  • Frangible compounds for pathogen inactivation
    Patent number: 6514987
    Abstract: Compounds and methods for inactivating pathogens in materials are described, including compositions and methods for inactivating pathogens in biological materials such as red blood cell preparations and plasma. The compounds and methods may be used to treat materials intended for in vitro or in vivo use, such as clinical testing or transfusion. The compounds are designed to specifically bind to and react with nucleic acid, and then to degrade to form breakdown products. The degradation reaction is preferably slower than the reaction with nucleic acid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 2, 2000
    Date of Patent: February 4, 2003
    Assignee: Cerus Corporation
