A hybrid nanomaterial consisting of graphene oxide (GO) nanomaterial covalently conjugated to cationic quaternized chitosan is provided. Method of preparing the hybrid nanomaterial, an antimicrobial composition containing the hybrid nanomaterial, and use of the antimicrobial composition in inhibiting growth of microorganisms in an environment are also provided.

This disclosure relates to intranasal administration of conjugates comprising guanidinylated aminoglycosides (guanidinoglycosides) and a polypeptide (e.g., an enzyme, antibody, or polypeptide growth factor). For example, such administration methods are useful for delivering a polypeptide to the brain and/or cerebrospinal fluid. Such methods are useful for treating a lysosomal storage disease through intranasal administration of a conjugate comprising one or more guanidinoglycosides and an enzyme useful for treating a lysosomal storage disease.

This disclosure provides multifunctional conjugate molecules comprising a target binding component covalently linked to one or more cannabinoids and/or one or more cannabinoid conjugate components. In some embodiments, the target binding component also is covalently linked to one or more active agent components. The disclosed conjugate molecules are designed to deliver therapeutic benefits of each component of the conjugate molecules and can be used to treat cancer and other disorders.

The disclosure relates to nanoparticle drug conjugates (NDC) that comprise ultrasmall nanoparticles, folate receptor (FR) targeting ligands, and linker-drug conjugates, and methods of making and using them to treat cancer.

The present disclosure provides a compound comprising a modified tetracycline derivative, covalently coupled through a linker to a low-hydrophobicity bioactive molecule useful for treating neurodegenerative diseases, wherein the modified tetracycline derivative is optionally defined by the following formula: ##STR00001##

The present invention relates to complexes of transcription factor decoys, their delivery to bacteria and their formulation. In particular, the present invention resides in an antibacterial complex comprising a nucleic acid sequence and one or more delivery moieties selected from quaternary amine compounds; bis-aminoalkanes and unsaturated derivatives thereof, wherein the amino component of the aminoalkane is an amino group forming part of a heterocyclic ring; and an antibacterial peptide.

Oxysterol-therapeutic agent derivatives or OXY133-therapeutic agent derivative compounds and methods of synthesizing the same are provided for use in promoting osteogenesis, osteoinduction and/or osteoconduction. Methods of synthesizing in a single container OXY133-therapeutic agent derivatives having high yields and improved process safety are also provided. Methods for synthesizing OXY133-therapeutic agent derivatives that are stereoselective are also provided.

The present disclosure relates to texaphyrin compounds linked with an antitumor antibiotic such as an anthcyanine antitumor antibiotic such as doxorubicin and danurubicin. The texaphyrin and the antitumor antibiotic are joined together by a group which is cleavable in vivo and results in increased activity and deliverance of the cytotoxic compound to target cells. Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use thereof.

The present invention relates to complexes of transcription factor decoys, their delivery to bacteria and their formulation. In particular, the present invention resides in an antibacterial complex comprising a nucleic acid sequence and one or more delivery moieties selected from quaternary amine compounds; bis-aminoalkanes and unsaturated derivatives thereof, wherein the amino component of the aminoalkane is an amino group forming part of a heterocyclic ring; and an antibacterial peptide.

The present disclosure relates to novel cleavable conjugates of antibiotics and an antibacterial cell-penetrating peptide, and methods to make and use the novel cleavable conjugates of antibiotics and an antibacterial cell-penetrating peptide.
