    摘要: A diagnostic test kit for detecting the presence or quantity of an enzyme or enzyme inhibitor is provided. The diagnostic kit utilizes reactive complexes to facilitate the detection of the enzyme or enzyme inhibitor. The reactive complexes include a substrate joined (e.g., covalently bonded, physically adsorbed, etc.) to a reporter and magnetic substance. In one embodiment, for example, a peptide, protein, or glycoprotein substrate is joined to a reporter (e.g., dyed latex particle) and magnetic particle. In this embodiment, the substrate provides a cleavage target for a proteolytic enzyme. Specifically, upon contacting the reactive complexes, the proteolytic enzyme cleaves the substrate and releases the reporter and/or magnetic particle. The signal exhibited by the released reporters may then be used to indicate the presence or quantity of an enzyme or enzyme inhibitor within the test sample.

    摘要: The invention provides inhibitors of chondrosarcoma cell growth that are useful as anti-cancer and anti-tumor agents. The inhibitors are peptides having sequences related to cleavage regions of the proenzyme forms of matrix metalloproteinases and that can inhibit the activity of matrix metalloproteinases. The peptide inhibitors of the invention can be formulated into therapeutic compositions, lotions, creams and wound dressings.

    摘要: An antimicrobial composition that contains an antimicrobial agent and a sugar alcohol is provided. The sugar alcohol is more generally more biocompatible and biodegradable than the antimicrobial agent. In addition, without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that sugar alcohols increase the attraction of the antimicrobial agent to microorganisms (e.g., the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria). Because a greater percentage of the antimicrobial agent molecules are brought into contact with the microorganisms, the efficiency of growth inhibition is increased. Thus, the antimicrobial composition provides good efficacy without the need for high levels of an antimicrobial agent.

    摘要: A method for inhibiting and/or treating infection in a vagina is provided. The method comprises exposing one or more microbes to a treatment composition. The microbes are selected from the group consisting of Gardnerella, Candida, and Trichomonas, and the treatment composition comprises an effective amount of a saccharide-based nonionic surfactant. For example, in one embodiment, the saccharide-based nonionic surfactant is an alkyl glycoside.

    摘要: The invention provides a method for treating and/or preventing a wide scope of vaginal and vulval infections, such as those caused by bacteria, parasites or yeasts, by administering gallic acid to a subject in need of treatment. A composition containing gallic acid for treating vaginal infections is also disclosed. It has been found that gallic acid is capable of selectively inhibiting the growth of Trichomonas vaginalis, a parasite that causes trichomonas vaginitis; Gardnerella vaginalis, a bacterium that causes bacterial vaginosis; and Candida albicans, a yeast that causes candidiasis and vulvitis; while not inhibiting the growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus, the dominant bacteria in a healthy vaginal ecosystem. Gallic acid is safe and cost-effective, and can be used alone or incorporated into different vaginal health products to treat and/or prevent vaginal infections.

    摘要: There is provided compositions and methods to inhibit the adherence of pathogenic microorganisms to cells. The composition includes water soluble PEO/PEG polymers which may be hydrophilic or amphiphilic block copolymers. One example of a suitable composition is polyethylene glycol or polyethylene oxide with a chemical formula of H—(OCH2CH2)n-OH. Another example of a suitable composition is amphiphilic block copolymer with a chemical formula PEOm-Xp-PEOn, where PEO is —(OCH2CH2)n-O and X is PPO(—(OCH2CH2CH2)m-), or PLGA (poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), or PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), or PBO (polybutylene oxide). The pathogenic microorganism may be a bacterial, fungal, viral or trichomonial pathogen and the composition prevents adherence of the pathogenic microorganism in, for example, a urogenital tract of a mammal and aids in reducing malodor generation. The composition may be applied to vaginal health products like, for example, moisturizer, gel, jelly, cream, insert (tablet), ointment, foam. The composition may also be applied to a feminine hygiene product, like, for example, a tampon, feminine pad, feminine wipe or panty liners.
