  • Patent number: 8822524
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a species of peptide and non-peptide inhibitors of Akt, an oncogenic protein. Beginning with a residue of Akt target substrate GSK-3, the functional domains of the GSK-3 residue were characterized. Functionally homologous non-peptide groups were substituted for the amino acids of the GSK-3 creating a hybrid peptide-non-peptide and non-peptide compounds capable of binding to Akt. The non-peptide compounds show increased stability and rigidity compared to peptide counterparts and are less susceptible to degradation. The bound non-peptide compounds exhibit an inhibitory effect on Akt, similar to peptide-based Akt inhibitors.

  • Patent number: 8415393
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for the design and identification of novel antimicrobial compounds, and provides antimicrobial compounds identified using these methods. These antimicrobial compounds inhibit the binding of a prokaryotic single-stranded DNA binding protein to a polypeptide that binds to the prokaryotic single-stranded DNA binding protein. In some examples, the prokaryotic single-stranded DNA binding protein is prokaryotic Exonuclease I. In one embodiment, the antimicrobial compound has the structure wherein Y is selected from the group consisting of CH2, O, and NH, R1 is selected from the group consisting of H, F, Cl, Br, and I, R2 is selected from the group consisting of H and CF3, R3 is selected from the group consisting of H and CO2H, R4 is selected from the group consisting of H and OH, and R5 is selected from the group consisting of H, alkoxy, and NO2.

  • Patent number: 8394357
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an improved optical method and optical sensing device for determining the levels of polyhydroxyl-substituted organic molecules in vitro and/or in vivo in aqueous media. The range of detection is between about 400 and 800 nm. In particular, a sensory devise is implemented in a mammal to determine sugar levels. Specifically, a dye is combined with a conjugated nitrogen-containing heterocyclic aromatic boronic acid-substituted bis-onium compound in the presence of a sugar, such as fructose or glucose. The viologens are preferred as the aromatic conjugated nitrogen-containing boronic acid substituted compounds. The method is useful to determine sugar levels in a human being.
