Summary for Patent: 9,255,261
Title:Ultrapure hypoallergenic solutions of sacrosidase
Abstract: One aspect provides an ultrapure, hypoallergenic sacrosidase. Another aspect provides a solution of sacrosidase in about 1:1 glycerol/water having an enzymatic activity of at least about 7500 IU/mL and a residual papain concentration that does not include an allergic reaction in a human patient when given a dose of about 2.0 mL/day.
Inventor(s): Reardan; Dayton T. (Shorewood, MN), Seekamp; Christopher (Brookfield, WI)
Assignee: QOL Medical LLC (Vero Beach, FL)
Application Number:14/175,263
Patent Claims:1. Hypoallergenic sacrosidase prepared by a process comprising: (a) digesting an aqueous suspension of saccharomyces cerevisiae at a pH of about 7.0 with an amount of papain effective to cleave non-sacrosidase proteins in said suspension while not cleaving sacrosidase in said suspension; (b) acidifying and filtering the digested suspension to remove cell debris yield an acidified filtrate; (c) treating the acidified filtrate with one or more decolorizing agents to yield a decolorized suspension; (d) filtering and concentrating the decolorized suspension to yield a concentrated sacrosidase solution; (e) diafiltering the concentrated sacrosidase solution to yield a solution of-hypoallergenic sacrosidase, wherein the primary structure of the sacrosidase is a 513 amino acid polypeptide that is glycosylated, and wherein the solution has a sacrosidase activity of at least about 22,000 IU/mL in water at a pH of about 4.6 .+-.0.1 and has a residual papain level of less than about 50 ppb (50 nanograms/mL) papain.

2. The sacrosidase of claim 1 wherein step (d) comprises sparkler filtration followed by ultrafiltration.

3. The sacrosidase of claim 1 wherein the decolorizing agent comprises activated charcoal.

4. The sacrosidase of claim 1 wherein the diafiltration is carried out against four or more volumes of citrate buffer.

5. The sacrosidase of claim 1 further comprising adding about 45-54 wt-% glycerol to the aqueous solution of sacrosidase.
