A composition includes two exogenous enzymes from animals for consumption by human beings to prevent, treat and/or alleviate veisalgia and/or symptoms associated therewith arising from or caused by consumption or spontaneous production of alcohol through a dual-enzyme based breakdown of the alcohol, wherein a first enzyme of the two exogenous enzymes is capable of converting alcohol into a first metabolite while a second enzyme thereof is capable of converting the first metabolite into a second metabolite which is excretable to systemic circulation after an oxidation reaction of the alcohol in the presence of the two exogenous enzymes and NAD/NADH, and wherein the first enzyme to the second enzyme is in a molar ratio of 1:3-51 in the composition in order to avoid an elevation in the level of the first metabolite in the human being.

Dual-enzyme composition for preventing, treating and/or alleviating veisalgia and symptoms associated therewith

The present invention relates to the production of the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the Spike glycoprotein 1 of the SARS-CoV-2 in mammalian cell expression systems, and the successive method of purification thereof. A recombinant plasmid containing the coding sequence of said RBD is produced and transfected in said mammalian cells, for example, Expi293. A high level of the protein is secreted in the medium and subsequently purified using the N-terminal tag, that can be removed by a specific protease. The present invention also includes a recombinant expression vector carrying the RBD gene, the successive methods for protein purification, the strategy for establishing a stable cell line producing the RBD, methods of use of the recombinant protein in formulating a pharmaceutical composition, including but not limited to, vaccines for preventing SARS-CoV-2 induced diseases.

Efficient expression system of SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD), methods for purification and use thereof

A composition including two exogenous enzymes from animals for consumption by human being before and/or after consuming alcohol to prevent, treat and/or alleviate veisalgia and/or symptoms associated therewith arising from or caused by excessive consumption of alcohol through a dual-enzyme based breakdown of the excess alcohol is provided, wherein a first enzyme of the two exogenous enzymes is capable of converting alcohol into a first metabolite while a second enzyme thereof is capable of converting the first metabolite into a second metabolite which is excretable to systemic circulation after an oxidation reaction of the alcohol in the presence of the two exogenous enzymes and NAD/NADH; the first enzyme to the second enzyme is in a molar ratio that maintains a ratio between the first and second metabolites in the human being so as to avoid local elevation of the first metabolite in the human being after consumption of excess alcohol.

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition containing albumin-binding arginine deiminase (AAD) fusion protein for treating cancer or other arginine-dependent diseases. The AAD fusion protein can be purified from both soluble and insoluble fractions of crude proteins, binds to human serum albumin (HSA) or animal serum albumin and has its high activity with longer half life for efficient depletion of arginine in cancer cells. The specific activities of wild-type ADI and AAD fusion protein in the present invention are about 20 and about 19 U/mg (at physiological pH 7.4), respectively. The composition can be used alone or in combination with at least one chemotherapeutic agent to give a synergistic effect on cancer treatment and/or inhibiting metastasis. The AAD fusion protein can also be used as a component for detection and quantitative analysis of arginine in a testing kit for various samples including blood, food and analytical samples.

Cells within liver tumour mass comprise a unique set of proteins/tumour antigens when compared to the normal liver tissues epithelial cells juxtaposed to the tumour. The presence of tumour antigens couples the production of auto-antibodies against these tumour antigens. The present invention relates to the identification and elucidation of a protein set that can act as a novel marker set for liver cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Specifically, it relates to a kit that enables diagnostic and prognostic measurement of auto-antibodies in serum of liver cancer patients. The present invention provides a non-invasive, specific, sensitive, and cost effective detection and quantification method by evaluating a set of validated liver cancer proteins/tumour antigens, which includes Bmi-1, VCC1, SUMO-4, RhoA, TXN, ET-1, UBE2C, HDGF2, FGF21, LECT2, SOD1, STMN4, Midkine, IL-17A or IL26, to complement the conventional diagnostic methods.

Specific biomarker set for non-invasive diagnosis of liver cancer

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition containing hemoglobin-based therapeutic agent for treating cancer. The hemoglobin moiety can target cancer cells and the therapeutic moiety (i.e. active agent/therapeutic drug) can kill the cancer cells efficiently. The hemoglobin-based therapeutic agent used in the present invention can be used in the treatment of various cancers such as pancreatic cancer, leukemia, head and neck cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer and brain cancer. The composition can be used alone or in combination with other therapeutic agent(s) such as chemotherapeutic agent to give a synergistic effect on cancer treatment, inhibiting metastasis and/or reducing recurrence. The presently claimed hemoglobin-based 5FU-two-dye conjugate and/or hemoglobin-based 5FU-one-dye conjugate can also be used in live-cell imaging and diagnostic imaging.

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition containing albumin-binding arginine deiminase fusion protein (AAD) for treating cancer or other arginine-dependent diseases. The AAD fission protein can be purified from both soluble and insoluble fractions of crude proteins, it binds to human serum albumin (HSA) and has its high activity with longer half life for efficient depletion of arginine in cancer cells. The specific activities of wild-type ADI and AAD in the present invention are 8.4 and 9.2 U/mg (at physiological pH 7.4), respectively. The AAD used in the present invention can be used in the treatment of various cancers (e.g. pancreatic cancer, leukemia, head and neck cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer & brain cancer) and curing arginine-dependent diseases. The composition can be used alone or in combination with at least one chemotherapeutic agent to give a synergistic effect on cancer treatment and/or inhibiting metastasis.
