Abstract:
The present invention features compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same that are useful for modulating p53 activity. The invention further provides methods for inhibiting the biological activity of p53 and for treating diseases such as, for instance, cancer, cell death caused all or in part by cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation thereapy, neuron cell death, stroke, Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease.
Abstract:
Toughened polyamide composition including: (a) at least one polyamide; (b) at least one toughener component; and (c) at least one siloxane-based component having a viscosity of 1 mm 2/s—100,000 mm 2/s providing toughened polyamide composition with good impact strength; process for producing the toughened polyamide composition; and articles made from the toughened polyamide composition.
Abstract:
A thermoplastic polyolefin composition comprises: (A) a polypropylene polymer; (B) an elastomer component; (C) an additive component; and (D) a scavenger component comprising a polyacetoacetate compound having the Formula (I) defined herein and an inorganic porous material. The present disclosure also relates to an article made from the thermoplastic polyolefin composition.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods of suppressing the transcriptional expression of one or more genes by methylating the chromatin histone proteins of the one or more genes. Specifically, a viral SET domain histone lysine mehtyltransferase (vSET or vSET-like protein) methylates lysine 27 of a gene's histone protein 3 (H3- K27) thereby suppressing the transcription of the gene.
Abstract:
A halogen-free flame-retardant compound and method of forming a continuous material therefrom includes compounding poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with fire- retardant ingredients melamine cyanurate (MC) and melamine polyphosphate (MPP). The compound is then formed into pellets and/or extruded as a thin film or sheet, and also as a filament or yarn, including monofilaments and multifilaments.
Abstract:
A fabric sleeve and hybrid yarn filament used in construction of the sleeve for protecting elongate members against at least one of EMI, RFI or ESD, and methods of construction of the sleeve and hybrid yarn filament. The sleeve includes at least one interlaced hybrid yarn filament having a non-conductive filament and at least one conductive wire filament overlying an outer surface of the non-conductive filament. The hybrid yarn filament is arranged in electrical communication with itself or other hybrid yarn filaments to provide uniform shielding against EMI, RFI, and/or ESD.

Abstract:
A toughened polyamide composition including a blend of: (A) at least one polyamide; (B) at least one impact modifier; and (C) at least one organic amine; a process for producing the toughened polyamide composition; and articles made from the toughened polyamide compositions.
Abstract:
A nylon composition comprising a blend, wherein the blend includes: (a) at least one polyamide; and (b) at least one modifier, wherein the modifier includes a substantially linear functionalized ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer having at least one side chain furan moiety crosslinked with at least one maleimide structure; a process for making the composition; and an article made from the composition.
Abstract:
A thermoplastic polyolefin composition comprises: (A) a polypropylene polymer; (B) an elastomer component; (C) an additive component; and (D) a scavenger component comprising a polyacetoacetate compound having the Formula (I) defined herein and calcium carbonate. And an article is made from the thermoplastic polyolefin composition.
