Oligonucleotide Delivery Systems For Camptothecins, Thomas Burke, Ayhan S. Demir, Ashok J. Chavan, Danzhou Yang May 2005

Oligonucleotide Delivery Systems For Camptothecins, Thomas Burke, Ayhan S. Demir, Ashok J. Chavan, Danzhou Yang

Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Patents

Camptothecin drugs are stabilized in their antitumor active lactone form by complexation with an oligonucleotide including RNA or catalytic RNA. The oligonucleotide-camptothecin drug complex may be incorporated within a macromolecular assembly including both viral and non-viral oligonucleotide vectors. The invention allows combination gene and camptothecin drug therapy.

Synthases, Joseph Chappell, Kathleen R. Manna, Joseph P. Noel, Courtney M. Starks

Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Patents

Novel synthases and the corresponding nucleic acids encoding such synthases are disclosed herein. Such synthases possess an active site pocket that includes key amino acid residues that are modified to generate desired terpenoid reaction intermediates and products. Synthase modifications are designed based on, e.g., the three-dimensional coordinates of tobacco 5-epi-aristolochene synthase. with or without a substrate bound in the active site.


Nanoscintillation Systems For Aqueous-Based Liquid Scintillation Counting, Russell J. Mumper, Michael Jay Feb 2005

Nanoscintillation Systems For Aqueous-Based Liquid Scintillation Counting, Russell J. Mumper, Michael Jay

Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Patents

The present invention relates to the use of nanoscintillation systems, or nanoparticles containing fluor molecules, that can be used to detect an electron-emitting or alpha-particle-emitting radioisotope in the absence of organic-solvents commonly used in organic-based liquid scintillation cocktails. The invention also relates to compositions and use of three oil-in-water microemulsion precursors that can be engineered rapidly, reproducibly, and cost-effectively to produce useful nanoparticles less than 100 nanometers.
