ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein are improved processes for preparing variant human t-PA proteins exhibiting improved pharmacokinetic properties relative to natural t-PA. One such illustrated variant, devoid of amino acids corresponding to amino acids 1 through 44 of natural t-PA, is shown to exhibit a plasma half-life of greater than about 15 times the plasma half-file of natural t-PA, as well as a clearance rate of less than about 1/10 the clearance rate of natural t-PA. Also disclosed are improved processes for treating vascular disease employing pharmaceutical compositions which incorporate therapeutically effective amounts of such t-PA variants with pharmaceutically acceptable diluents or excipients.
