Abstract
Methods and compositions comprising hematopoietic growth factor proteins and/or protein analogs thereof and/or combinations thereof and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors to treat the acute and long term adverse effects of radiation exposure in subjects who have been or will be exposed to radiation are disclosed.
Methods and compositions for the use of long-acting hematopoietic factor protein analogs for accelerating hematopoietic recovery in subjects who have been or will be exposed to radiation are disclosed.
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
A61K 38/27 - Growth hormone [GH], i.e. somatotropin
Disclosed is a method for refolding a protein or peptide that does not contain essential disulfides and that contains at least one free cysteine residue. Also disclosed are polymer IFN-γ conjugates that have been created by the chemical coupling of polymers such as polyethylene glycol moieties to IFN-γ, particularly via a free cysteine in the protein. Also disclosed are analogs of bioactive peptides that may be used to create longer acting versions of the peptides, including analogs of glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), GLP-2, Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP), PYY, exendin, ghrelin, gastrin, amylin, and oxyntomodulin.
