A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11951154B2) discloses a method for delivering therapeutics by administering a composition to a subject. The composition includes a polypeptide with a specific sequence, a heterologous moiety acting as the therapeutic agent, and certain characteristics that enhance the intracellular delivery of the therapeutic compared to its standalone form. The method aims to target specific cells or tissues, cross various biological barriers like the blood-brain barrier, and can be administered systemically to improve efficacy and reduce toxicity of the therapeutic.

Furthermore, the patent claims cover a wide range of variations and applications of the method, including the use of specific amino acids in the polypeptide sequence, different pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics profiles, reduced toxicokinetics, and non-parenteral administration routes. The heterologous moiety can possess various effector activities, targeted functions, or be linked to the polypeptide in different ways to achieve the desired therapeutic outcomes. With the potential to modulate biological activities, enzymatic functions, or receptor interactions, this method opens up new possibilities for improving drug delivery and enhancing the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.
