  • Publication number: 20220305013
    Abstract: The present application provides a colloid drug aggregate composition and methods of use and manufacture thereof. While the formation of colloidal aggregates leads to artifacts in early drug discovery, their composition makes them attractive as nanoparticle formulations for targeted drug delivery. The present application provides an acid-responsive composition comprising: a colloidal aggregate of one or more drugs and a stabilizing agent, wherein the colloidal aggregate disrupts, dissolves or disassembles when the acid-responsive composition is in an acid environment having a pH of less than 7.4. The colloidal aggregate of the composition will disassemble upon contact with acid or upon introduction to an acidic environment, such as is found in the endosomes of cells. This approach makes this composition an attractive vehicle for drug delivery to a target site in a subject or to cells.

  • Publication number: 20090318711
    Abstract: ?-lactamases are the most widespread resistance mechanism to ?-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillins and cephalosporins. In response to these enzymes, inhibitors have been introduced. Unfortunately, these inhibitors are also ?-lactams, and resistance to them has developed rapidly. Consequently, the present invention provides a novel structure-based approach to inhibitors of these enzymes.

  • Patent number: 6887658
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of identifying compounds that non-specifically inhibit biological reactions. The present invention further includes kits that facilitate this identification. In addition, complications of compounds for use in high throughput drug screening that have been evaluated by the disclosed methodology are also part of the present invention. Further, the invention provides methods for identifying a false positive compound previously identified as positive in a screening assay by measuring the activity of at least one biological activity in the presence and absence of a small molecule compound capable of inhibiting aggregate formation, e.g., digitonin.
