Methods and compositions for transporting drugs and macromolecules across biological membranes are disclosed. In one embodiment, the invention includes a method for enhancing transport of a selected compound across a biological membrane, wherein a biological membrane is contacted with a conjugate containing a biologically active agent that is covalently attached to a transport polymer. In one embodiment, the polymer consists of from 6 to 25 subunits, at least 50% of which contain a guanidino or amidino sidechain moiety. The polymer is effective to impart to the attached agent a rate of trans-membrane transport across a biological membrane that is greater than the rate of trans-membrane transport of the agent in non-conjugated form.
Compositions And Methods For Enhancing Drug Delivery Across And Into Epithelial Tissues

This invention provides compositions and methods for enhancing delivery of drugs and other agents across epithelial tissues, including the skin, gastrointestinal tract, pulmonary epithelium, and the like. The compositions and methods are also useful for delivery across endothelial tissues, including the blood brain barrier. The compositions and methods employ a delivery enhancing transporter that has sufficient guanidino or amidino sidechain moieties to enhance delivery of a compound conjugated to the reagent across one or more layers of the tissue, compared to the non-conjugated compound. The delivery-enhancing polymers include, for example, poly-arginine molecules that are preferably between about 6 and 25 residues in length.

US Classification:
623 148, 623 142
Abstract:
Cardiovascular cell proliferation in a blood vessel subjected to trauma, such as angioplasty, vascular graft, anastomosis, or organ transplant, can be inhibited by contacting the vessel with a polymer consisting of from 6 to about 30 amino acid subunits, where at least 50% of the subunits are arginine, and the polymer contains at least six contiguous arginine subunits. Exemplary polymers for this purpose include arginine homopolymers 7 to 15 subunits in length.

This invention provides compositions and methods for enhancing delivery of drugs and other agents across epithelial tissues, including the skin, gastrointestinal tract, pulmonary epithelium, ocular tissues and the like. The compositions and methods are also useful for delivery across endothelial tissues, including the blood brain barrier. The compositions and methods employ a delivery enhancing transporter that has sufficient guanidino or amidino sidechain moieties to enhance delivery of a compound conjugated to the reagent across one or more layers of the tissue, compared to the non-conjugated compound.

Abstract:
This invention provides compositions and methods for enhancing delivery of glucocorticoids and ascomycins such as hydrocortisone, cyclosporin and FK506 across into and across one or more layers of the skin for the treatment of psoriasis and other inflammatory diseases of the skin.

Transport reagents and conjugates of therapeutic agents linked to transport reagents are described. In particular, the transport reagents have a plurality of guanidinium moieties that are either contiguous or spaced along a backbone, but are sufficiently removed from the backbone via tethers, to allow their interaction with a cell or tissue surface, leading to uptake of the therapeutic agent.
