Patent number: 11912645Abstract: The invention is based on the discovery of a new bacterial compound with analgesic properties which could be used as a new tool for the treatment of pain disorders such as visceral pain. Studying the mechanisms implicated in analgesic properties of the probiotic Escherichia coli strain Nissle 1917 (EcN), inventors characterized, the amino fatty acids produced by EcN, which display the Ecn analgesic properties. One of these compounds inhibits the hypersensitivity to colorectal distension induced by capsaicin, which is a very powerful nociceptive compound and acts via the GABA B receptor. Furthermore, inventors demonstrate that this compound is able to cross the cellular epithelial barrier (such as the intestinal epithelium). Thus, the invention relates to a lipopetide compound, derived from gamma-aminobutyric acid. The invention also relates to a lipopeptide compound according to the invention for the treatment of treating pain disorder, such as somatic pain and visceral pain.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2018Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignees: INSERM (INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTÉ ET DE LA RECHERCHE MÉDICALE), CENTRE HOSPITALIER UNIVERSITAIRE DE TOULOUSE, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE—CNRS—, ECOLE NATIONALE VETERINAIRE DE TOULOUSE, UNIVERSITE PAUL SABATIER TOULOUSE III, INSTITUT NATIONAL DE RECHERCHE POUR L'AGRICULTURE, L'ALIMENTATION ET L'ENVIRONNEMENT, UNIVERSITE DE MONTPELLIER, ECOLE NATIONALE SUPERIEURE DE CHIMIE DE MONTPELLIERInventors: Nicolas Cenac, Justine Bertrand-Michel, Teresa Perez-Berezo, Thierry Durand, Jean-Marie Galano, Julien Pujo, Eric Oswald, Patricia Martin, Pauline Le Faouder, Alexandre Guy

Patent number: 11911920Abstract: A temporary-storage system that includes a temporary-storage belt, a control unit and signalling means. The temporary-storage belt comprises a plurality of regularly distributed sensors. During a loading phase, the control unit receives information coming from at least one of the sensors when an object is deposited on the temporary-storage belt and records a trace of the deposition of the object in association with a reference to each of the sensors activated by the deposition. During an unloading phase, the control unit determines a sequence of removal of the objects and, for each object to be removed, identifies the sensors referenced, transmits to the signalling means signalling information identifying the position of the object, and receives information coming from at least one of the sensors when the object is removed.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: UNIVERSITE DE BRETAGNE SUDInventors: Pierre Bomel, Eric Martin
