Patent number: 10101280Abstract: Featured are a device (20) and method for the detection of counterfeit pharmaceuticals and/or packaging therefore. Counterfeit pharmaceuticals are detected by visual inspection upon exposing a suspected counterfeit pharmaceutical to one or more light sources having different wavelengths, and observing the differences in color and/or brightness between the suspected counterfeit and a genuine pharmaceutical/packaging. In further embodiments, a image acquisition device acquires an image showing color and/or other visual effect(s) brightness of the suspect counterfeit and this image is compared to an image of a authentic pharmaceutical/packaging.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2016Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human ServicesInventors: Nicola Ranieri, Mark R. Witkowski, Robert Hammaker, William G. Fateley

Patent number: 9181276Abstract: The present invention includes methods for identifying modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands, e.g., by determining whether a test entity is suitable to interact with one or more interacting sites within the Venus flytrap domains of the chemosensory receptors, and modifiers capable of modulating chemosensory receptors and their ligands. The present invention also includes modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands having Formula (I), its subgenus, and specific compounds. Furthermore, the present invention includes ingestible compositions comprising the modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands and methods of using the modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands to enhance the sweet taste of an ingestible composition or treat a condition associated with a chemosensory receptor. In addition, the present invention include processes for preparing the modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2013Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: Senomyx, Inc.Inventors: Catherine Tachdjian, Donald S.

Publication number: 20040224366Abstract: Molecules comprising aminooxy groups are provided, wherein the aminooxy groups provide attachment sites for the covalent attachment of other molecules. In one embodiment, polyoxyethylene molecules comprising aminooxy groups are provided that can be conjugated to wide variety of biologically active molecules including poly(amino acids). In another embodiment, valency platform molecules comprising aminooxy groups are provided. The aminooxy groups can be used to form covalent bonds with biological molecules such as poly(amino acids). The aminooxy groups can, for example, react with poly(amino acids) modified to contain carbonyl groups, such as glyoxyl groups, to form a conjugate of the valency platform molecule and the biologically active molecule via an oxime bond. The valency platform molecules comprising aminooxy groups are advantageously reactive in the formation of conjugates, and they also can be readily synthesized to form a composition with very low polydispersity.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2004Publication date: November 11, 2004Inventors: David S.
