  • PROTEASE INHIBITORS AND BROAD-SPECTRUM ANTIVIRAL
    Publication number: 20110152343
    Abstract: Caspace inhibition provides inhibition of viral infection across a wide collection of caspaces and viruses. Caspace inhibition, the prevention of the formation of active caspaces, can be achieved either through gene therapy, protein binding an inhibition, or through small molecule administration. Examples for small molecule inhibition allow the formation of a pharmacaphore to identify more and more active small molecules.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: June 23, 2011
    Applicant: Functional Genetics, Inc.
    Inventors: M. JAVAD AMAN, Michael Kinch, Sven Enterlein, Yunus Abdul
  • Generation of virus-like particles and use as panfilovirus vaccines
    Publication number: 20100143409
    Abstract: In this application are described filovirus-like particles for both Ebola and Marburg and their use as a diagnostic and therapeutic agent as well as a filovirus vaccine. Also described is the association of Ebola and Marburg with lipid rafts during assembly and budding, and the requirement of functional rafts for entry of filoviruses into cells.
