  • Patent number: 11708353
    Abstract: The present application provides compounds, such as compounds of Formula Ia, which are inhibitors of aminoacyl tRNA-synthetase (e.g., prolyl-tRNA-synthetase), and which are useful for treating disorders associated with aminoacyl tRNA-synthetase activity and/or expression. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and methods of using the compounds are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 10, 2019
    Date of Patent: July 25, 2023
    Assignees: The General Hospital Corporation, President and Fellows of Harvard College
    Inventors: Ralph Mazitschek, Sofia A. Santos, Mark A. Tye, N. Connor Payne, Dyann F. Wirth

  • Patent number: 10436768
    Abstract: The disclosed methods use a multi-phase system to separate samples according to the density of an analyte of interest. The method uses a multi-phase system that comprises two or more phase-separated solutions and a phase component such as a surfactant or polymer. The density of the analyte of interest differs from the densities of the rest of the sample. The density of the analyte of interest is substantially the same as one or more phases. Thus, when the sample is introduced to the multi-phase system, the analyte of interest migrates to the phase having the same density as the analyte of interest, passing through one or more phases sequentially.

  • Patent number: 9857353
    Abstract: A kit for separating a sample comprising one or more biological analytes of interest using a multi-phase system comprising: a) two or more phase components selected from the group consisting of a polymer, a surfactant, and combinations thereof; b) optionally a tag molecule capable of binding the one or more biological analytes of interest; and c) instructions for: (i) combining the two or more phase-separated solutions with a common solvent to create a multi-phase system; (ii) optionally, combining the biological analyte of interest and tag molecule, and (iii) separating the biological analyte of interest from the sample.
