Abstract

The present invention relates generally to isolated to arginine deiminase (ADI) proteins that have reduced cross-reactivity with anti-ADI-PEG 20 antibodies as compared to ADI-PEG 20, but which can have functional characteristics comparable to or better than ADI-PEG 20, compositions comprising the ADI proteins, and related methods of treating arginine-dependent diseases or related diseases such as cancer.

IPC Classes  ?

  • A61K 38/50 - Hydrolases (3) acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds, other than peptide bonds (3.5), e.g. asparaginase

Abstract

Provided are lyophilized formulations comprising pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-PEG) and related reconstituted liquid compositions and methods of using the compositions for arginine depletion therapies, including for the treatment of various cancers.

IPC Classes  ?

  • A61K 31/436 - Heterocyclic compounds having nitrogen as a ring hetero atom, e.g. guanethidine or rifamycins having six-membered rings with one nitrogen as the only ring hetero atom ortho- or peri-condensed with heterocyclic ring systems the heterocyclic ring system containing a six-membered ring having oxygen as a ring hetero atom, e.g. rapamycin
  • A61K 33/24 - Heavy metalsCompounds thereof
  • A61K 38/44 - Oxidoreductases (1)
  • A61K 38/50 - Hydrolases (3) acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds, other than peptide bonds (3.5), e.g. asparaginase
  • A61K 38/51 - Lyases (4)
  • A61K 45/06 - Mixtures of active ingredients without chemical characterisation, e.g. antiphlogistics and cardiaca
  • A61K 47/60 - Medicinal preparations characterised by the non-active ingredients used, e.g. carriers or inert additivesTargeting or modifying agents chemically bound to the active ingredient the non-active ingredient being chemically bound to the active ingredient, e.g. polymer-drug conjugates the non-active ingredient being a modifying agent the modifying agent being an organic macromolecular compound, e.g. an oligomeric, polymeric or dendrimeric molecule obtained otherwise than by reactions only involving carbon-to-carbon unsaturated bonds, e.g. polyureas or polyurethanes the organic macromolecular compound being a polyoxyalkylene oligomer, polymer or dendrimer, e.g. PEG, PPG, PEO or polyglycerol
  • C12N 9/06 - Oxidoreductases (1.), e.g. luciferase acting on nitrogen containing compounds as donors (1.4, 1.5, 1.7)
