A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240034749A1) outlines a method for purifying hemopexin and haptoglobin from a plasma fraction sample. The process involves steps such as dissolving the sample, performing strong and weak anion exchange chromatography, titrating the solution, and purifying the proteins separately. The method does not involve pre-treatment for pH titration before chromatography and does not include a precipitation step by salt addition. The resin used in the chromatography steps includes various options like Q Sepharose Fast Flow and Toyopearl DEAE. The purified hemopexin and haptoglobin can be mixed to form a pharmaceutical composition for preventing, ameliorating, or treating hemolysis mediated diseases like sickle cell disease and acute kidney injury.

Furthermore, the patent claims specify details such as the source of the plasma fraction sample, the dissolution buffer composition, and the elution buffer for haptoglobin. The method ensures the removal of impurities like aggregation factors and ceruloplasmin while adjusting the conductivity of the solution. The process involves sequential chromatography, buffer exchange, and concentration steps for both hemopexin and haptoglobin purification. The administration of a pharmaceutical composition containing the purified proteins is proposed for treating hemolysis mediated diseases in patients. Overall, the patent provides a detailed and systematic approach to purifying hemopexin and haptoglobin, highlighting its potential application in therapeutic interventions for various medical conditions related to hemolysis.
