Cambrex Announces New Liquid-Phase Peptide Synthesis Manufacturing Technology

0

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cambrex, a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), today announced that Snapdragon Chemistry, a Cambrex company, has successfully developed a new liquid-phase peptide synthesis (LPPS) technology that utilizes traditional active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) batch reactors and continuous flow, obviating the dependency on specialized, solid-phase reactors. This new LPPS technology materially reduces solvent demand and the need for excess reagents compared to standard solid-state peptide synthesis processes.

"Over the past several years, we have made significant investments in the research and development of complex synthetics, specifically to reduce the economic and environmental impacts of manufacturing peptides and oligonucleotides," said Dr. Matt Bio, Chief Scientific Officer, Cambrex. "Our new LPPS technology provides a significantly more cost-efficient and environmentally sustainable solution when compared to traditional solid-phase peptide synthesis, substantially reducing solvent usage and allowing the substitution of sustainable solvents."

The LPPS technology supports peptides up to 12 residues long, while larger peptides are then assembled in liquid phase, using a convergent fragment coupling approach. Processes developed with Cambrex’s LPPS technology can be scaled in the same way as traditional small molecules.

In addition to the LPPS, Cambrex also developed unique capabilities in peptide and protein crystallization, including a crystallization screening platform specifically for the discovery of crystalline forms of peptides and proteins. Crystallization can deliver improved product quality and stability and reduce the need for time-consuming preparative chromatography and lyophilization.

"With the clinical and commercial successes of peptide-based therapies, it’s imperative that we provide industry-leading solutions to develop and scale peptide candidates," said Thomas Loewald, CEO at Cambrex.

Cambrex will continue to invest in R&D across complex synthetic modalities, including further technology development for peptides, as well as new research on the application of artificial intelligence for the optimization of oligonucleotide processes.

About Snapdragon Chemistry
Snapdragon Chemistry, a Cambrex company, specializes in active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) batch and continuous flow process development, utilizing state-of-the-art automation technology and proprietary equipment to solve complex process and analytical development challenges. With R&D and manufacturing headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, Snapdragon’s 70+ employees come with strong ties to the local scientific community, with 31 PhD scientists on staff.

Xinhua Silk Road: Overseas media professionals immerse themselves in NW. China's Yulin culture

0

BEIJING, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — An overseas media team consisting of 10-odd chief editors and journalists from countries such as Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka, Spain, and Romania immersed themselves in Yulin culture during their visit to Yulin City in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province from September 12 to 14.

The media professionals visited Northern Shaanxi Folk Song Museum, the largest cultural and industrial development center for northern Shaanxi folk songs in China. Through six specialized exhibition areas, they gained a comprehensive understanding of the history and current development of folk songs in northern Shaanxi. Distinctive live performances and 5D cinema offered the media team an immersive experience of the charming northern Shaanxi folk songs.

Through music, culture can be passed down from generation to generation, said Serik Korzhumbayev, editor-in-chief of Delovoy Kazakhstan, adding that he felt the spirit of people in northern Shaanxi and the regional culture through the singers’ voice and beautiful melody.

At the intangible cultural heritage exhibition hall in Yulin’s Yuyang District, overseas media friends learned paper-cutting. Isaura Diez Millan, chief correspondent of Latin American News Agency in China, said the exhibition hall is interesting. It helps visitors have a deeper understanding of Yulin’s intangible cultural heritage and promote mutual understanding and respect among different civilizations.

The team also visited Shimao Museum in Shenmu City under the jurisdiction of Yulin. The museum is dedicated to the culture of Shimao, which is an archaeological site with a stone-built city dating back approximately 4,000 years.

A large number of artifacts unearthed at the Shimao site and those from the same period, including jade, stoneware, pottery, bone tools, stone carvings and colorful murals, were displayed in the museum, enchanting the overseas media practitioners.

Marveled at the Shimao civilization, Yasiru Bandara Ranaraja, founder and director of Belt & Road Initiative Sri Lanka, said the exhibits were a testament to the existence of a highly prosperous group of people about 4,000 years ago, who not only mastered advanced farming and hunting techniques, but also had profound cultural and religious heritage. The excavation and protection of Shimao relics have set an good example, ensuring the pass-down of the precious cultural heritage and having a profound impact on China and even the whole world.

Sirnaomics Announces Demonstration of a Novel Mechanism of Action of Its siRNA Therapeutics for Focal Fat Reduction in Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology

0

HONG KONG, GERMANTOWN, Md., and SUZHOU, China, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sirnaomics Ltd. (the "Company", Stock Code: 2257, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group" or "Sirnaomics"), a leading biopharmaceutical company engaging in discovery and development of advanced RNAi therapeutics, today announced that the company in collaboration with Dr. Mark Nestor’s team from the Center for Clinical and Cosmetic Research in Miami Florida has jointly published a major breakthrough for its novel siRNA therapeutics revealing a novel mechanism of action of a significant reduction of adipose tissue in preclinical animal models. This groundbreaking work entitled "Novel injectable polypeptide nanoparticle encapsulated siRNA targeting TGF-β1 and COX-2 for localized fat reduction I: Preclinical in vitro and animal models", published at Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024; 00:1-11, creates a solid foundation for the Company’s RNAi-based therapeutic program for focal fat reduction treatment.

The study evaluates the efficacy of STP705, an injectable containing siRNA encapsulated within histidine-lysine polypeptide (HKP) nanoparticles targeting transforming growth factor β1 (TGF- β1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), crucial mediators in adipocyte differentiation and fat retention, using in vitro experiments on mouse preadipocytes and in vivo trials using Diet Induced Obese (DIO) mice and Yucatan minipigs. The study results indicated that STP705 effectively reduced the expression of TGF-β1 and COX-2, with a notable decrease in adipocyte volume and lipid content without apparent adverse systemic effects. In DIO mice, the HKP- siRNA complex demonstrated precise localization to injected adipose tissue, maintaining significant gene silencing, and detectable levels of siRNA for up to 14 days post-administration. The data in minipigs showed a significant reduction in subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness up to 56 days post-administration. In conclusion: These studies support the use of targeted-siRNA therapy specifically targeting TGF-β1 and COX-2, for localized fat reduction, offering a potential minimally invasive alternative to current fat reduction methods.

Mark S. Nestor, M.D., Ph.D., a recognized world expert in clinical research in clinical Dermatology and aesthetics, who is a Voluntary Professor at the Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery and the Department of Surgery, Division of Plastic Surgery at the University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine and serves as Director of the Center for Clinical and Cosmetic Research™ and the Center for Cosmetic Enhancement®, Aventura, Florida, is the senior author of this publication; he comments: "The results of all of the pre-clinical studies clearly indicate the significant potential of STP705 to use as a safe and effective method of reducing localized fat accumulation and sets the stage for the clinical pathway for this indication."

Dr. Patrick Lu, the founder, Chairman and CEO of Sirnaomics, comments, "The latest publication indicated that Sirnaomics’ leading drug candidate, STP705, has exhibited a novel mechanism of action, by specifically silencing TGF-β1 and COX-2 in the subdermal adipose tissue, resulted in localized fat reduction.  The preclinical studies not only showed that It is safe and very well-tolerated, but also achieved preliminary efficacy in inducing adipocyte apoptosis and tissue remodeling, suggesting a safer alternative or adjunct to existing fat reduction therapies."
