Use Of Xylitol To Reduce Ionic Strength And Activate Endogenous Antimicrobials For Prevention And Treatment Of Infections

US Patent:
2002002, Feb 21, 2002
Filed:
May 21, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/861841
Inventors:
Michael Welsh - Riverside IA, US
Joseph Zabner - Iowa City IA, US
International Classification:
A61K031/045
US Classification:
514/738000
Abstract:
A method for killing infectious microbial cells by exposing the microbial cells to endogenous antimicrobial compounds. Activation of the antimicrobials is achieved by addition of low permeability, non-ionic osmolytes to lower ionic strength in body fluids where the antimicrobials have been previously suppressed by alteration of ionic transport (increase in salt concentration). The method can be used to treat cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis causes elevated salt concentrations in the airway surface liquid (ASL) occur due to the impaired chloride transport across the epithelia. Xylitol has been found to be an effective low permeability, non-ionic osmolyte for use in the present invention.

Cftr With A Partially Deleted R Domain And Uses Thereof

US Patent:
2009022, Sep 10, 2009
Filed:
Dec 7, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/999797
Inventors:
Michael J. Welsh - Riverside IA, US
Lynda S. Ostedgaard - Iowa City IA, US
Joseph Zabner - Iowa City IA, US
Assignee:
UNIVERSITY OF IOWA RESEARCH FOUNDATION - IOWA CITY IA
International Classification:
C07K 14/705
US Classification:
530350
Abstract:
The present invention offers new therapies for treating Cystic Fibrosis (CF), that are based on novel DNA molecules and proteins encoded by the DNA molecules. The present invention features DNA molecules encoding CFTR having a partially deleted R domain. The partial deletions in the R domain are between residues 708 and 835 of the wild-type CFTR.

Halides In The Treatment Of Pathogenic Infection

US Patent:
2009024, Oct 1, 2009
Filed:
Jan 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/351487
Inventors:
BOTOND BANFI - North Liberty IA, US
Anthony Fischer - Iowa City IA, US
Joseph Zabner - Iowa City IA, US
Lakshmi Durairaj - Iowa City IA, US
Daniel Lorentzen - North Liberty IA, US
International Classification:
A61K 9/12, A61K 33/16, A61K 33/18, A61K 33/00, A61P 11/00
US Classification:
424 43, 424667, 424673, 424600
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of halides and halide salts for the treatment of microbial infections, including those caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses. The present invention takes advantage of endogenous immune function and augments this system using a non-toxic and inexpensive reagent that can be delivered to mucosal surfaces, for example, orally, topically, opthalmically and via inhalation.
