| 20080293639 | PEPTIDES AND PEPTIDE MIMETICS TO TREAT PATHOLOGIES CHARACTERIZED BY AN INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE - This invention provides novel active agents (e.g. peptides, small organic molecules, amino acid pairs, etc.) peptides that ameliorate one or more symptoms of atherosclerosis and/or other pathologies characterized by an inflammatory response. In certain embodiment, the peptides resemble a G* amphipathic helix of apolipoprotein J. The agents are highly stable and readily administered via an oral route. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090163408 | SALICYLANILIDES ENHANCE ORAL DELIVERY OF THERAPEUTIC PEPTIDES - This invention pertains to the surprising discovery that salicylanilides, e.g., niclosamide and/or niclosamide analogues when orally administered in conjunction with a peptide pharmaceutical (e.g., a class A amphipathic helical peptide as described herein) significantly increases the bioavailability of that peptide. Methods of peptide delivery using such “delivery agents” and pharmaceutical formulations are provided. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090286741 | METHODS FOR IMPROVING THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF ARTERIOLES - The present invention relates to the unexpected finding that vessels smaller than even the smallest arteries (i.e. arterioles) thicken, become dysfunctional and cause end organ damage to tissues as diverse as the brain and the kidney. This invention provides a method to improve the structure and function of arterioles and preserve the function of end organs such as the brain and kidney. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100143444 | PEPTIDES AND PEPTIDE MIMETICS TO TREAT PATHOLOGIES ASSOCIATED WITH EYE DISEASE - This invention provides novel active agents (e.g. peptides, small organic molecules, amino acid pairs, etc.) peptides that ameliorate one or more symptoms of eye disease and/or other pathologies characterized by an inflammatory response. In certain embodiment, the peptides resemble a G* amphipathic helix of apolipoprotein J. The agents are highly stable and readily administered via an oral route or via intraocular injection. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100227825 | PEPTIDES AND PEPTIDE MIMETICS TO TREAT CANCER - This invention provides novel active agents (e.g. peptides, small organic molecules, amino acid pairs, etc.) peptides that ameliorate one or more symptoms of atherosclerosis and/or other pathologies characterized by an inflammatory response. In certain embodiment, the peptides resemble a G* amphipathic helix of apolipoprotein J. The agents are highly stable and readily administered via an oral route. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100240598 | PEPTIDES AND PEPTIDE MIMETICS TO INHIBIT THE ONSET AND/OR PROGRESSION OF FIBROTIC AND/OR PRE-FIBROTIC PATHOLOGIES - This invention provides methods of inhibiting the onset or progression of a fibrotic disease (or pre-fibrotic pathology) in a mammal. The method involves administering oen or more peptides (e.g., class A amphipathic helical peptides, G* peptides, etc.) as described herein to a mammal in need thereof, in an amount effective to inhibit the onset and/or progression of the fibrotic disease (or pre-fibrotic condition) in the mammal. In certain embodiments the fibrotic disease is selected from the group consisting of retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF), hepatic fibrosis and/or chirrhosis, renal fibrosis, and pancreatic fibrosis | 09-23-2010 |
| 20110183889 | SALICYLANILIDE MODIFIED PEPTIDES FOR USE AS ORAL THERAPEUTICS - This invention pertains to the surprising discovery that salicylanilides, e.g., niclosamide and/or niclosamide analogues can be reacted with a therapeutically active peptide to produce a modified peptide complex that shows increased resistance to proteolysis and that shows higher bioactivity when orally administered than the unmodified peptide. | 07-28-2011 |

| 20090050568 | Time delay for sample collection in chromatography systems - A system and process for chromatography that uses a chromatography column to separate components from a sample received into the column in a mobile phase flowstream and places a second chromatography column between a detector and a collection system that compensates the timing of fraction collection for a delay caused by processing the collection signals generated by the detector. The device and process of the preferred and alternative embodiments add a delay into the flowstream of a chromatographic system, such as LC, HPLC, and SFC. Sample fractions are collected from sample component concentration peaks based upon the chromatographic elution of the sample components. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090165873 | Variable ratio flow splitter for a flowstream - A splitter for a pressurized primary flowstream of a mobile phase is provided. The splitter comprises a first splitting stage that divides the primary flowstream between a major split flowstream and a minor split flowstream by means of a first and a second restrictive flow element; a first dilution stage that combines a dilution flow source with the minor split flowstream to create a diluted minor flowstream;a second splitting stage that divides the diluted minor flowstream between a secondary major diluted flowstream and a secondary minor diluted flowstream by means of a third restrictive element in the secondary minor diluted flow stream; and a second dilution stage wherein a conditioning flow source conditions the secondary minor diluted flow stream after the third restrictive element prior to outlet of the secondary minor diluted flowstream from the splitter. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20100040483 | Compressible fluid pumping system - An invention is claimed that enables the pumping of compressible fluids at high pressures when an accurate flow is desired. Two pressure sources, for example pumps plumbed in series, separate thermodynamic work, such as pressurization, at the first pressure source from a volumetric or matter metering function in the second pressure source. One example is a flowstream delivery for a chemical instrumentation system that is manufactured from relatively unsophisticated pumps yet delivers precise flows with low pulsation (<1 %) over pressures greater than 100 bar. An advantage of one embodiment allows the economical conversion of typical HPLC systems to state of-the-art supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) systems with minimal modification to system components. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20110113962 | Process Flowstream Collection System - A device and process for separating liquid and gas phases in a flowstream containing a liquefied gas or supercritical fluid under pressure mixed with a liquid. A splitter vessel separates the liquid from gas phases and transfers liquid to a collection container while conducting the gas phase out of the splitter. Separation of liquid phase out of the flowstream is provided without additional pressure schemes or solvent extractions imposed on the stream. | 05-19-2011 |
