex comprising at least one polylysine conjugate (PLL), comprising a main PLL straight chain and at least one molecule F having an average molecular weight of between 50 daltons and 1000 daltons that is covalently bonded to said main chain, and at least one molecule M that is unstable in solution, the conjugate(s) and the molecule(s) M being bonded by means of a non-covalent bond. The invention also relates to a composition comprising a complex of this kind, to a method for obtaining said composition and use thereof, and to the use of one or more PLL-based conjugates for improving the hydrophilicity, the effectiveness, and the activity of a molecule that is unstable in solution, over a time period that is compatible with the use of said molecule. The invention also relates to a method for identifying a PLL-based conjugate or a combination of a plurality of PLL-based conjugates that makes it possible to improve the hydrophilicity, the effectiveness, and the activity of a molecule that is unstable in solution, and to a kit for implementing said method.
ALBUMIN-PROAEROLYSIN PRODRUGS
The present invention relates to the field of cancer. More specifically, the present invention provides compositions and methods for treating cancer using albumin-proaerolysin prodrugs.
