20080306053MODULATION OF CHEMOSENSORY RECEPTORS AND LIGANDS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH - The present invention provides screening methods for identifying modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands, e.g., by determining whether a test entity is suitable to interact with one or more interacting sites within the Venus flytrap domains of the chemosensory receptors as well as modifiers capable of modulating chemosensory receptors and their ligands.12-11-2008
20080306076MODULATION OF CHEMOSENSORY RECEPTORS AND LIGANDS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH - The present invention provides screening methods for identifying modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands, e.g., by determining whether a test entity is suitable to interact with one or more interacting sites within the Venus flytrap domains of the chemosensory receptors as well as modifiers capable of modulating chemosensory receptors and their ligands.12-11-2008
20080306093MODULATION OF CHEMOSENSORY RECEPTORS AND LIGANDS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH - The present invention provides screening methods for identifying modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands, e.g., by determining whether a test entity is suitable to interact with one or more interacting sites within the Venus flytrap domains of the chemosensory receptors as well as modifiers capable of modulating chemosensory receptors and their ligands.12-11-2008
20100304402CHIMERIC HUMAN SWEET-UMAMI AND UMAMI-SWEET TASTE RECEPTORS - This invention relates to chimeric taste receptors comprising the extracellular portion of one T12-02-2010
20110223618ASSAYS USING CHIMERIC T1R POLYPEPTIDE - This invention relates to chimeric taste receptors comprising the extracellular portion of one T1R or a variant or fragment thereof, either T1R1 or T1R2, and the transmembrane portion of another T1R or a variant or fragment thereof, either T1R1 or T1R2, preferably associated with a T1R3 polypeptide and a suitable G protein. These chimeric taste receptors and cells which express such chimeric taste receptors are useful in assays for identifying sweet and umami ligands as well in assays for identifying sweet and umami enhancers. Additionally, these chimeric taste receptors and cells which express same can be used to map and determine where specific sweet and umami ligands interact with their respective receptors and to elucidate the mechanism of receptor activation.09-15-2011
20110224155MODULATION OF CHEMOSENSORY RECEPTORS AND LIGANDS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH - The present invention includes methods for identifying modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands, e.g., by determining whether a test entity is suitable to interact with one or more interacting sites within the Venus flytrap domains of the chemosensory receptors, and modifiers capable of modulating chemosensory receptors and their ligands. The present invention also includes modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands having Formula (I), its subgenus, and specific compounds. Furthermore, the present invention includes ingestible compositions comprising the modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands and methods of using the modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands to enhance the sweet taste of an ingestible composition or treat a condition associated with a chemosensory receptor. In addition, the present invention include processes for preparing the modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands.09-15-2011
20110230502MODULATION OF CHEMOSENSORY RECEPTORS AND LIGANDS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH - The present invention provides screening methods for identifying modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands, e.g., by determining whether a test entity is suitable to interact with one or more interacting sites within the Venus flytrap domains of the chemosensory receptors as well as modifiers capable of modulating chemosensory receptors and their ligands.09-22-2011
20110245353SWEET FLAVOR MODIFIER - The present invention includes compounds having structural formula (I), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvate, and/or ester thereof. These compounds are useful as sweet flavor modifiers. The present invention also includes compositions comprising the present compounds and methods of enhancing the sweet taste of ingestible compositions. Furthermore, the present invention provides methods for preparing the compounds.10-06-2011
