New modified human tumour necrosis factoralpha , TNFalpha , (I) , able to generate, in humans, neutralising antibodies (Ab) to wild-type human TNFalpha (Ia): (a) has >= 1 fragment of TNF substituted by a peptide containing an immunodominant T-cell epitope, or (b) is a truncated form of (a) containing an immunodominant epitope and one or both flanking regions of TNF, including >= 1 TNFalpha B-cell epitope. The substitution causes a significant change in the amino acid (aa) sequence of any one of the strands in the front beta -sheet (fbS), any of the connecting loops and/or any of the B', I or D strands in the back beta -sheet (bbS). Also new are: (1) dimers, oligomers and multimers of (I); (2) isolated DNA (II) that encodes (I); (3) (expression) vectors containing (II); (4) hosts transformed with the expression vector, and (5) fusion proteins (FP) of (I) with an immunological adjuvant.
Enhancement of the efficacy of nifedipine by deuteration
-
, (2008/06/13)
A method of enhancing the efficiency and increasing the duration of action of drugs (e.g. dihydropyridines and anti-bacterials) and particularly of nifedipine and penicillins wherein one or more hydrogen atoms are deuterated and wherein the deuterated drug has unexpectedly improved properties when used in much lower concentrations than unmodified drug. A method for determining the identity and bioequivalency of a new drug is also disclosed wherein the molecular and isotope structure of a new drug is determined by isotope ratio mass spectrometry and compared with the molecular and isotope structure of a known human drug.
