  • Use of polymer D-lactic acid (PDLA) or equivalents thereof to inhibit growth of cancer cells and diagnose cancers
    Patent number: 9382376
    Abstract: The invention provides method for sequestering or trapping L-lactate in or near a tumor cell comprising contacting an isolated polymer of D-lactic acid (PDLA) or an equivalent, derivative or analog thereof with the tumor cell so that the PDLA binds L-lactate in or near the cell and thereby sequestering or trapping L-lactate in or near the tumor cells.

  • OPIOID PEPTIDE ESTERS AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20130072438
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are opioid peptide conjugates (for example, opioid peptide esters). In some embodiments, the disclosed conjugates include an opioid peptide consisting of two to six amino acids and a moiety conjugated to the opioid peptide by an ester bond. In some examples, the moiety is an alcohol, a sugar, a lipid, or dehydroascorbic acid. Also disclosed are methods of altering nociception including administering an effective amount of one or more disclosed opioid peptide conjugates to a subject (such as a human subject).
