Patent number: 9586989Abstract: Methods are provided for administering compositions for topical dermatological treatment and resolution of skin cancer lesions in humans and domestic animals, including especially light skinned individuals of equine, bovine, porcine, canine and other species susceptible to developing skin cancer. The compositions used to treat and resolve the skin cancer lesions generally comprise complexation of peptone digests of various proteins with copper(II) salts, indium(III) salts, tin(II) salts, and tin(IV) salts. These compositions adhere tightly to the lesion surface, strongly resist enzymatic breakdown by the cancerous tissue, and possess very strong tissue remodeling actions.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2012Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Skin Biology, Inc.Inventors: Loren R. Pickart, Francoise D. Pickart

Patent number: 8183204Abstract: Skin remodeling is stimulated at the site of blemished skin using an ionic metal-peptide complex to diminish or remove the skin imperfection. The blemish can be a scar, especially surgical or wound scars, acne scars, keloid scars, and the like, or a skin tag, callus, benign skin mole, stretch marks, facial keratosis, thickened sunspots of the skin, or a vitiligo spot. The peptide-ionic metal complex is comprised of an ionic metal selected from copper(II), tin(II), tin(IV), and zinc(II), and salts thereof, and the peptide component can be a hydrolysis of casein, collagen, elastin, meat products, silk protein, or soybean protein, or a chemically synthesized dipeptide, tripeptide, tetrapeptide or the like which complexes with the ionic metal.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2008Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Summit Associates International Inc.Inventor: Loren R.
