Publication number: 20220218636Abstract: Compositions and methods for using cyclopropanated structural analogs of fatty acid biofilm dispersal agents are characterized by superior biofilm dispersion. When used in combination with antimicrobials, these analogs decrease the minimum inhibitory concentration of antimicrobial agents required for eradication of the biofilm and/or treatment of infection. Methods for using these analogs include direct application to a surface, blending with lipid based carriers, or covalent anchoring the molecule to a surface. Typically, the cyclopropanated structural analog has the structure according to formula (I): wherein R1 is a C1-C24 linear or branched alkyl group; or an acid halide or acid anhydride thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2022Publication date: July 14, 2022Applicant: The University of Memphis Research FoundationInventors: Jessica Amber JENNINGS, Daniel Lee BAKER, Rukhsana AWAIS, Zoe HARRISON, Babatunde RAJI

Patent number: 8969590Abstract: Classes of compounds that exhibit effective inhibition of autotaxin enzymes are provided. Such classes include thioureas, diphenyldiazerenes, xanthenes, and isoindoles and exhibit reactivity with autotaxin to ultimately reduce the size of the reactive sites thereon to prevent conversion of lysophosphatidyl choline to lysophophatidic acid. Furthermore, such compounds can be incorporated within delivery forms for human ingestion. As such, these compounds accord an excellent manner of potentially reducing generation of certain cancers attributable to the presence of naturally occurring autotaxin within the human body. Methods of inactivating autotaxin to certain degrees therewith such compounds are encompassed within invention as well.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2012Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Inventors: Abby Louise Parrill-Baker, Daniel Lee Baker
