  • Patent number: 12285437
    Abstract: A pre-prodrug, comprising a drug, e.g., doxorubicin, which has off-target toxicity (e.g., cardiotoxicity) with respect to its antineoplastic activity, and an amine functionality of the drug incorporated into a disubstituted maleimide (DMI). The pre-prodrug may be linked to a targeting or de-targeting agent or a polar modulator, e.g., charged ligand, amino acid, peptide, etc., to increase therapeutic index. The pre-prodrug is hydrolyzed to the prodrug, having a disubstituted maleamic acid (DMA). A polar modulator such as glutamic acid prevents cellular uptake of the prodrug, but not the doxorubicin drug released from the prodrug after dissociation. The prodrug is pH sensitive, and below pH 7.0, tends to cleave to form free drug and cyclized maleic anhydride. Tumor environments tend to be more acidic, e.g., pH 6.8, than cardiac tissue, e.g., pH 7.4, and therefore the heart is spared while the drug is selectively released within a tumor.

  • Patent number: 12286494
    Abstract: A double-inverse opal photonic crystal resin film is formed by embedding nanospheres in pores of polyacrylate inverse opal framework material and then filling the pores of the double-inverse opal photonic crystal resin film with an ethanol solution with hydrophilic acrylamide dissolved therein followed by photopolymerization to form a polyacrylamide network, so as to obtain the double-inverse opal photonic crystal resin film using water as ink. A mass fraction of hydrophilic acrylamide in the ethanol solution is 2 to 8 wt. %. The resin film can induce water to penetrate into the pores of the double-inverse opal photonic crystal resin film, making the nanospheres in the pores of the inverse opal framework distribute from random to order under the action of buoyancy force, thereby eliminating scattering interference and producing brilliant structural colors by regulating refractive index contrast.
