Gregory Brian Thomas 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).

  • Patent number: 8496963
    Abstract: Oral formulations of G-2MePE including microemulsions, coarse emulsions, liquid crystals, tablets and encapsulated forms of G-2MePE have improved bioavailability than conventional aqueous formulations. In particular, microparticles, nanoparticles and microemulsions can exhibit great neuroprotective effects after oral administration. In a microemulsion formulation, G-2MePE can nearly completely inhibit cerebral infarction in an animal model of stroke even after the stroke had been initiated. Thus, improved oral formulations can be desirably used to treat a variety of neurodegenerative conditions with improved convenience and improved efficacy.

  • Patent number: 7605177
    Abstract: This invention provides analogs and peptidomimetics of glycyl-L-prolyl-L-glutamic acid (GPE). In particular, this invention relates to GPE analogs and peptidomimetics that are anti-apoptotic, anti-necrotic and have neuroprotective effects. These agents are useful in treating neurodegeneration and behavioural disorders caused by toxins, traumatic brain injury and autoimmune disorders of the brain, such as multiple sclerosis and in reducing seizures.

  • Patent number: 7282342
    Abstract: GPE antibodies recognize GPE with high specificity. When used in a radioimmunoassay, they reliably measure the concentration of GPE. They may be used to extend the half-life of GPE both in vivo and in vitro, and in methods of purifying the GPE receptor. Two methods of rpHPLC accurately revolve GPE on the basis of its hydrophobicity.
