Granted: 2008-03-18
Abstract: Nuclear Factor NF-.kappa.B is a protein specific to B cells, binds to a specific DNA sequence within the immunoglobin light chain .kappa. locus enhancer region, and plays a central role in various responses, due to rapid induction of gene expression. NF-.kappa.B controls the expression of various inflammatory cytokines, the major histocompatibility complex gene s, and adhesion molecules involved in tumor metastasis. The present invention is drawn to the inhibition of activation of NF-.kappa. B by caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) and two analogues of CAPE. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) activation of NF-.kappa.B is completely blocked by CAPE in a dose- and time-dependent manner, as is activation by phorbol ester, ceramide, hydrogen peroxide, and okadaic acid. Additionally, capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) and resiniferatoxin inhibit the activation of NF-.kappa.B induced by differe nt agents. Further, the present invention discloses methods for using these inhibitors in the treatment of pathological conditions caused by the activation of NF-.kappa.B, such as toxic shock, acute inflammatory conditions, acute phase response, atherosclerosis and cancer.

Granted: 2004-03-02
Abstract: A method is provided for sterilizing fluids using bolus dosing of a fluid, stretching of the bolus of fluid into a membrane, such as a thin or ultra-thin film, and subsequent irradiation of the individual fluid membranes which are then recollected after sterilization. A system is provided whereby a fluid moves along a defined pathway in traditional bolus flow where each bolus of fluid is interspersed with a bolus of gas. The bolus of fluid, for example from a patient or other sample, moves along the flow path and the width of the flow path is gradually increased until the fluid bolus is stretched (without breaking) to form a thin fluid membrane which can be completely panned using irradiation (such as ultraviolet irradiation) to sterilize the each bolus which has been stretched into a membrane. After sterilization the width of the flow path is gradually narrowed to a sufficient sized such that the bolus returns to a sufficient size to be collected, typically when it forms a small droplet. The collected portions are recombined thereby rendering the original fluid sample completely sterilized for subsequent reintroduction into a patient or other use.

Granted: 2006-08-08
Abstract: A computer-based method for the identification of binding targets in protein s and other macromolecules. More particularly, the invention includes an algorithm aimed at predicting binding targets in proteins. This algorithm, named Woolford, requires knowledge of the high resolution structure of the protein but no knowledge o f the location or identity of natural binding sites or ligands. Binding targets in the protein are identified and classified according to their expected optimal affinities. Binding targe ts can be located at the protein surface or at internal surfaces that become exposed a s a result of partial unfolding, conformational changes, subunit dissociation, or other events. The entire protein is mapped according to the binding potential of its constitue nt atoms. Once binding targets are identified, optimal ligands are designed and progressive ly built by the addition of individual atoms that complement structurally and energetically the selected target. This algorithm is expected to have significant applications in structure-based drug design since it allows: 1) identification of binding targets in proteins; 2) identification of additional targets if the primary target is known; 3) design of ligand molecules with optimal binding affinities for the selected target; and 4) refinement oflead compounds by defining the location and nature of chemical groups for optimal binding affinity.
