  • Metal-based coordination complexes as photodynamic compounds and their use
    Patent number: 10766915
    Abstract: Compositions of the invention include metal-based coordination complexes, which are preferably tunable photodynamic compounds. The compositions and complexes are useful as therapeutic agents and as in vivo diagnostic agents for treating or preventing diseases including those that involve hyperproliferating cells in their etiology, such as cancer. Compositions and complexes of the invention are further capable of destroying microbial cells, such as bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, and destroying viruses. The compositions and complexes are also capable of modulating cell function in other ways.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 8, 2020
    Inventor: Sherri Ann McFarland
  • Metal-based thiophene photodynamic compounds and their use
    Patent number: 9676806
    Abstract: Compositions of the invention include tunable metal-based thiophene photodynamic compounds useful as therapeutic agents and as in vivo diagnostic agents for treating or preventing diseases that involve hyperproliferating cell etiology including cancer and diseases associated with hyperproliferating cells. The compositions are also useful for treating infectious diseases and for pathogen disinfection.
