Ashish K. Pathak 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).

  • Small molecule inhibitors of bacterial motility and a high throughput screening assay for their identification
    Patent number: 8940740
    Abstract: Certain compounds are provided that can selectively inhibit motile bacteria such as V. cholerae motility. These compounds can indirectly diminish production of cholera toxin and other major virulence required by the cholera bacterium to cause disease.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 28, 2011
    Date of Patent: January 27, 2015
    Assignee: Southern Research Institute
    Inventors: Ashish K. Pathak, Jorge A. Benitez, Anisia J. Silva-Benitez
  • ANTI-VIRAL TREATMENT AND ASSAY TO SCREENFOR ANTI-VIRAL AGENT
    Publication number: 20130085133
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel compounds of formulas (1) through (19) and to a method for treating humans infected with a virus including various respiratory viruses such as members of the Paramyxoviridae family (respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), human parainfluenza virus (HPIV), measles virus, and mumps virus) with a compound of formulas (1) through (19). The present disclosure also relates to a cytopathic effect (CPE)-based assay that will assess virus-induced CPE for screening of compounds for treating viral diseases or inhibiting a virus.
