20130164369 | TELODENDRIMER NANODISCS WITHOUT APOLIPOPROTEIN - The present invention provides a nanodisc without a membrane scaffold protein. The nanodisc includes a telodendrimer and a lipid; the nanodisc does not include a membrane scaffold protein. The telodendrimer has the general formula PEG-L-D-(R) | 06-27-2013 |
20130165636 | APOLIPOPROTEIN NANODISCS WITH TELODENDRIMER - The present invention provides a nanodisc with a membrane scaffold protein. The nanodisc includes a membrane scaffold protein, a telodendrimer and a lipid. The membrane scaffold protein can be apolipoprotein. The telodendrimer has the general formula PEG-L-D-(R) | 06-27-2013 |
20130172270 | RGD-CONTAINING CYCLIC PEPTIDES - The present invention is drawn to cyclic RGD peptides linked via a disulfide bond, where the terminal cysteines are preferably in the D configuration. These peptides target αvβ3 integrin on tumor cells and neovasculatures and function as targeting agents for tumor diagnostic imaging and therapy. Compared with the commonly used RGD ligands, compounds of the present invention have improved targeting efficacy and lower nonspecific binding to normal organs. Moreover, the compounds of the present invention can be functionalized to conjugate imaging payload without decreasing binding strength. | 07-04-2013 |
20140161719 | PORPHYRIN MODIFIED TELODENDRIMERS - The present invention provides amphiphilic telodendrimers that aggregate to form nanocarriers characterized by a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic exterior. The nanocarrier core may include amphiphilic functionality such as cholic acid or cholic acid derivatives, and the exterior may include branched or linear poly(ethylene glycol) segments. Nanocarrier cargo such as hydrophobic drugs and other materials may be sequester in the core via non-covalent means or may be covalently bound to the telodendrimer building blocks. Telodendrimer structure may be tailored to alter loading properties, interactions with materials such as biological membranes, and other characteristics. | 06-12-2014 |
