7491537, Feb 17, 2009
Filed:
Nov 20, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/561847
Inventors:
Jason G Fewell - The Woodlands TX, US
Fiona MacLaughlin - Houston TX, US
Louis C Smith - Houston TX, US
Francois Nicol - Menlo Park CA, US
Alain Rolland - The Woodlands TX, US
Assignee:
Genetronics Biomedical Corporation - San Diego CA
International Classification:
C12N 15/00
C12N 15/87
A61K 31/715
C07K 1/00
US Classification:
435455, 435461, 435 691, 4353201, 544 44, 530300, 530350
Abstract:
A nucleic acid formulation for use in gene delivery comprising a nucleic acid and an anionic polymer is disclosed. Examples of the anionic polymer includes anionic amino acid polymer or poly-amino acid (such as poly-L-glutamic acid, poly-D-glutamic acid, poly-L-aspartic acid, poly-D-aspartic acid), poly-acrylic acid, polynucleotides, poly galacturonic acid, and poly vinyl sulfate.

View page
US Patent:
20030206910, Nov 6, 2003
Filed:
Sep 3, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/234405
Inventors:
Francois Nicol - Menlo Park CA, US
Jijun Wang - Pearland TX, US
Michael Coleman - The Woodlands TX, US
Fiona MacLaughlin - Belfast, GB
Alain Rolland - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
A61K048/00
US Classification:
424/178100, 514/044000
Abstract:
The invention features selected polymers such as poloxamer 188 (Pluronic F68), poloxamer 237 (Pluronic F87), poloxamer 401 (Pluronic L121), poloxamer 338 (Pluronic F108), Poloxamer 124 (Pluronic L44), Poloxamer 184 (L-64), and poloxamines (Tetronics 904, 908, 1107, and 90R4) that enhance expression from nucleic acids when administered into an organism, in particular to muscle, and further provides selected poloxamer formulations for delivery of nucleic acids to the liver.

Filed:
Dec 20, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/513383
Inventors:
Ken Shi Kun Huang - Castro Valley CA, US
Weiming Zhang - San Francisco CA, US
Guoyang Zhang - San Jose CA, US
