  • Publication number: 20230109833
    Abstract: The present invention is related to the development of therapeutics and prophylactics for the treatment and/or prevention of bacterial infections in humans and other mammals. A new class of small molecules is disclosed that inhibits the bacterial trans-translation/ribosome rescue mechanism and thus blocks infection of host cells by bacteria. Also disclosed are methods of using the small molecule inhibitors in the treatment/prevention of bacterial infections.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 13, 2022
    Publication date: April 13, 2023
    Applicants: MICROBIOTIX, INC., THE PENN STATE RESEARCH FOUNDATION
    Inventors: Zachary D. Aron, Steven M. Kwasny, Matthew C. Torhan, Jay P. Barbor, Steven C. Cardinale, Michelle M. Butler, Timothy J. Opperman, Kenneth C. Keiler

  • Patent number: 11459308
    Abstract: The present invention is related to the development of therapeutics and prophylactics for the treatment and/or prevention of filovirus infection in humans and other mammals. A new class of small molecules is disclosed that inhibits the interaction of naturally processed (i.e., proteolytically cleaved) filovirus glycoprotein (GPCL) with its host receptor Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) protein and thus block infection of host cells by filoviruses. Also disclosed are methods of using the small molecule inhibitors in the treatment/prevention of filovirus infection.
    Type: Grant
