Patent number: 11459308Abstract: The present invention is related to the development of therapeutics and prophylactics for the treatment and/or prevention of filovirus infection in humans and other mammals. A new class of small molecules is disclosed that inhibits the interaction of naturally processed (i.e., proteolytically cleaved) filovirus glycoprotein (GPCL) with its host receptor Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) protein and thus block infection of host cells by filoviruses. Also disclosed are methods of using the small molecule inhibitors in the treatment/prevention of filovirus infection.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2017Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignees: Microbiotix, Inc., Albert Einstein College of Medicine, The Government of the United States as Represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Terry L.

Publication number: 20130051529Abstract: A method and system for facilitating the identification and/or authentication of objects, and to a method and system for the marking of objects with an identity and/or as of authentic origin, and a set of objects marked to facilitate subsequent identification and/or authentication are described. The marking comprises incorporating into an object or part thereof or onto a tag mechanically engaged therewith a marker material exhibiting a characteristic radiation interaction response to incident high-energy ionizing radiation from a test source that is known to vary spectroscopically across the spectrum of the source. The presence or otherwise of the marker material may be determined by subsequent interrogation of an object with a suitable radiation source and detector to infer whether an object is of marked identity or origin.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2011Publication date: February 28, 2013Inventors: Arnab Basu, Ian Radley, Max Robinson
