    Abstract: Peptides having four to six amino acid residues are disclosed that possess biological activity. These peptides constitute short fragments of the peptide HB-107 (MPKEKVFLKIEKMGRNIRN) (SEQ ID NO: 10), which itself is a fragment of the antimicrobial protein cecropin B, and exhibit cell stimulatory and migratory properties. The inventive peptides comprise four to six contiguous amino acid residues located between position 11 and 16 of HB107 (MPKEKVFLKIEKMGRNIRN) (SEQ ID NO: 10), namely EKMGRN (SEQ ID NO: 1). The disclosed peptides comprise a useful agent for the medical treatment of injury to the skin, such as from diabetic ulcers. The peptides also are effective in preventing and reversing skin surface damage resulting from various environmental insults. Importantly, the therapeutic effects of the peptides manifest at concentrations equal to or greater than those of peptide HB-107 (SEQ ID NO: 10), and thus represent a less expensive, more versatile means for developing effective therapies.

  • Publication number: 20140341837
    Abstract: A composition and method useful in promoting hemostasis, absorbing ooze, and being antimicrobial with respect to an open wound. The composition broadly includes an antimicrobial agent, preferably povidone iodine, preferably a ferrate compound, and a cation ion exchange resin. This composition will destroy a biofilm which has formed over the open wound in providing a soluble iron compound, a cation chelation compound, and an active antimicrobial compound effective against planktonic microorganisms and biofilms. The antimicrobial agent is locked or sealed within the scab formed over the wound to maintain long-term positioning and anti-dilution of the antimicrobial over the wound.

  • Publication number: 20140328776
    Abstract: Compositions, kits and methods of preparing a biocompatible film for cosmetic or medical uses are disclosed. The compositions or kits contain polyvinyl acetal (PVA), siloxane and a solvent. The siloxane can have a hydrophilic group. Once the solvent content is reduced, for instance, by evaporation, the mixture of PVA and siloxane is solidified, forming a film. The compositions and kits, optionally, further include one or more of an antimicrobial agent, a pigment, an anti-inflammatory agent, an anesthetic agent or a hemostatic agent. Such a film can be used, for example, in the form of an antimicrobial sealant, a liquid bandage, body paints, scar camouflage, water-proof sun block, makeup sealer, or antimicrobial wipe or spray.
