Brizaida Maylin Oliva Argüelles 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).

  • Cancer Therapy Method
    Publication number: 20140206621
    Abstract: This invention describes a method for treating cancer by increasing the nuclear localization of the COMMD1 protein, which is associated with decreasing or blocking the proliferation of the cancer cell. The invention is also related to the use of agents that increase nuclear localization of the COMMD1 protein, in the manufacture of a medicament for cancer therapy. These agents can be peptides or proteins, among other compounds. The invention is also related to the optimization of a peptide, coming from the sequence HARIKPTFRRLKWKKYKGKFW, to increase the nuclear localization of the protein COMMD, and thus, to increase the antitumor effect of this peptide.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 8, 2013
    Publication date: July 24, 2014
    Applicant: CENTRO DE INGENIERÍA GENÉTICA Y BIOTECNOLOGÍA
    Inventors: Maribel Guerra Vallespi, Julio Raúl Fernández Massó, Alexis Musacchio Lasa, Jeovanis Gil Valdés, Osvaldo Reyes Acosta, Brizaida Maylin Oliva Argüelles
