  • Patent number: 9586974
    Abstract: A group of cyclic N-acyl O-amino phenol CBI derivatives were synthesized and shown to be pro-drugs, subject to reductive activation by cleavage of a N-0 bond, effectively releasing the free drug in functional in vitro cellular assays for cytotoxic activity approaching the activity of the free drug, yet remain essentially stable to ex vivo DNA alkylation conditions. Assessment of the in vivo antitumor activity of a representative pro-drug indicates that a contemplated pro-drug approaches the potency and exceeds the efficacy of the free drug itself (CBI-indole2), indicating that the inactive pro-drugs not only effectively release the free drug in vivo, but that they offer additional advantages related to a controlled or targeted release in vivo.

  • Patent number: 9586987
    Abstract: The present invention provides a primer set including primers that can be designed easily, with which an amplification distance can be shortened. Provided is a primer set for use in a method for isothermally amplifying a target nucleic acid sequence 4. The primer set includes a first primer 1F and a second primer 1R. The first primer 1F includes, on the 3? side thereof, a sequence (A?) that can hybridize to a sequence (A) on the 3? side of the target nucleic acid sequence. The second primer 1R includes, on the 3? side thereof, a sequence (B?) that can hybridize to a sequence (B) on the 3? side of either a strand extended from the first primer or a complementary strand of the target nucleic acid sequence 4. The first primer 1F and the second primer 1R include, on the 5? sides thereof, sequences (C) that are substantially identical to each other.

  • Patent number: 9586988
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are non-natural amino acids and polypeptides that include at least one non-natural amino acid, and methods for making such non-natural amino acids and polypeptides. The non-natural amino acids, by themselves or as a part of a polypeptide, can include a wide range of possible functionalities, but typical have at least one aromatic amine group. Also disclosed herein are non-natural amino acid polypeptides that are further modified post-translationally, methods for effecting such modifications, and methods for purifying such polypeptides. Typically, the modified non-natural amino acid polypeptides include at least one alkylated amine group. Further disclosed are methods for using such non-natural amino acid polypeptides and modified non-natural amino acid polypeptides, including therapeutic, diagnostic, and other biotechnology uses.

  • Patent number: 9586989
    Abstract: Methods are provided for administering compositions for topical dermatological treatment and resolution of skin cancer lesions in humans and domestic animals, including especially light skinned individuals of equine, bovine, porcine, canine and other species susceptible to developing skin cancer. The compositions used to treat and resolve the skin cancer lesions generally comprise complexation of peptone digests of various proteins with copper(II) salts, indium(III) salts, tin(II) salts, and tin(IV) salts. These compositions adhere tightly to the lesion surface, strongly resist enzymatic breakdown by the cancerous tissue, and possess very strong tissue remodeling actions.
