  • Patent number: 9399653
    Abstract: Described herein are the preparation and use of novel bromo-phosphonomethylphenylalanine amino acid derivatives (BrPmp) and BrPmp-containing peptides as specific, irreversible protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors, which are suitable for application in peptide synthesis. These derivatives are particularly advantageous since their synthesis is both easy and scalable, and they are suitable for peptide synthesis. The BrPmp derivatives described herein can be appropriately protected to allow for solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and incorporation into peptides for preparation of protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors and inhibitor libraries. The peptides and peptide libraries can be used to identify new protein tyrosine phosphatase specific sequences and profile protein tyrosine phosphatase activity in cell lysates, diagnostic samples and biopsy samples.

  • Patent number: 9370576
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of pharmaceutics, in particular, to solid pharmaceutical composition comprising 2-amino-2-[2-(4-octylphenyl)ethyl]propane-1,3-diol or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, stabilizer, lubricant and filler; to method for preparation of pharmaceutical composition, to medicaments for immune suppression and treating multiple sclerosis. 2-Amino-2-[2-(4-octylphenyl)ethyl]propane-1,3-diol represents an immune modulator, which causes redistribution of lymphocytes from blood flow into secondary lymphoid tissue that leads to immune suppression. The invention provides uniform distribution of the active ingredient in the solid composition, high stability and improved flowability of the solid pharmaceutical composition. Due to the improved flowability the compositions suggested in the invention can be used on automated equipment.
