This invention discloses compositions of chloroquine-coupled active agents, including methods for their preparation. The prior art has shown that chloroquines given as free drug in high enough concentration, enhances the release of various agents from cellular endosomes into the cytoplasm. The purpose of these compositions is to provide a controlled amount of chloroquine at the same site where the active agent is delivered, thereby reducing the overall dosage needed. The compositions comprise a chloroquine substance coupled to an active agent directly or through a variety of pharmaceutical carrier substances. The carrier substances include polysaccharides, synthetic polymers, proteins, micelles and other substances for carrying and releasing the chloroquine compositions in the body for therapeutic effect. The compositions can also include a biocleavable linkage for carrying and releasing active agents for therapeutic or other medical uses. The invention also discloses carrier compositions that are coupled to targeting molecules for targeting the delivery of chloroquine substances and active agents to their site of action.

This invention discloses compositions and methods for preparing chloroquine-coupled nucleic acid compositions. The prior art has shown that chloroquines given as free drug in high enough concentration, enhances the release of various agents from cellular endosomes into the cytoplasm. The purpose of these compositions is to provide a controlled amount of chloroquine at the same site where the nucleic acid needs to be released, thereby reducing the overall dosage needed. The compositions comprise a chloroquine substance coupled to a nucleic acid directly or through a variety of pharmaceutical carrier substances. The carrier substances include polysaccharides, synthetic polymers, proteins, micelles and other substances for carrying and releasing the chloroquine compositions in the body for therapeutic effect. The compositions can also include a biocleavable linkage for carrying and releasing nucleic acids for therapeutic or other medical uses. The invention also discloses nucleic acid carrier compositions that are coupled to targeting molecules for targeting the delivery of nucleic acids to their site of action.
The present invention relates to the delivery of drug, peptide and protein pharmaceuticals using a biotin-mediated uptake system. More particularly the invention relates to the amplification of active substance delivery with the biotin uptake system using a biotin-active substance-polymer conjugate or a biotin-nanoparticle conjugate. The invention also relates to processes for preparing the conjugates, pharmaceutical and diagnostic compositions containing same and methods of diagnosis and treatment involving the conjugates.
A storage-stable, high potency allergenic extract is prepared by ultrafiltration, retaining fractions having molecular weights of from 1000 to 100,000, and treating the solution with gel polymer and/or carbon absorbents. The extract is dried to a moisture content of less than one weight percent water. The purified solution and aqueous reconstituted solutions of the dried extract provide a transparent, colorless solution which has greatly increased stability, remaining transparent and colorless for extended periods.

A hepatitis B vaccine containing a peptide with an amino acid chain of at least six consecutive amino acids within the pre-S gene coded region of the envelope of hepatitis B virus. The vaccine being free of an amino acid sequence corresponding to the naturally occuring evelope proteins of hepatitis B virus and a physiologically acceptable diluent. The peptide being free or linked to a carrier. The carrier being a conventional carrier or a novel carrier including a lipid vesicle stabilized by cross-linking and having covalently bonded active sites on the outer surface thereon. Such novel carrier being useful not only to link the novel peptide containing an amino acid chain with amino acids within the pre-S gene coded region of the surface antigen of hepatitis B virus, but can also be used to bind synthetic peptide analogues of other viral proteins, as well as bacterial, allergen and parasitic proteins of man and animals. The peptides of the invention can be utilized in diagnostics for the detection of antigens and antibodies.
一种乙型肝炎疫苗,含有乙型肝炎病毒包膜前 S 基因编码区内至少六个连续氨基酸链的多肽。该疫苗不含与天然存在的乙型肝炎病毒包膜蛋白相对应的氨基酸序列和生理上可接受的稀释剂。多肽不含载体或与载体相连。载体可以是传统载体,也可以是新型载体,包括通过交联稳定的脂质囊泡,其外表面具有共价键活性位点。这种新型载体不仅可用于将含有氨基酸链的新型多肽与乙型肝炎病毒表面抗原前 S 基因编码区内的氨基酸连接起来,还可用于结合其他病毒蛋白的合成多肽类似物,以及人和动物的细菌、过敏原和寄生虫蛋白。本发明的多肽可用于抗原和抗体的诊断检测。
