Publication number: 20130149535Abstract: The present invention provides nano-, meso- and micro-polymer particles which are able to bind pathogenic proteins penetrating into the lining layer of the lung. Known pathogenic proteins in the pulmonary lining layer are negatively charged. These proteins damage the pulmonary surfactant system which is essential to maintain a low surface tension in the lung and thus a functional respiration. Polymer particles of this invention have a diameter between 20 nm and 10 ?m, are water-insoluble, have a positive surface charge and a low surface hydrophobicity. The isoelectric point of said particles is greater than 5 to that said particles are present in the lining layer of the lung as positively charged particles, and at the same time higher than the isoelectric point of the pathogenic protein to be bound. Polymer particles of this invention can for example be prepared using the precipitation or emulsion method.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2011Publication date: June 13, 2013Applicant: Justus-Liebig-Universitat GiessenInventors: Moritz Beck-Broichsitter, Thomas Schmehl, Tobias Gessler

Patent number: 8338600Abstract: The invention at hand describes Cu-(II)-oxygen adduct complexes, which are stable at room temperature, as well as methods for their production. In this, compounds of the general formula [L-Cu—O—O—Cu-L](BAr4)2 are concerned. Here, BAr4? is a tetraarylborate anion, selected from tetraphenylborate and tetrakis(3,5-trifluoromethyl)phenylborate. L represents a tripodal tetradentate ligand, wherein, each of the four binding sites of the tripodal tetradentate ligand is a nitrogen atom.
