20090214618 | Nitric oxide-releasing particles for nitric oxide therapeutics and biomedical applications - The presently disclosed subject matter relates to nitric oxide-releasing particles for delivering nitric oxide, and their use in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. | 08-27-2009 |
20100051480 | NITRIC OXIDE MICROSENSORS VIA FLUOROSILANE-BASED XEROGEL MEMBRANES - The presently disclosed subject matter relates to sensors for measuring an amount of a gaseous species in a sample. The sensors comprise a gas permeable polysiloxane network membrane, comprising both alkyl and fluorinated alkyl groups. In some embodiments, the polysiloxane network can be formed from the co-condensation of a mixture of an alkylalkoxysilane and a fluorosilane. The presently disclosed subject matter also relates to methods of making the sensors, methods of selectively measuring an amount of a gaseous species, such as nitric oxide, in a sample, and to compositions comprising the polysiloxane networks. | 03-04-2010 |
20120021055 | NITRIC OXIDE-RELEASING PARTICLES FOR NITRIC OXIDE THERAPEUTICS AND BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS - The presently disclosed subject matter relates to nitric oxide-releasing particles for delivering nitric oxide, and their use in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. | 01-26-2012 |
20120034169 | NITRIC OXIDE-RELEASING PARTICLES FOR NITRIC OXIDE THERAPEUTICS AND BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS - The presently disclosed subject matter relates to nitric oxide-releasing particles for delivering nitric oxide, and their use in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. | 02-09-2012 |
20130196951 | USE OF NITRIC OXIDE TO ENHANCE THE EFFICACY OF SILVER AND OTHER TOPICAL WOUND CARE AGENTS - The present invention is directed to compositions comprising at least one nitric oxide donor and at least one second therapeutically active agent with antimicrobial or wound healing capability. In one embodiment, the nitric oxide donor is a nanoparticle which is designed to control for the amount and duration of release of nitric oxide. The nanoparticle may further comprise the additional therapeutically active agent. The composition is useful for enhancing wound healing and for treating and preventing microbial infection. In one embodiment, the composition is directed toward reducing oral bacteria or dental plaque. The combination of one or more nitric oxide donors and one or more additional therapeutically active agent results in unexpected synergistic effects, wherein both the antimicrobial efficacy of the nitric oxide and the antimicrobial or wound healing efficacy of the second therapeutically active agent are enhanced. As a result, a patient may benefit from reduced dosage requirements and a reduced likelihood of antimicrobial resistance. The composition may be formulated for local or systemic administration, for topical applications as well as for use in coatings for medical supplies and devices. | 08-01-2013 |
