Abstract

Described herein are MetAP-2 inhibitors and compositions and formulations thereof, and more particularly compositions and formulations of MetAP-2 inhibitors wherein the MetAP-2 inhibitor is associated with a block copolymer comprising a hydrophilic polymer moiety and a hydrophobic polymer moiety. The present invention also relates to compositions and formulations comprising MetAP-2 inhibitors for oral administration or administration via routes such as topical or ocular administration. The present invention also provides methods to treat conditions associated with or related to the over-expression or over-activity of MetAP-2 by administering the compositions and formulations comprising MetAP-2 inhibitors as disclosed herein.

Claims (4)

1. A composition for oral administration comprising micelles comprised of TNP-470 covalently associated with a poly(ethylene glycol)/poly(d,L-lactic acid) diblock copolymer.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said TNP-470 is covalently linked to the poly(d,L-lactic acid) moiety of said diblock copolymer.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition is used to treat an autoimmune disease which results in inflammation of the eye.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition is used to treat uveitis.
