  • Methods for treating joint pain using poly-gamma-glutamic acid
    Patent number: 7501396
    Abstract: Methods for treating joint pain such as temporomandibular joint disorders, osteoarthritis of the knee, hip and other types of inflammatory joint diseases. The methods involve the use of poly-gamma-glutamic acid.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 10, 2009
    Inventor: Albert G. Prescott
  • Polymer gel containing hyaluronic acid and collagen, and its use in joints
    Patent number: 7371399
    Abstract: Formulations and methods for treating joints, such as temporomandibular joint disorders, osteoarthritis of the knee, hip and other types of inflammatory joint diseases. The method involves identifying specific matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that may be responsible for degrading the soft tissues of the joint in question, identifying the specific component of the joint the MMP(s) are targeting, and injecting a polymer gel with the component the MMP(s) seek to destroy, thus preserving the joint and allowing time to heal. These formulations typically require a mixture of glycosoaminoglycans and collagen proteins. One formulation in particular includes both hyaluronic acid and at least type I collagen.

  • Method for producing medical and commercial grade poly-gamma-glutamic acid of high molecular weight
    Patent number: 7364875
    Abstract: Methods for producing high molecular weight poly-gamma-glutamic acid (PGA). The PGA is produced by fermentation, and purified by use of tangential flow filtration, followed by diafiltration, as necessary, to yield a product of the desired purity. Product obtained may be of very high purity using all the prescribed purification steps. Product of this purity is suitable for in vivo medical applications. Other applications, such as food or agricultural, may utilize lower purity levels, and hence do not require all the purification steps specified.
