专利号:US-11746364-B2 优先权日:2018-01-17 标题 :Enzymatic synthesis of kavalactones and flavokavains 发明人:PLUSKAL TOMÃ?S; Weng jing-ke 权利人:WHITEHEAD INST BIOMEDICAL RES 摘要:Disclosed are methods, compositions, proteins, nucleic acids, cells, vectors, compounds, reagents, and systems for the preparation of kavalactones, flavokavains, and kavalactone and flavokavain biosynthetic intermediates using enzymes expressed in heterologous host cells, such as microorganisms or plants, or using in vitro enzymatic reactions. This invention also provides for the expression of the enzymes by recombinant cell lines and vectors. Furthermore, the enzymes can be components of constructs such as fusion proteins. The kavalactones produced can be utilized to treat anxiety disorder, insomnia, and other psychological and neurological disorders. The flavokavains produced can be utilized to treat various cancers including colon, bladder, and breast cancers.

专利号:US-10765748-B2 优先权日:2014-07-11 标题 :Composition and methods for tethering bioactive peptides to metal oxide surfaces 发明人:BECKER MATTHEW; TANG WEN 权利人:BECKER MATTHEW; TANG WEN; UNIV AKRON 摘要:In various aspects, embodiments of the present invention are directed to a series of multivalent dendrons containing a bioactive peptide domain and surface-binding catechol domains. In some embodiments, these multivalent dendrons were obtained through solid phase synthesis and have a strong binding affinity to metal oxide surfaces such as, TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , CeO 2 , and Fe 3 O 4 , SiO2, as well as other inorganic surfaces such as hydroxyapatite, silver, fluorapatite, calcium carbonate and gold. These catechol-bearing dendrons provide a fast and efficient method to functionalize a wide range of inorganic materials with bioactive peptides and have the potential to be used in coating orthopaedic implants and fixation devices.
