Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The pharmaceutical use of lipases related to the Thermomyces lanuginosus ( Humicola lanuginosa ) lipase comprising amino acids 1-269 of SEQ ID NO: 2, optionally in combination with a protease and/or an amylase. Examples of medical indications are: Treatment of digestive disorders, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI), pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, diabetes type I, and/or diabetes type II. The lipases of the invention have, e.g., an improved digestion performance in vitro, an improved activity at a pH in the neutral range, an improved stability at low pH, and are stable against protease-degradation, and/or are stable in the presence of pepsin and bile salts. The invention also relates to methods of determining digestion performance in vitro of lipases, as well as to certain novel variants of the lipase of T. lanuginosus.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An isolated variant lipase which (a) has at least 90% identity to the sequence of amino acids 1-269 of SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) has lipase activity; and which, (c) as compared to the sequence of amino acids 1-269 of SEQ ID NO: 2, comprises substitutions N33Q+T231R+N233R and at least one substitution selected from the following: G38A,D,F,H,I,K,L,M,N,P,Q,S,T,W,Y; and G163A,C,D,E,H,I,K,L,M,N,P,Q,R,S,T,V,W,Y. 2. The isolated variant lipa…
