Entrapping Organic Bioactive Molecules within Metals (Yissum)
- Summary
- Novel metallic composites made of therapeutic agents and metals which are either inert or therapeutically active
Novel composites enable slow release of therapeutic agents entrapped in therapeutic metals
Main result: enhanced synergistic bactericidal effect of doped silver
Specific application for treatment of topical conditions such as skin cancer and psoriasisMethod for entrapment of bioactive molecules within metals and within bioactive metals resulting in activity which either preserves the original action, or displays new, synergetic activity, with or without controlled release from the metalRelease rate of active ingredient can be controlled
Broadens the therapeutic range of the entrapped agent
Reduces the probability of developing resistance to entrapped agent
Minimizes deleterious host side-effects
- Technology Benefits
- pplications in clinical wound management and dressings
Can be used in preparation of medical devices and equipment to provide continuous defence against contamination.
Applications in therapeutic cosmetic treatments to improve appearance of diseased or wounded skin
Applications in air and water purification systems
Application in antibacterial textiles
