Libuse Bobek 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).

  • D-isomers of antimicrobial peptide
    Patent number: 7271239
    Abstract: This invention provides D-isomers of MUC7-12-mer peptide of human saliva MUC7. The isomers have antimicrobial activity comparable to that of the L-isomers and are resistant to proteolysis. These peptides can be used as antifungal and antimicrobial agents.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 26, 2005
    Date of Patent: September 18, 2007
    Assignee: The Research Foundation of State University of New York
    Inventor: Libuse A. Bobek

  • Antifungal and antibacterial agents
    Patent number: 6790833
    Abstract: The present invention discloses peptides obtained from the MUCD1 domain of the saliva mucin glycoprotein MUC7. The peptides are between 8 and 20 amino acids in length and have a net positive charge. The peptides are obtained from the C-terminus of the MUC7D1 protein. These peptides are useful as antifungal and antibacterial agents. A method of using these peptides as antifungal and antibacterial agents is also disclosed.
