SARS-COV-2 papain-like protease inhibitors as antivirals
Novel compounds and their use as an inhibitor for SARS-CoV-2.
Invention Summary:
Two oral SARS-CoV-2 antivirals are available, molnupiravir and Paxlovid. However, the limited efficacy, drug-drug interaction, and drug resistance are main challenges facing these two drugs. Additional oral antivirals with novel mechanisms of actions are clearly needed....

New Antimalarials Based on the TBN Scaffold
Invention Summary:
Malaria infects over 200 million people and results in nearly half a million deaths as well as up to $12 billion USD in lost economic activity. Although the prevalence of malaria has decreased steadily over the last two decades, progress has stagnated in recent years due to the emergence of drug-resistant malarial strains. These...

Fluorescent Probe for Bacterial Cell Imaging and Screening of New Antibacterial Drugs
Visualization of the impact of FtsZ-targeting drug treatment in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains using BOFP. Bacteria were labeled with BOFP for 5 minutes just prior to visualization. Differential interference contrast (DIC) shows unstained bacteria and fluorescence shows BOFP-labeled bacteria.
Invention Summary:
At least 2.8...
