Abstract

It is disclosed a pharmaceutical composition containing an oligonuclelotide chelate complex and at least one polypeptide or pegylated polypeptide. The present disclosure also describes additional pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the treatment of diseases including viral infections.

Core Innovation

The disclosure describes pharmaceutical compositions that combine an oligonucleotide (ON) chelate complex with antiviral polypeptides or pegylated derivatives of antiviral polypeptides. The ON chelate complex is formed from two or more ONs linked intermolecularly by a divalent cation, and the composition comprises at least one specified biologically active agent.

The specified biologically active agents include thymosin b11, interferon polypeptides across multiple subtypes (b1, b2, b3, and bb) and pegylated derivatives thereof, including interferon b1-2a, interferon b1-2b, interferon b1-N3, interferon b2-1a, interferon b2-1b, interferon b3-1b, and interferon bb1/bb2/bb3. The composition set also includes Myrcludex B, antiviral cytokines or pegylated derivatives thereof, and thymic protein A.

The background problem addressed is that chelation is described as mitigating ON administration-related side effects such as fever/chills and injection-site reactions, while also being described as capable of improving pharmacokinetics without reducing biochemical activity. The disclosure supports formulation compatibility across ON chemistries and diverse polypeptide forms, and provides characterization showing chemical integrity of the ON chelate/polypeptide compositions.

Claims Coverage

The provided set includes multiple independent claims. One independent claim broadly covers a pharmaceutical composition with an ON chelate complex linked by a divalent cation and at least one of a listed antiviral polypeptide/cytokine set, and additional independent claims specifically pair an ON chelate complex with selected interferons/pegylated interferons or thymosin b11.
