Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an air-permeable helmet having merits of being cool in summer and warm in winter by having an air stream control valve apparatus having air permeability. SOLUTION: The air-permeable helmet is designed for both excellent heat radiation effect and moisture retaining effect by having an air stream control valve apparatus having air permeability. The valve is arranged on the top of the helmet and is opened and closed to regulate air flow. In summer, the valve is pushed forward, air in the helmet flows through a large hole toward a space above the valve and a rain cover so as to relieve humid heat in the helmet. In winter, the valve is moved backward, tightly fitted to the rain cover to close the inside of the helmet so that circulation of air in the helmet is blocked and vent holes at both sides of the helmet are closed. A heat insulation cover avoids inflow of cold air outside the helmet and keeps the inside of the helmet warm. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides conjugates which comprise an insulin molecule conjugated via a conjugate framework to one or more separate ligands that include a first saccharide, and wherein the conjugate framework also comprises a fatty chain (e.g., a C8-30 fatty chain). In certain embodiments, a conjugate is characterized in that, when the conjugate is administered to a mammal, at least one pharmacokinetic (PK) and/or pharmacodynamic (PD) property of the conjugate is sensitive to serum concentration of a second saccharide. In certain embodiments, a conjugate is also characterized by having a protracted PK profile. Exemplary conjugates and sustained release formulations are provided in addition to methods of use and preparation.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides conjugates that comprise an insulin molecule conjugated via a conjugate framework to two or more separate ligands that each include a saccharide, wherein the framework, ligand, saccharide and insulin molecule optionally comprise a fatty chain (e.g., a C8-30 fatty chain), wherein when said insulin molecule is conjugated both to a C8-30 fatty chain and one or more separate ligands that each include a saccharide, said C8-30 fatty chain is linked to insulin molecule only, and wherein when the framework or ligand comprises a fatty chain the insulin molecule is conjugated to two or more separate ligands. In certain embodiments, a conjugate is characterized in that, when the conjugate is administered to a mammal, at least one pharmacokinetic (PK) and/or pharmacodynamic (PD) property of the conjugate is sensitive to serum concentration of a second saccharide. In certain embodiments, a conjugate is also characterized by having a protracted PK profile. Exemplary conjugates and sustained release formulations are provided in addition to methods of use and preparation.
Abstract:
Insulin conjugates comprising an insulin molecule covalently attached to at least one bi-dentate linker having two arms, each arm independently attached to a ligand comprising a saccharide and wherein at least one ligand of the linker is fucose are disclosed. The insulin conjugates display a pharmacokinetic (PK) and/or pharmacodynamic (PD) profile that is responsive to the systemic concentrations of a saccharide such as glucose or alpha-methylmannose even when administered to a subject in need thereof in the absence of an exogenous multivalent saccharide-binding molecule such as Con A.
