Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
81 words
A fibrinolytic pharmaceutical composition in unit dosage form suitable for administration by injection to humans which comprises an amount of a water soluble complex of a proteolytic enzyme sufficient to achieve the desired degree of fibrinolysis on administration to a human and linked covalently to a water-soluble polymeric substance having a molecular weight of from 10,000 to 500,000, said enzyme and said polymeric substance being present in the ratio of 1:2 to 1:50 said composition being substantially free of unreacted enzyme.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
81 words
A fibrinolytic pharmaceutical composition in unit dosage form suitable for administration by injection to humans which comprises an amount of a water soluble complex of a proteolytic enzyme sufficient to achieve the desired degree of fibrinolysis on administration to a human and linked covalently to a water-soluble polymeric substance having a molecular weight of from 10,000 to 500,000, said enzyme and said polymeric substance being present in the ratio of 1:2 to 1:50 said composition being substantially free of unreacted enzyme.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the proteolytic enzyme is trypsin, chymotripsin, bromelain, papain, pronase or brinase.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
A composition according to claim 2 wherein the enzyme is trypsin or pronase.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the water-soluble polymeric substance is a polysaccharide.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
A composition according to claim 4 wherein the polysaccharide is a dextran.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words
A composition according to claim 4 wherein the polysaccharide is a modified polysaccharide.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
14 words
A composition according to claim 6 wherein the modified polysaccharide is a sucrose-epichlorhydrin copolymer.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
A composition according to claim 1 in the form of a sealed ampoule containing a predetermined amount of the enzyme complex in a sterile freeze-dried form.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
34 words
A composition according to claim 1 in a form suitable for injection into humans wherein the enzyme complex is dissolved or suspended in sterile or pyrogen-free water or isotonic saline, at a predetermined concentration.
