COMPOSITIONS OF HUMANISED NOTCH FUSED PROTEINS AND METHODS OF TREATING Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C07K16/46 C07K14/705 A61K39/385 A61P37/00 A61P35/00 A61P9/00 A61P5/00 A61P3/04 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: what is presented is a fused protein that is a Notch1 antagonist, which consists of a human Fc region fused with the EGF-like repeat 1-13 of Notch1 or the EGF-like repeat 1-24 of Notch1. Fc-portion is localised on a carboxy-terminal portion of the EGF-repeat. There are described a pharmaceutical composition for the protein-based Notch signal transmission inhibition and using it for preparing the pharmaceutical composition for treating an individual suffering from: tumour; ovarian cancer; metabolic disorder; vascular proliferative retinopathy. What is presented is using the fused protein for producing the pharmaceutical composition for inhibition: angiogenesis in the individual; physiological lymphangiogenesis or pathological lymphangiogenesis in the individual; tumour deposits in the individual.

EFFECT: using the invention provides the proteins expressed in a supernatant at a level by several times more than the fused protein containing the EGF-like repeats 1-36 of Notch1; they penetrate into the tumour better, maintain a ligand-binding ability with the fused protein containing the repeats 1-24, binds to DLL4 and JAG1, whereas the fused protein containing the repeats 1-13 only binds to DLL4, but not to JAG1 that can find application in therapy of various diseases related to the Notch1 activity.
