PHOSPHATE-CONTAINING COPOLYMERS FOR VIRULENCE SUPPRESSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18004910 titled 'PHOSPHATE-CONTAINING COPOLYMERS FOR VIRULENCE SUPPRESSION
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application is about phosphate-containing copolymers and their use in medical compositions to suppress microbial virulence. - The purpose of using these copolymers is to prevent, mitigate, or treat microbial infections. - The copolymers are prepared by phosphorylating a random copolymer or a random copolymeric block that contains monomeric units of propylene oxide and glycidol. - The innovation lies in the use of these copolymers to suppress virulence and their potential application in medical treatments.
Original Abstract Submitted
Phosphate-containing copolymers, medical compositions containing the phosphate-containing copolymers, and methods of suppressing microbial virulence are provided. By suppressing virulence, administration and/or application of the medical compositions can be used to prevent, mitigate, or treat a microbial infection. The phosphate-containing copolymers are prepared by phosphorylating either a random copolymer or a random copolymeric block that contains monomeric units of propylene oxide and glycidol.
