摘要:
It is provided an insulin resistance marker, a method of evaluating insulin resistance, a method of screening a substance that improves insulin resistance, and a pharmaceutical composition for improving insulin resistance. An insulin resistance marker including a polypeptide comprising at least any 15 continuous amino acids in the specific amino acid sequence (sequence of a proepithelin protein). An insulin resistance marker including a polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of a polynucleotide comprising at least any 45 continuous bases in the base sequence encoding the above specific amino acid sequence, and a polynucleotide that is complementary to the polynucleotide.
摘要:
A method for producing a sustained-release preparation, which comprises dispersing a physiologically active polypeptide into an organic solvent solution of a biodegradable polymer and removing the organic solvent, wherein the polypeptide is a powder obtained by lyophilizing an aqueous solution of the polypeptide which solution has a water-miscible organic solvent and/or a volatile salt; which improves the ease of handling of the physiologically active polypeptide powder in the process for producing the preparation; which makes it possible to industrially produce the sustained-release preparation in large scale; which provides a sustained-release preparation showing high and stable concentration of the active component in blood in long term, low initial release ratio of the physiologically active polypeptide, and high entrapment ratio of the polypeptide into the sustained-release preparation.
摘要:
The present invention includes a formulation which comprises an antibacterial substance and an antiulcer substance, wherein at least either of them is formulated into a gastrointestinal mucosa-adherent solid preparation. The formulation of the present invention shows long retention time in the gastrointestinal tract because of adhesion to the gastrointestinal tract mucosa, synergetically enhances the pharmaceutical effects of an antibacterial substance, specially antibiotic against Helicobacter pylori (HP) and an antiulcer substance, with very low doses of active ingredients, particularly the anti-HP antibiotic with low prevalence of side effects. The present agent is useful as an anti ulcer agent, showing potent anti-HP activity.
摘要:
This invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a non-peptide osteogenic promoting substance and a biodegradable polymer, which can be safely used as a prophylactic/therapeutic agent for various bone diseases (e.g., bone fractures).
摘要:
A method of producing sustained-release microcapsules which comprises dispersing a physiologically active polypeptide into a solution of a biodegradable polymer and zinc oxide in an organic solvent, followed by removing the organic solvent; which provides a sustained-release preparation showing a high entrapment ratio of the physiologically active polypeptide and its constant high blood concentration levels over a long period of time.

摘要:
The present invention provides a complex of human growth hormone and zinc containing human growth hormone and zinc at a molar ratio of about 1:1.6 to about 1:2.4, and a sustained-release preparation which comprises the complex of human growth hormone and zinc and a biodegradable polymer and which has a high entrapment ratio of human growth hormone and exhibits a stable sustained-release suppressing the initial burst.
摘要:
A bacterium of the genus Bacillus is transformed by introducing a vector incorporating DNA encoding an antibody; the resulting transformant is cultivated in a medium to produce and accumulate the antibody in an active form in the culture liquid. According to this method, a recombinant antibody can be easily produced in an active form in large amounts, owing to success in secretory expression using a bacterium of the genus Bacillus.
摘要:
The present invention provides a hybrid monoclonal antibody having specificities against fibrin and thrombolytic substance, a polydoma which produces said antibody and thrombolytic agent comprising said antibody and thrombolytic substance which is immunologically coupled thereto, and methods of using said antibody in combination with thrombolytic substance for lysis or removal of thrombi.
摘要:
The present invention discloses, a bispecific monoclonal antibody to an ansamitocin derivative and a target antigen, particularly tumor-associated antigen, which can carry an anasamitocin derivative in a stable and inactive form at other sites than the target and release the active-form ansamitocin derivative at the target site, so that an anticancer agent having excellent durability and selectivity with little adverse action can be prepared using the bispecific monoclonal antibody and ansamitocin derivatives.
