Patent number: 9353133Abstract: This invention relates to compounds useful for treating fungal infections, more specifically topical treatment of onychomycosis and/or cutaneous fungal infections. This invention is directed to compounds that are active against fungi and have properties that allow the compound, when placed in contact with a patient, to reach the particular part of the skin, nail, hair, claw or hoof infected by the fungus. In particular the present compounds have physiochemical properties that facilitate penetration of the nail plate.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2014Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Stephen J. Baker, Tsutomu Akama, Michael Richard Kevin Alley, Stephen J. Benkovic, Michael DiPierro, Vincent S. Hernandez, Karin M. Hold, Isaac Kennedy, Igor Likhotvorik, Weimin Mao, Kirk Maples, Jacob J.

Patent number: 6942829Abstract: The present invention provides a method of forming a polymer-wood composite structure and additive systems for use therein. The method of the invention includes extruding a heated mixture that includes from about 20% to about 80% by weight of a thermoplastic polymer, from about 20% to about 80% by weight of a cellulosic filler material, and from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of an additive system. The additive system according the invention includes a blend of from about 10% to about 90% by weight of a nonionic compatibilizer having an HLB value of from about 9 to about 19 and from about 10% to about 90% by weight of a lubricant. Use of the method and additive system according to the invention facilitates the production of highly filled polymer-wood composite structures at a very high output rate while maintaining commercially acceptable surface appearance.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2003Date of Patent: September 13, 2005Assignee: Ferro CorporationInventors: Gerald W.
