Method for treating tumor expressing neuropilin 1 with chlorotoxin agent
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11826399B2) discloses a method for treating tumors expressing Neuropilin 1. The method involves determining the expression of Neuropilin 1 in a tumor sample from a subject and administering a chlorotoxin agent to the subject if the tumor is found to express Neuropilin 1. The chlorotoxin agent contains a specific polypeptide sequence that binds to Neuropilin 1, with the option to include a therapeutic payload such as anti-cancer agents like BCNU, cisplatin, or paclitaxel.
Furthermore, the patent claims cover the use of chlorotoxin agents associated with targeting moieties, imaging moieties, or detectable moieties for various applications. These applications include imaging tissues, diagnosing cancer, detecting cancerous tissues for removal, and identifying tumors during surgery. The chlorotoxin polypeptide's ability to bind Neuropilin 1 is confirmed through in vitro binding assays, ensuring its efficacy in targeting tumors expressing Neuropilin 1. Additionally, the method allows for the administration of chemotherapeutic agents in conjunction with the chlorotoxin agent for enhanced treatment outcomes.
