20100267621 | Antimicrobial Compounds and Formulations - The invention relates to the use of a molecule comprising a backbone of 2 to 35 non-hydrogen atoms in length, having covalently attached thereto at least two bulky and lipophilic groups and having at least one more cationic than anionic moiety, in the manufacture of a medicament for destabilising microbial cell membranes and the use as a membrane acting antimicrobial agent of a molecule comprising a backbone of 2 to 35 non-hydrogen atoms in length, having covalently attached thereto a super bulky and lipophilic group comprising at least 9 non-hydrogen atoms and having at least two more cationic than anionic moieties and to methods of treatment involving such molecules, in particular peptides including peptide derivatives, and peptidomimetics. | 10-21-2010 |
20110143384 | METHODS OF PEPTIDE MODIFICATION - The present invention relates to a method of improving the resistance of a peptide or peptidomimetic to degradation by trypsin which comprises incorporating into said peptide or peptidomimetic a C-terminal capping group of formula (I): X—Y—Z (I) wherein X is a N atom, which may be substituted by a branched or unbranched C | 06-16-2011 |
20110172145 | ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOUNDS - The present invention relates to a compound of formula (I) AA-AA-AA-X—Y—Z wherein, in any order, 2 of said AA (amino acid) moieties are cationic amino acids and 1 of said AA is an amino acid with a lipophilic R group, the R group having 14-27 non-hydrogen atoms; X is a N atom, which may be substituted by a branched or unbranched C | 07-14-2011 |
20110236453 | TREATMENT OF BIOFILMS - The present invention relates to a peptide or peptidomimetic for use in the treatment of a biofilm-associated infection in a subject, wherein said peptide or peptidomimetic a) carries a net positive charge, b) is 1 to 6 amino acids in length or is an equivalently sized peptidomimetic; and c) is amphipathic in nature, having one or more lipophilic groups, one of said lipophilic groups comprising at least 7 non-hydrogen atoms. | 09-29-2011 |
20110301076 | ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOUNDS - The present invention relates to a compound of formula (I) AA-AA-AA-R | 12-08-2011 |
20120108520 | Antimicrobial Compounds and Formulations - The invention relates to the use of a molecule comprising a backbone of 2 to 35 non-hydrogen atoms in length, having covalently attached thereto at least two bulky and lipophilic groups and having at least one more cationic than anionic moiety, in the manufacture of a medicament for destabilising microbial cell membranes and the use as a membrane acting antimicrobial agent of a molecule comprising a backbone of 2 to 35 non-hydrogen atoms in length, having covalently attached thereto a super bulky and lipophilic group comprising at least 9 non-hydrogen atoms and having at least two more cationic than anionic moieties and to methods of treatment involving such molecules, in particular peptides including peptide derivatives, and peptidomimetics. | 05-03-2012 |
