  • Biomaterials modified with superoxide dismutase mimics
    Patent number: 7445641
    Abstract: The present invention relates to biomaterials modified with non-proteinaceous catalysts for the dismutation of superoxide, and processes for making such materials. This modification may be by covalent conjugation, copolymerization, or admixture of the non-proteinaceous catalysts with the biomaterial. The resulting modified biomaterials exhibit a marked decrease in inflammatory response and subsequent degradation when placed in contact with vertebrate biological systems.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 26, 2000
    Date of Patent: November 4, 2008
    Assignee: Pharmacia Corporation
    Inventors: Richard Ornberg, Kishore Udipi, Denis Forster, Dennis Riley, Bruce Thurmond, Susan Henke, Kerry Brethauer
  • Biopolymers modified with superoxide dismutase mimics
    Publication number: 20060089710
    Abstract: This invention provides modified biopolymers comprising biopolymers attached to at least one non-proteinaceous catalyst capable of dismutating superoxide in the biological system or precursor ligand thereof. The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the modified biopolymer and therapeutic methods comprising administering the modified biopolymer to a subject in need thereof.
