Abstract:
Oligopeptide compounds or oligopeptide analogue compounds of the formula A-B-D-E-G-J-L-M-Arg-OH are ligands for the anaphylatoxin receptor and are useful in the treatment of inflammatory disease states; also disclosed are anaphylatoxin receptor ligand compositions and a method for modulating anaphylatoxin activity.
Abstract:
A means for determining the effectiveness of interferon therapy in individuals who are infected with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and are receiving such therapy. Monitoring the level of anti-HCV IgM and/or anti-GOR IgG provide means for establishing whether or not the infected patient is responding to interferon therapy; such monitoring is especially useful for patients diagnosed with chronic acute HCV infections.
Abstract:
Compounds of structure (I) where Ar is optionally substituted carboxyclic aryl, 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic aryl, 10-membered bicyclic heterocyclic aryl containing one or two nitrogen atoms, 9- or 10-membered heterocyclic containing one or two nitrogen atoms and optionally containing a further nitrogen or oxygen atom and one oxo or thioxo substituent, benzo(b)furyl, or benzo(b)thienyl, A1 is propynyl, methylene, or a direct link to X, X is oxy, thio, sulfonyl, or NR4, A2 is selected from (II) and (III) where Y is hydrogen, halogen, or nitrile; Z is hydrogen, R1 is alkyl, and R2 is hydrogen or alkyl are potent inhibitors of lipoxygenase enzymes and thus inhibit the biosynthesis of leukotrienes. These compounds are useful in the treatment or amelioration of allergic and inflammatory disease states.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of halobenzoic acids, comprising the step of reacting a halonitrobenzene with a pyridinium salt to form an intermediate of formula (I), wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, -CN, -COOR' and -COR' where R' is alkyl or aryl; X is chloro or fluoro; Y is hydrogen, chloro or fluoro; and Z is chloro, bromo or iodo.
Abstract:
A novel anti-dandruff conditioning shampoo contains at least one suspending agent, and a buffer system, with the shampoo formulation having an active detergent content of at least 18 %. Preferably the buffer system contains sodium citrate and citric acid. Preferably the shampoo contains two detergents with the two detergents being ammonium lauryl ether sulfate and ammonium lauryl sulfate. Preferably the shampoo contains two suspending agents with the two suspending agents being di(hydrogenated) tallow phthalic acid amide and a suspending agent selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and magnesium aluminum silicate.
Abstract:
Novel compounds having structural formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and prodrugs thereof, wherein one of R and R is hydrogen and the other is -CH=CHCOOH, X is >CH-, and Y is -O-; or, alternatively, the bond between X and Y is not present, X is -CH2-, and Y is -OH, as well as methods for their use, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, and a process for their preparation via fermentation.
Abstract:
Compounds having formula (I) wherein -OR comprises the C-13 side-chain of taxol and R comprises hydrogen, as well as a method for the preparation thereof.
Abstract:
Novel haptens and related conjugates based on quinoline, as well as methods for making and using such conjugates. Haptens based on the above core structure may be substituted at positions 5 and 8. Using intermediates with a tether in the 8 position, immunogens, tracers, solid supports and labeled oligonucleotides are all described; as are methods for using the intermediates to prepare the conjugates, methods of using the conjugates to make and purify antibodies, as assay tracers, and in nucleic acid hybridization assays. Kits containing haptenated oligonucleotides and anti-hapten conjugates are also described.
