Title: Qing Zhou: Innovator in Cancer Treatment
Introduction
Qing Zhou is a prominent inventor based in Alhambra, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of cancer treatment through his innovative research and patented inventions. With a total of 2 patents, his work focuses on methods to prevent metastasis in cancer patients.
Latest Patents
Qing Zhou's latest patents include "Contortrostain (CN) and methods for its use in preventing metastasis and other conditions." This invention utilizes the amino acid sequence of native contortrostatin to develop a cloning strategy that produces full-length cDNA and deduced amino acid sequences for a contortrostatin precursor. The precursor consists of pro-protein, metalloproteinase, and disintegrin regions of the multidomain protein. These sequences can be used to create recombinant DNA molecules that express contortrostatin proteins, including biologically active variants and fragments. When formulated as a pharmaceutically acceptable composition, these proteins can treat patients by inhibiting disease processes associated with integrin binding to an integrin receptor. Additionally, compositions containing a disintegrin are employed as active agents for treating various conditions, particularly cancer, to prevent metastasis. In a specific embodiment, contortrostatin is used to prevent metastasis in breast cancer patients.
