    Abstract: Provided herein is a method for synthesizing polynucleic acids, comprising the steps of (a) providing an acidic solution substantially free of nucleic acid polymerase and lipids, but containing mononucleotides and a monovalent salt; (b) drying and resolubilizing the mixture of step (a) a plurality of times; and (c) recovering polynucleic acids from a resolubilized mixture of step (b). In certain aspects, the method further uses a low pH, e.g. about 3; it can utilize monophosphates, such as AMP rather than ATP; and it can be used with a polynucleotide template to form a sequence at least partially complementary to said template. Thus, both single-stranded and double-stranded polynucleic acids are provided. Ammonia salts have been used to obtain RNA lengths from 10 to 300 nucleotides after 16 half hour cycles and an effective temperature includes between 80° C. and 100° C.

  • Publication number: 20160229890
    Abstract: Preclinical data obtained in models of chemotherapy-induced mucositis, radiation-induced mucositis, neutropenic infection and colitis indicate oral mucositis is a promising indication for Innate Defense Regulator (IDR) peptides. Preclinical efficacy results obtained with IDRs in mouse and hamster models of mucositis indicate that dosing every third day should be able to cover the mucositis “window” with seven to fourteen doses, depending on the duration of chemotherapy or radiation exposure. IDRs have also shown efficacy in mouse models of chemotherapy-induced oral and gastrointestinal mucositis, consistent with the response of the innate immune response to chemotherapy and/or radiation damage. IDRs are also effective at reducing bacterial burden and improve survival in the presence or absence of antibiotic treatment in various murine infection models.
