  • Publication number: 20040029897
    Abstract: Compounds and methods for inactivating pathogens in materials are described, including compositions and methods for inactivating pathogens in biological materials such as red blood cell preparations and plasma. The compounds and methods may be used to treat materials intended for in vitro or in vivo use, such as clinical testing or transfusion. The compounds are designed to specifically bind to and react with nucleic acid, and then to degrade to form breakdown products. The degradation reaction is preferably slower than the reaction with nucleic acid.

  • Patent number: 6686480
    Abstract: Psoralen compound compositions are synthesized which have substitutions on the 4, 4′, 5′, and 8 positions of the psoralen, which yet permit their binding to nucleic acid of pathogens. Reaction conditions that photoactivate these bound psoralens result in covalent crosslinking to nucleic acid, thereby inactivating the pathogen. Higher psoralen binding levels and lower mutagenicity results in safer, more efficient, and reliable inactivation of pathogens. In addition to the psoralen compositions, the invention contemplates inactivating methods using the new psoralens.

  • Publication number: 20030185804
    Abstract: Psoralen compounds are synthesized which have substitutions on the 4, 4′, 5′, and 8 positions of the psoralen, which permit enhanced binding to nucleic acid of pathogens. Higher psoralen binding levels and lower mutagenicity are described, resulting in safer, more efficient, and reliable inactivation of pathogens in blood products. The invention contemplates inactivation methods using the new psoralens which do not compromise the function of blood products for transfusion.

  • Publication number: 20030082510
    Abstract: Psoralen compound compositions are synthesized which have primaryamino substitutions on the 3-, 4-, 5-, and 8-positions of the psoralen, which yet permit their binding to nucleic acid of pathogens. Reaction conditions that photoactivate these psoralens result in the inactivation of pathogens which contain nucleic acid. The compounds show similar activity in test systems to 4′ and 5′ derivatives of psoralen useful for inactivation of pathogens in blood products. In addition to the psoralen compositions, the invention contemplates such inactivating methods using the new psoralens.

  • Publication number: 20020182581
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating pathogens in material are described, including methods of decontaminating human fluids prior to processing in the clinical laboratory and methods for decontaminating blood products prior to in vivo use. The techniques handle large volumes of human serum without impairing the testing results. Novel compounds for photodecontaminating biological material are also contemplated which are compatible with clinical testing, in that they do not interfere with serum analytes.
