  • Patent number: 10787675
    Abstract: A method of increasing the cannabinoid levels in a genetically modified Cannabis sativa plant includes genetically modifying the plant to induce the overexpression of the gene that controls the expression of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) synthase and/or cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) synthase. The overexpression of THCA synthase and CBDA synthase catalyzes an increased synthesis of cannabigerolic acid to tetrahydrocannabinolic acid and cannabidiolic acid, as well as the cannabinoids (3aR)-2,4,4-trimethyl-7-pentyl-3,3a,4,9b-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]chromen-9-ol and 2-((1R,5R)-3-methyl-5 -(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclopent-2-en-1-yl)-5-pentylbenzene-1,3-diol. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the modified cannabinoids produced by the transgenic Cannabis sativa plant or prepared synthetically are used to treat various diseases and conditions.

  • Patent number: 10570150
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a probe useful for the selective detection of metallo-beta-lactamases, in particular carbapenemases, thereby distinguishing those species of bacteria that are carbapenem-resistant from bacterial strains that are sensitive. Cephalospori based probes that have the 6,7 R,R configuration are susceptible to cleavage by beta-lactamases but cannot distinguish between cleavage by metallo-beta-lactamases and other beta-lactamases. By modifying a side group of the cephalosporin, selectivity can be introduced allowing the probes to distinguish between various types of metallo-beta-lactamases.

Compounds according to the present invention provide anti-cancer activity, at least in part, by virtue of their nucleotide intercalating activity through the use of analogs of (?)lomaiviticin A, a potent anticancer agent which exhibits cytotoxicity through its principal mechanism of cleavage and to a lesser extent, its intercalation of cellular polynucleotides, especially DNA. In additional embodiments, compounds according to the present invention are also conjugated and/or linked to other bioactive agents, especially agents which selectively target cancer cells (cancer cell targeting moiety or CCTM) to target and increase the delivery of the anticancer agent to the cancer cell.

  • Patent number: 8420837
    Abstract: A stabilized nano-Fe6-iron-crown ether complex is formed by preparing a solution of an iron salt and an olygomer crown compound in dialkylamine or diethylamine. Sodium tetrahydroboron (NaBH4) and dialkylamine or ethylendiamine are added at a temperature of 0-10° C. The mixture is heated to room temperature and boiled, thereby converting the formed iron (II)-borhydride complex (Fe(BH4)2) to a crown ether—iron-hydride complex [CWFe06]·(2H)6. At higher temperature this last complex is converted to the Fe06-crown nanocomposite complex.
