  • 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: 9670200
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of sustained delivery of a tertiary amine-containing parent drug comprising 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 quaternary ammonium salts of tertiary amine-containing parent drugs (or tertiary imine-containing parent drugs) that are derivatized through aldehyde-linked prodrug moieties that reduce the solubility of the prodrug compound at a reference pH as compared to the parent drug. The physical, chemical and solubility properties of these derivatives can be further modulated by the choice of counterion X?. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a prodrug compound of Formula I: where R1-R5 are defined in the written description of the invention.

  • Patent number: 8686009
    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.

  • Publication number: 20110294841
    Abstract: The invention provides novel omega-3 oil formulations of one or more statins. These formulations are readily bioavailable. Notably, because the formulations of the invention contain an omega-3 oils as the major ingredient, they not only provide an antihypercholesterolemic effect due to the statin active ingredient, they also provide recommended daily dosages of omega-3 oils (i.e., approximately 1 gram of omega-3 oil per day), or a portion thereof. The invention also provides novel salts of one or more statins.
