Patents by Inventor Antonio Claudio TEDESCO

Antonio Claudio TEDESCO has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12054398
    Abstract: Copper ion-doped carbon dots (Cu-CDs) and a preparation method thereof are disclosed. The preparation method includes the following steps: using copper nitrate as a dopant to generate a complex of polyacrylic acid and copper ions as a precursor by an in situ polymerization; standing overnight, and performing repeated suction filtration to collect filter residues; then, performing pyrolysis and carbonization to generate carbonized products, dispersing in ultrapure water, taking a supernatant, and then performing extraction and purification to obtain the CDs. When the Cu-CDs prepared by the present invention are used in photodynamic therapy, photothermal/photodynamic synergistic therapy is not required, and the Cu-CDs are suitable for the therapeutic process of skin cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, brain glioma, as well as some skin diseases and ophthalmological diseases.

  • Publication number: 20130197100
    Abstract: The invention “colloidal nanoscale carriers for active hydrophilic substances and method for producing same” pertains to the field of medical, odontological or hygiene preparations, and is characterized by structures formed by hydrophilic polymers that contain active hydrophilic substances coated with a non-hydrophilic phase and surfactants with affinity for the components, forming an invert emulsion that allows the incorporation and controlled delivery of active hydrophilic substances, conferring properties such as protection against degradation processes, improvement of compatibility with the other components of the formulation in the final product, increase in the availability and/or bioavailability of the active substance in the medium of interest (including improvements in permeation processes in biological materials, reduction of the exposure and volatilization of the active substance in the medium) and controlled release of the active substance(s).
