Oxygen Of The Saccharide Radical Bonded To A Nonsaccharide Hetero Ring By Acyclic Carbon Bonding Patents (Class 514/32)
  • Patent number: 12070036
    Abstract: Plant parasitic nematodes prefer to infect uninfected over infected hosts. A specific mixture of pheromones (a.k.a. ascarosides) tells plant parasitic nematodes the host status. We use a mixture of pheromones to direct nematodes away from the healthy roots. The pheromone mixture will be used for seed treatments to protect plant roots from infection by telling the nematodes that the plant is already infested and that they should move away and find new hosts. Chemical synthesis of pheromones is expensive, particularly when it is contains multiple compounds. Therefore, we obtained a partial mixture from Steinernema growth medium which provided 15% more directional movement away from the application site. We complete the necessary pheromone from the growth medium of Heterorabditis species to direct nematodes away from the seeds and roots of healthy plants. The pheromone mixture will be used to in the irrigation water or seed treatment to direct the plant parasitic nematodes away from the plant roots.

  • Patent number: 11926862
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of therapeutics and, more in particular, to pharmaceutical compositions for the prevention and/or treatment of bacterial infections and antibacterial-induced dysfunctions. The compositions of the present invention demonstrate high species-specificity in inhibiting the growth of a small number of bacterial species, and most importantly are effective also against multi drug resistant (MDR) clinical isolate species. Interestingly, one of those combinations pairs a non-antibiotic drug, vanillin, with an antibiotic drug, spectinomycin, to demonstrate a surprisingly strong inhibitory effect on the growth of clinically relevant Gram-negative pathogenic and multi-drug resistant E. coli isolates. A second set of compounds combines the polymyxin colistin with loperamide, a rifamycin, or a macrolide.

  • Patent number: 10736326
    Abstract: Nematode dispersal is one of the key features for success as a biocontrol agent. Currently, commercially available nematodes do not disperse sufficiently when they are applied to a field. Since the insect target is mobile, nematodes need to be actively moving and seeking an insect host. We developed a pheromone extract from nematode growth medium that disperses nematodes. This extract was unstable in liquid form. We have found that the extract can be dried to retain activity during storage or shipment. Exposing nematodes to pheromone extract before they are applied to a field activates them to disperse and seek a new host. This exposure needs to be at least 20 min. When nematodes are actively seeking a new host this increases nematode insect encounter and increases insect mortality leading to increased effectiveness of insect nematodes as biological control agents.

  • Patent number: 9919000
    Abstract: Proton mopping is a new anti-cancer therapeutic approach that disrupts cancer's immunologic balance. It results in the alteration of the pHi/pHe ratio (intracellular-extracellular) of the cancer cell, leading cancer to either normalcy or apoptosis. This technology deploys a chemical compound that has two parts, a glucose part to guide the molecule to the cancer site and a proton neutralizer to mop up the protons. Proof of the validity of this therapeutic approach came after using an existing chemical compound 2-[2(2-Aminoethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl a-D-mannopyranoside, C12H25NO8, which has the above mentioned properties. This compound is of the class of functionalized PEGylated glycosides, which are ligands for conjugation to biological molecules.
