MUMBAI, India, Aug. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631066232 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Science Education And Research-Kolkata Iiser Kolkata on May 25, 2026, for Guanidinium-Derived Compound (gua-Cu-3) For Modulating Copper-Induced Toxicity.
Inventors include Gupta, Prof. Arnab; Das, Prof. Amitava; Pandey, Mr. Raviranjan; Sarkar, Mr. Sandip; and Roy, Mr. Arpan N.
The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.
Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose a synthetic guanidinium-derived compound (Gua-Cu-3) for modulating copper-induced toxicity comprising a guanidinium-based scaffold functionalized with at least one guanidinium functional group capable of electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding, at least one copper-binding moiety configured to chelate and coordinate Cu(I) and/or Cu(II) ions and a phenolic moiety enabling controlled redox modulation of copper. In particular, the guanidinium-derived compound (Gua-Cu-3) is configured to selectively coordinate copper ions with a moderate binding affinity and modulate copper-induced redox activity. Further, the compound forms supramolecular nanosheet assemblies exhibiting a positively charged surface potential.
