Publication number: 20190227066Abstract: This invention is directed to methods for the facile and accurate identification of cancer cells in a tissue sample, such as a surgical field. In particular, the compositions and methods employ conjugates comprising pro-fluorescent fluorescein based moieties bound to folic or pteroic acid targeting moiety optionally through a linker. The pro-fluorescent fluorescein based moieties are non-fluorescent but capable of being rendered fluorescent by intracellular processes. The conjugates are employed to detect cancer cells that overexpress folic acid receptors thereby providing for differential accumulation of these conjugates in these cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2017Publication date: July 25, 2019Inventors: John FANTE, Theodore HESSLER, III, Robert MORIARTY, Richard PARIZA, Gerald F. SWISS, David WHITE

Publication number: 20180036312Abstract: Disclosed are folic acid or pteroic acid conjugates and methods for using such conjugates. The conjugates described herein comprise a chemotherapeutic drug or imaging agent covalently bound thereto through a bond or via a linker that is intracellularly disrupted by, e.g., endogenous enzymes such as esterases, lipases and the like so as to provide for the chemotherapeutic drug free of the folic or pteroic acid.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2017Publication date: February 8, 2018Inventors: Gerald F. SWISS, Robert MORIARTY, Richard PARIZA, David WHITE, John FANTE, Theodore HESSLER, III, Craig KESHISHIAN

Patent number: 8957106Abstract: A proliferation of cells can be reduced by contacting the cells with a compound having formula (I) where R and R? are each alkyl groups, R? is hydrogen or an alkyl group and X3, X4 and X5 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, benzyl, t-butyldimethylsiloxy radical and triphenylmethyl. Accordingly, compounds of formula (I) can be used for treatment of tumors including melanoma. Also a secretion of a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzyme by cells can be reduced by contacting the cells with the compound having formula (I). Accordingly, compounds of formula (I) can be used for treatment physiological conditions associated with an elevated MMP level, such as tumors.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2008Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: The Chancellor, Masters and Scholars of the University of OxfordInventors: Raymond Dwek, Wanda Buzgariu, Anca Hirtopeanu, Robert Moriarty, Gabriela Negroiu, Norica Nichita, Livia Zdrentu, Nicole Zitzmann
