  • METHODS AND COMPOSITION FOR USE OF CYCLIC ANALOGUES OF HISTATIN
    Publication number: 20100173833
    Abstract: Provided are novel compositions and therapeutic methods for treating bacterial and fungal disease with cyclic analogues of histatin. The cyclic analogues of histatin are advantageously more potent but less toxic than currently used anti-microbial agents. In addition, compositions comprising the cyclic analogue with other anti-microbial agents such as azole compounds are disclosed.

  • METHODS FOR DETECTION OF PREECLAMPSIA
    Publication number: 20100113286
    Abstract: Biomarkers associated with preeclampsia were identified. Nine proteins were identified as being differentially regulated between the control and the under 28-weeks preeclamptic samples. Similarly three proteins were identified as being differentially regulated between the control and the over 28-weeks preeclamptic samples. These 12 proteins can be used as potential biomarkers in the diagnosing and prognosing of preeclampsia.

  • Cyclic analogs of histatins
    Patent number: 6555650
    Abstract: Cyclic analogues of histatin H-5, having from about 7-20 amino acid units exhibiting substantial homology to histatin H-5, and having a cyclic portion of from 5-16 of the amino acid units, have been found to exhibit enhanced bio-activity against a variety of different microorganisms. The cyclic structure is imparted by replacement of naturally occurring amino acids in histatin-5 sequences by, for example, by cysteine units, so as to cause cyclization through formation of disulfide bridges.
