Synthetic Peptides That Inhibit Leukocyte Superoxide Anion Production And/Or Attract Leukocytes

US Patent:
6713605, Mar 30, 2004
Filed:
Oct 8, 1997
Appl. No.:
08/930777
Inventors:
Frank Blecha - Manhattan KS
Jishu Shi - Los Angeles CA
Assignee:
Kansas State University Research Foundation - Manhattan KS
International Classification:
C07K 1400
US Classification:
530324, 530300, 514 12
Abstract:
Methods of inhibiting leukocyte O production and attracting luekocytes using specific peptides are disclosed. Theses peptides include the proline-arginine (PR)-rich antimicrobial peptide known as PR-39 and truncated analogs thereof. These peptides can be used as medicaments that fight infection by attracting leukocytes to a wound site, yet restrict tissue damage at the wound site caused by excessive oxygen radicals produced by these leukocytes.

Synthetic Peptides That Inhibit Leukocyte Superoxide Anion Production And/Or Attract Leukocytes

US Patent:
7049396, May 23, 2006
Filed:
Dec 7, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/014147
Inventors:
Frank Blecha - Manhattan KS, US
Jishu Shi - Los Angeles CA, US
Assignee:
Kansas State University Research Foundation - Manhattan KS
International Classification:
C07K 7/08
US Classification:
530326, 530324, 530325, 514 2, 514 12, 514 13
Abstract:
Methods of inhibiting leukocyte O production and attracting leuckocytes using specific peptides are disclosed. These peptides include the proline-arginine (PR)-rich antimicrobial peptide known as PR-39 and truncated analogs thereof. These peptides can be used as medicaments that fight infection by attracting leukocytes to a wound site, yet restrict tissue damage at the wound site caused by excessive oxygen radicals produced by these leukocytes.

US Patent:
7985832, Jul 26, 2011
Filed:
Dec 29, 2006
Appl. No.:
12/087228
Inventors:
Tonatiuh Melgarejo - Manhattan KS, US
Frank Blecha - Manhattan KS, US
Yongming Sang - Manhattan KS, US
Maria Teresa Ortega - Manhattan KS, US
Assignee:
Kansas State University Research Foundation - Manhattan KS
International Classification:
A61K 38/00
A61K 38/17
A61P 31/00
A01N 37/18
C07K 14/00
C07K 16/00
C07K 17/00
C07K 2/00
C07K 4/00
C07K 7/00
C07K 5/00
US Classification:
530300, 530324, 514 22, 514 23
Abstract:
The invention relates to antimicrobial cathelicidin polypeptides related to a 38 amino acid peptide having SEQ ID NO:4. The invention provides for polypeptides having broad spectrum antimicrobial activity, nucleic acids and expression vectors encoding such polypeptides, as well as host cells and methods of reducing survival of a microbe. In addition, the invention also provides compositions, as well as articles of manufacture, that comprise a broad spectrum antimicrobial polypeptide.

Synthetic Peptides That Inhibit Leukocyte Superoxide Anion Production And/Or Attract Leukocytes

US Patent:
2004004, Mar 4, 2004
Filed:
Aug 28, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/651147
Inventors:
Frank Blecha - Manhattan KS, US
Jishu Shi - Los Angeles CA, US
International Classification:
A61K038/17
US Classification:
514/012000
Abstract:
Methods of inhibiting leukocyte O production and attracting leuckocytes using specific peptides are disclosed. These peptides include the proline-arginine (PR)-rich antimicrobial peptide known as PR-39 and truncated analogs thereof. These peptides can be used as medicaments that fight infection by attracting leukocytes to a wound site, yet restrict tissue damage at the wound site caused by excessive oxygen radicals produced by these leukocytes.

Synthetic Antimicrobial Peptide

US Patent:
5830993, Nov 3, 1998
Filed:
Apr 10, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/419066
Inventors:
Frank Blecha - Manhattan KS
Jishu Shi - Manhattan KS
Assignee:
Kansas State University Research Foundation - Manhattan KS
International Classification:
A61K 3800
C07K 1400
US Classification:
530300
Abstract:
New antimicrobial truncated peptides are disclosed which are based upon a known peptide, PR-39 (SEQ ID NO: 1) but which contain a lesser number of amino acid residues yet still retain antimicrobial activity. The most preferred peptide compound is PR-26, SEQ ID NO: 2. The invention also relates to a method of inhibiting microbial growth by administering an effective amount of a peptide in accordance with the invention.

Peptide Modulation Of Reperfusion Injury

US Patent:
6133233, Oct 17, 2000
Filed:
Feb 16, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/024975
Inventors:
Christopher R. Ross - Manhattan KS
Frank Blecha - Manhattan KS
Jishu Shi - Los Angeles CA
Assignee:
Kansas State University Research Foundation - Manhattan KS
International Classification:
A61K 3816
US Classification:
514 12
Abstract:
An in vivo method of reducing reperfusion injury in a mammal resulting from reperfusion of a temporarily occluded blood vessel which comprises the steps of administering into the mammal's bloodstream an effective amount of a proline /arginine rich peptide such as PR-39 (SEQ ID NO: 1). The method has particular application in surgical procedures such as coronary bypass and organ transplantation surgery and where reperfusions occur subsequent to a spontaneous occlusion. Preferred peptides have up to about 50 amino acid residues with a plurality of --PXXP-- sequences.
