Patents by Inventor Tingmin Wang

Tingmin Wang 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).

  • Protected forms of a combination of pharmacologically active agents and uses therefor
    Patent number: 6306842
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided conjugates of a combination of pharmacologically active agents (e.g., NSAIDs and selective COX-2 inhibitors). Invention conjugates provide a new class of pharmacologically active agents (e.g., anti-inflammatory agents) which provide the therapeutic benefits of both NSAIDs and selective COX-2 inhibitors, while causing a much lower incidence of side-effects then are typically observed with such agents due to the protective effects imparted by modifying the pharmacologically active agents as described herein.
    Type: Grant

  • Conjugates of dithiocarbamate disulfides with pharmacologically active agents and uses therefor
    Patent number: 6274627
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided conjugates of physiologically compatible free radical scavengers (e.g., dithiocarbamate disulfides (DD)) and pharmacologically active agents (e.g., NSAIDS). Invention conjugates provide a new class of pharmacologically active agents (e.g., anti-inflammatory agents) which cause a much lower incidence of side-effects due to the protective effects imparted by modifying the pharmacologically active agents as described herein. In addition, invention conjugates are more effective than unmodified pharmacologically active agents because cells and tissues contacted by the pharmacologically active agent(s) are protected from the potentially damaging effects of free radical overproduction induced thereby as a result of the co-production of free radical scavenger (e.g., dithiocarbamate), in addition to free pharmacologically active agent, when invention conjugate is cleaved.

  • Substituted cyclic compounds and mixtures comprising same
    Patent number: 6191273
    Abstract: Novel chemical compounds and mixtures of same are provided having antibacterial and other utilities. The mixtures preferably are formed by reacting a cyclic scaffold moiety with a set of chemical substituients. Libraries formed in accordance with the invention have utility per se and are articles of commerce. They can be used to screen for pesticides, drugs and other biologically active compounds.
