DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is the follow-on Phase II SBIR proposal to continue the project Novel Neurotensin Analogs as Antischizophrenics (MH-65099) under PA-06-079 (Pharmacological Agents and Drugs for Mental Disorders). There exists a critical clinical need for the identification and development of novel therapies for psychosis, a major unmet medical need. Low levels of the bra ...

Project Summary/Abstract According to the ADA, 25.8 million children and adults have diabetes. Diabetics have an increased risk of complications such as heart disease and are prone to impaired wound healing. A major cause of morbidity and hospitalizationis diabetic foot ulceration (DFUs) that may result in infection, gangrene, amputations requiring prolonged hospitalization, costly treatments, an ...

ABSTRACTWhile acute stroke is a leading cause of human death and disability in the United Statesunfortunatelyclinical therapies for stroke are limited and unsatisfactoryThe overwhelming failures of stroke treatments in clinical trials strongly indicate thatto battle this multifaceted brain disordernovel strategies that target multiple cell types and afford different mechanisms of protection are ne ...

An HXYZ g HR Fast MAS probe for Dramatically Improved Biomolecular Structure Determinations AbstractLiquid state NMR spectroscopy is arguably one of the best tools for structure determination for soluble proteinsThe method provides atomic resolution for modest molecular weight proteins and or their complexesThe method begins to have difficulty when the molecular weight of the system causes slow mo ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant NMR is arguably the most powerful analytical technique for structure determination and function elucidation in molecules of all types but there are complex challenges for biological macromolecules Dynamic Nuclear Polarization DNP with Magic Angle Spinning MAS has recently demonstrated S N gains of up to two orders of magnitude at K the lower tempera ...

Project Summary Abstract Multiple MyelomaMMis the second most common form of blood cancer and remains an incurable and deadly diseaseProteasome inhibitorPItherapy is a cornerstone in the treatment of MMbut resistance to this class of agent is an emerging challenge in the clinicNew therapeutic approaches that specifically target resistance are needed to maximize responses and ultimately produce cur ...

Project Summary No woman should die from cervical cancer. We have the technical, medical and policy tools and approaches to eliminate it. Yet, one woman dies of cervical cancer every two minutes. Cervical cancer is the third leading malignancy among women in the world, after breast and colorectal cancer. Cervical cancer is also one of the tumors in which the most glaring disparities exist worldwid ...

PROJECT SUMMARYAminoglycosides are one of the cheapest and well-known antibiotics in clinical use for over 70 years, but one of the major limitations in their use is their ototoxicity. We are developing fast and low-cost methods to develop aminoglycosides with anti-ribosomal activities and reduced toxicity. In this project, we will identify novel aminoglycoside antibacterials, that show reduced ot ...
