Abstract: A process, and a suitable apparatus, for production of particles of a material in which stream of a dispersion of the material in a solvent and a stream of a compressible fluid antisolvent substance are mixed under conditions such that the substance is in compressible fluid antisolvent state. The mixture then flows along a conduit (17) toward an orifice (18), from which it flows into a downstream region in which the compressible fluid antisolvent substance decompresses and the material is isolated in a particulate state. Preferably the antisolvent substance is a supercritical fluid. The process and apparatus can generate a co-formulation of the material with additives which can be introduced in a suitable aqueous or solvent based carrier vehicle.

Abstract: A method of modulating the activity of a aberrant cell topoisomerase enzyme involving contacting the enzyme with a compound that inhibits enzyme-mediated cleavage of a polynucleotide substrate with which the enzyme is in complex. Pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds may be used to treat neoplasias or to inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells. Screening methods can be employed to identify other compounds for these uses.

Abstract: This invention relates, in part, to newly identified methods of using quinolone antibiotics, particularly a gemifloxacin compound against certain pathogenic bacteria, particularly quinolone resistant S. pnemoniae and rare H. influenzae strains.

Abstract: A novel method for the determination of amino acids by HPLC using pre-column derivatization is described. In this procedure, the aminno acids are derivatized with 2-chlorobenzoxazole to yield highly fluroresent N-(2-benzoxazolyl)-amino acids (BOX-AAs) for detection at very high sensitivity. Derivatives can also be detected using conventional UV detection methods. The BOX-AAs can be separated on a C18 reversed phase column for quantitative estimation. This method can be used for the preparation of N-(2-benzoxazolyl)-amino acids in large amounts.

Abstract: Novel PDF inhibitors and novel methods for their use are provided.

Abstract: Bacterial infections may be treated using a high dosage regimen of amoxicillin and potassium clavulanate. Preferably, the dosage is provided by a bilayer tablet.

Abstract: A method for inserting a cassette into a nucleic acid molecule to produce a modified nucleic acid molecule, e.g., a nucleic acid-cassette fusion, is described. The method involves the use of polymerase chain reaction, thereby permitting precise targeting of the desired site in the molecule, but does not require ligation. Also described is the use of this method for high throughput screening the resulting modified nucleic acid molecules.
