| cost of peptide therapy: Peptide Therapeutics Ved Srivastava, 2019-08-28 Peptide therapy has become a key strategy in innovative drug development, however, one of the potential barriers for the development of novel peptide drugs in the clinic is their deficiencies in clearly defined chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) strategy from clinical development to commercialization. CMC can often become a rate-limiting step due to lack of knowledge and lack of a formal policy or guidelines on CMC for peptide-based drugs. Regulators use a risk-based approach, reviewing applications on a case-by-case basis. Peptide Therapeutics: Strategy and Tactics for Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls covers efficient manufacturing of peptide drug substances, a review of the process for submitting applications to the regulatory authority for drug approval, a holistic approach for quality attributes and quality control from a regulatory perspective, emerging analytical tools for the characterisation of impurities, and the assessment of stability. This book is an essential reference work for students and researchers, in both academia and industry, with an interest in learning about CMC, and facilitating development and manufacture of peptide-based drugs. |

| cost of peptide therapy: Development of Biopharmaceutical Drug-Device Products Feroz Jameel, John W. Skoug, Robert R. Nesbitt, 2020-03-13 The biotechnology/biopharmaceutical sector has tremendously grown which led to the invention of engineered antibodies such as Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs), Bispecific T-cell engager (BITES), Dual Variable Domain (DVD) antibodies, and fusion proteins that are currently being used as therapeutic agents for immunology, oncology and other disease conditions. Regulatory agencies have raised the bar for the development and manufacture of antibody-based products, expecting to see the use of Quality by Design (QbD) elements demonstrating an in-depth understanding of product and process based on sound science. Drug delivery systems have become an increasingly important part of the therapy and most biopharmaceuticals for self-administration are being marketed as combination products. A survey of the market indicates that there is a strong need for a new book that will provide “one stop shopping” for the latest information and knowledge of the scientific and engineering advances made over the last few years in the area of biopharmaceutical product development. The new book entitled Development of Biopharmaceutical Drug Device Products is a reference text for scientists and engineers in the biopharmaceutical industry, academia or regulatory agencies. With insightful chapters from experts in the field, this new book reviews first principles, covers recent technological advancements and provides case studies and regulatory strategies relating to the development and manufacture of antibody-based products. It covers topics such as the importance of early preformulation studies during drug discovery to influence molecular selection for development, formulation strategies for new modalities, and the analytical techniques used to characterize them. It also addresses important considerations for later stage development such as the development of robust formulations and processes, including process engineering and modeling of manufacturing unit operations, the design of analytical comparability studies, and characterization of primary containers (pre-filled syringes and vials).Finally, the latter half of the book reviews key considerations to ensure the development and approval of a patient-centered delivery system design. This involves the evolving regulatory framework with perspectives from both the US and EU industry experts, the role of international standards, design control/risk management, human factors and its importance in the product development and regulatory approval process, as well as review of the risk-based approach to bridging between devices used in clinical trials and the to-be-marketed device. Finally, case studies are provided throughout.The typical readership would have biology and/or engineering degrees and would include researchers, scientific leaders, industry specialists and technology developers working in the biopharmaceutical field. |

| cost of peptide therapy: The Power Foods Diet Neal Barnard, 2024-03-26 Dr. Neal Barnard’s new diet and plan offers an evidence-based, food-as-medicine protocol for kickstarting weight loss and keeping it off. Eat These Foods, Lose the Weight Weight loss is one of our top health concerns, so much so that we keep looking for good ways to lose weight, preferably a way that is easy, effective, and permanent. It turns out that, when properly chosen, certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the deprivation and planning that most weight-loss regimens require. In his next book, leading nutrition researcher and author Dr. Neal Barnard reveals three breakthroughs that are supported by research, revealing that certain foods: 1. can reduce the appetite 2. trap calories so they are flushed away and cannot be absorbed, and, 3. increase the body’s ability to burn calories for about three hours after each meal. These breakthroughs make weight loss incredibly easy, without calorie counting or deprivation. This diet encourages people to eat, not to stop eating. Dr. Barnard also reveals that some of the foods we think are good for us can actually be harmful, like salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil, all of which pass easily into body fat...and often overstay their welcome. To make it easy, Dr. Barnard will include a simple to follow meal plan that includes delicious, and even indulgent recipes which include foods we have often been told to avoid, like potatoes and pasta, so you can eat real food, and still lose real weight. |

| cost of peptide therapy: Antimicrobial Peptides: Utility Players in Innate Immunity Mark W. Robinson, Andrew T. Hutchinson, Sheila Donnelly, Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent an ancient group of molecules with diverse functions in innate immunity. To date, more than 1000 naturally-occurring AMPs have been identified which display considerable diversity in their primary sequences, lengths, structures and biological activities. Despite this variability, AMPs are broadly classified according to homologous secondary structures as cathelicidins (linear a-helical peptides), defensins (ß-strand peptides connected by disulfide bonds) and bactenecins (loop peptides). Most, but not all, AMPs are cationic with amphipathic faces. These biochemical properties bestow many peptides with potent antimicrobial activity by facilitating interactions with negatively charged microbial cell membrane components, thereby increasing membrane permeability and resulting in microbial death. Other indirect effects on microbial physiology have been reported including inhibition of DNA/RNA synthesis, impaired protein synthesis and folding, disruption of cell wall formation and inhibition of microbial cell metabolism. Thus, with the spread of antibiotic-resistant microbial pathogens, AMPs have emerged as exciting candidates for next generation anti-infective therapies. However, recent studies suggest that AMPs have evolved other mechanisms of pathogen clearance. Immunomodulation is a novel approach to antimicrobial therapy that centres on boosting host immunity rather than direct microbial killing. This is also an attractive means to treat sepsis and other immune-mediated diseases. Whilst several cationic peptides are under investigation as antimicrobial agents, a select few show a remarkable ability to protect against lethal endotoxaemia and clinically-relevant bacterial infections including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The molecular mechanisms responsible for this protection are only beginning to emerge but include prevention of innate cell activation by targeting key stages of bacterial endotoxin-mediated cell signalling. In this research topic, hosted by Frontiers in Molecular Innate Immunity, we aim to highlight key areas of AMP research including peptide diversity, structure-function relationships, antimicrobial activity and mechanisms of immune-modulation. We also aim to stimulate discussion on the emerging therapeutic potential of AMPs including antifungal, antiviral and anticancer applications. |

Unlike other ingredients, which work on skin's surface only, copper peptides reset your skin's genes to youth and health. This book is a comprehensive guide to copper peptides, written by a renowned biochemist Dr. Pickart, the discoverer of the original copper-peptide GHK-Cu. This is a detailed, easy-to-read and in-depth work on the use of copper peptides. The book provides a wealth of science-based information, plus scientific references to give you all the tools and knowledge you'll need to start using copper peptides. It includes information on everything from anatomy of the skin to step-by-step instructions. With easy-to-follow directions, you'll be able to address needs of aging skin, oily and acne-prone skin, or dry and sensitive skin, and more! You will find scientifically sound information on scars and stretch marks, brittle nails, thinning hair, sun care, and beauty nutrition. Considering growing popularity of copper peptide products, his book is a must-have for those who care about their skin's health and beauty. Not all copper-peptides are equal. Some of them can damage your skin, warns Dr. Pickart. Choosing the right copper peptide products, combining copper-peptides with other scientifically proven skin remedies, seeing through false advertising, preventing skin damage and accelerated aging, as well as helping skin rebuild and rejuvenate itself - those are just a few topics addressed in the book. Also included in the new book are the surprising and unexpected health protective actions of GHK (anti-cancer, anti-anxiety, anti-pain, anti-COPD, anti-inflammatory, stem cell activation, etc.) reported by many universities around the world. After completing this book, you won't just put it away. You will use it again and again as a great reference in your beauty endeavors. Dr. Pickart, Ph.D. has been studying copper peptides for over 40 years. He is truly passionate about sharing the sound scientific approach to skin rejuvenation and making this invaluable information available to everyone. There never has been a better time to fight aging and stay young, says Dr. Pickart, The copper-peptide molecules not only have the power to shift your skin's biology from aging to rejuvenation, they do it in a safe and gentle way. With copper peptides we can tune-up skin's DNA, just like a piano. This is a rejuvenating technology of the future. What's more, it is a very affordable and safe approach. This should be available to everyone. SKIN, HAIR, AND MANY DISEASES OF AGING In many controlled, peer-reviewed published articles, GHK was found to: - Tighten loose skin and thicken older skin - Repair protective skin barrier proteins - Improve skin firmness, elasticity, and clarity - Reduce fine lines, depth of wrinkles, and overall appearance - Reduce photodamage, mottled hyperpigmentation, skin spots and lesions - Improve overall appearance - Protect skin cells from UV radiation - Increase hair growth and thickness, enlarge hair follicle size ANTI-CANCER ACTIONS - GHK topped 1,309 genes as the best Broad Institute computer recommended bioactive for the treatment of human metastatic colon cancer. - GHK, at 1 nanomolar, resets the programmed cell death system in human cancer cells (human neuroblastoma, leukemia, and breast cancer). - GHK inhibits NFKB p65 which is believed to promote cancer growth. - Repair damaged DNA at cellular level at 1 nanomolar (47 genes UP, 5 genes down). - GHK-copper induces cell differentiation. - Resets 84 genes to growth inhibition or cancer inhibition. |
