  • Publication number: 20220031631
    Abstract: The present disclosure is based, at least in part, on the discovery that high-purity PEG lipids exhibit superior physical and biological properties, particularly when used in lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations. Therefore, the present disclosure provides PEG lipids at a recommended purity, e.g., for use in formulations, such as LNP formulations. The present disclosure also provides LNPs comprising the high-purity PEG lipids, and methods for delivering therapeutic agents to a subject using the same.

  • Patent number: 10723728
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of sustained delivery of a lactam, imide, amide, sulfonamide, carbamate or urea containing parent drug by administering to a patient an effective amount of a prodrug compound of the invention wherein upon administration to the patient, release of the parent drug from the prodrug is sustained release. Prodrug compounds suitable for use in the methods of the invention are labile conjugates of parent drugs that are derivatized through carbonyl linked prodrug moieties. The prodrug compounds of the invention can be used to treat any condition for which the lactam, imide, amide, sulfonamide, carbamate or urea containing parent drug is useful as a treatment.
