  • Patent number: 7893020
    Abstract: This invention relates to the field of antimicrobial agents and more specifically it relates to Efflux Pump Inhibitor (EPI) compounds to be co-administered with antimicrobial agents for the treatment of infections caused by drug resistant pathogens. The EPI compounds are soft drugs which exhibit a reduced propensity for tissue accumulation. The invention includes novel compounds useful as efflux pump inhibitors, compositions and devices comprising such efflux pump inhibitors, and therapeutic use of such compounds.

  • Patent number: 7879795
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are Efflux Pump Inhibitor (EPI) compounds that can be co-administered with antimicrobial agents for the treatment of infections caused by drug resistant pathogens. The EPI compounds are soft drugs which exhibit a reduced propensity for tissue accumulation. It is demonstrated that the EPIs can be used to increase the potency, decrease bacterial resistance and development of bacterial resistance, and increase killing effectivness of tigecycline. Also disclosed are methods of treatment and pharmaceutical compositions for co-administering tigecylcine with an EPI.

  • Publication number: 20090023144
    Abstract: The invention provides a method and its kit for quantitatively detecting a specific analyte with a single capturing agent. The quantitative detection of a specific analyte with a single capturing agent comprises: firstly combining the tested analyte with a solid phase capturing agent, then labeling analyte which has been trapped by the capturing agent with a report molecule; secondly eluting the labeled analyte from the complex, recombining the tested analyte with a new solid phase capturing agent, and ascertaining the content of analyte by detecting the report molecule's label signal. The kit of the invention comprises a capturing device, a detecting device, a report molecule for labeling and an analysis substance eluate. The advantages of the invention are the need of one single capturing agent, the capability of detecting for many analytes which can't be tested at present, wide application, high sensibility and low noise.

  • Publication number: 20070059709
    Abstract: This disclosure describes isolated or purified deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) sequences, useful for the development of antibacterial agents, which contain the coding sequences of bacterial pathogenesis genes or essential genes, which are expressed in vivo. It further describes isolated or purified DNA sequences which are portions of such bacterial genes, which are useful as probes to identify the presence of the corresponding gene or the presence of a bacteria containing that gene. Also described are hypersensitive mutant cells containing a mutant gene corresponding to any of the identified sequences and methods of screening for antibacterial agents using such hypersensitive cells. In addition it describes methods of treating bacterial infections by administering an antibacterial agent active against one of the identified targets, as well as pharmaceutical compositions effective in such treatments.
