Patent number: 6828450Abstract: This invention provides analogs of triptycene which are useful as anticancer drugs, as well as for other uses. The potency of these compounds is in a similar magnitude as daunomycin, a currently used anticancer drug. Each compound of the invention produces one or more desired effects (blocking nucleoside transport, inhibiting nucleic acid or protein syntheses, decreasing the proliferation and viability of cancer cells, inducing DNA fragmentation or retaining their effectiveness against multidrug-resistant tumor cells).Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2001Date of Patent: December 7, 2004Assignee: Kansas State University Research FoundationInventors: Duy Hua, Jean-Pierre Perchellet

Publication number: 20040058346Abstract: The present invention provides a polynucleotide cleavage agent switched on by photo-irradiation and a method of cleaving or decomposing a polynucleotide such as DNA or RNA using this agent switched on in this manner. More specifically, said polynucleotide cleavage agent switched on by photo-irradiation comprises cyclopropane or a 2,2-dihalogeno-cyclopropane ring between “A” unit and “B” unit, wherein said “A” unit is an aromatic group having an electron withdrawing property and is excited by photo-irradiation, and said “B” unit is a hydrophilic functional group. Said polynucleotide cleavage agent may further contain “C” unit which can recognize DNA sequences, and also a spacer molecule, if desired.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2003Publication date: March 25, 2004Applicant: TOTTORI UNIVERSITYInventors: Toshiyuki Itoh, Keiko Ninomiya, Masahiko Shishido

Patent number: 5650399Abstract: Anthraquinone derivatives are constructed for alkylation of target molecules. The anthraquinone derivative includes an anthraquinone ring system which has been modified by the addition of inducibly reactive substituents at positions on the ring system. The anthraquinone ring system can be selectively activated for alkylation of a target molecule. The substituents may be from 1 to 4 methyl groups, whereupon activation is achieved by a photochemical signal. In an additional alternative embodiment, the inducible reactive substituents may include both methyl groups and substituted methylene groups. In this embodiment, the activation of the anthraquinone derivative is achieved by photochemical and/or reductive signals. Alternatively, the substituents may be from 1 to 8 methyl groups modified to include a reactive group, whereupon activation is achieved by a chemical or enzymatic reductive signal. The anthraquinone derivatives of the invention may be used for non-specific modification of target molecules.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 1995Date of Patent: July 22, 1997Assignee: The Research Foundation of State University of New YorkInventors: Steven E.
