Some of the novel dicationic compounds display good activity in vivo in a murine model of a Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infection.

Abstract: Dicationic compounds that are highly selective for binding G-quadruplex DNA are described. Several compounds exhibit groove binding toward G-quadruplex DNA and in vitro and in vivo activity versus Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. The compounds represent novel drugs for the treatment of cancer, malaria, leishmania, and trypanosomiasis.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to novel 7,9-substituted tetracycline compounds. These tetracycline compounds can be used to treat numerous tetracycline compound-responsive states, such as bacterial infections and neoplasms, as well as other known applications for minocycline and tetracycline compounds in general, such as blocking tetracycline efflux and modulation of gene expression.

Abstract: A layer on the reverse side of an imaging member provides excellent crack resistance to the imaging layer(s) on the front side. The crack-deterring backing layer can be a laminated self-adhesive, such as tape, or a coating. Because the crack-deterring backing layer is on the reverse side, it does not affect the electrical properties of the imaging member. Overcoat layers may be used whose function is limited to improved scratch resistance.

Abstract: A compound of Formula (I): wherein: X is selected from the group consisting of O, S, and NR17, where R17 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; A and Y are CH, N, NR17, O, or S; C1 and C2 are each C or N, wherein C1 and C2 are the same or different; D1 and D2 are each C or N, wherein D1 and D2 are the same or different; B and Z are CH, N, or NR17, provided that B, Z, or both B and Z are not present when A, Y, or both A and Y are O, S, or NR17; R13, R14, R1 and R8 can be present or absent, and when present are selected from the group consisting of H, lower alkyl, halogen, alkoxyl, aryloxyl, aralkoxy and hydroxyl; R15 and Rare selected from the group consisting of H, lower alkyl, halogen, alkoxyl, aryloxyl, aralkoxy and hydroxyl; R3 and R6 are each independently selected from the group consisting of H, hydroxy, lower alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkoxyl, hydroxycycloalkyl, alkoxycycloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, aminoalkyl, acyloxy, acetoxy, and alkylaminoalkyl; and R2, R4, R5 and R7 are each independently selected fr

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for separating and recovering ethane, propane and heavier components from a feed gas, e.g. raw natural gas or a refinery or petroleum plant gas stream or a petrochemical plant gas stream. These methods employ a common new concept which is the use of the turbo-expander shaft compressor to generate the reflux requirement for the cryogenic absorber or distillation columns. The power of the turbo-expander which is absorbed by the shaft compressor is always high enough so that reflux generation by a specific gas compression through the expander shaft compressor and subsequent cooling, condensation and sub-cooling can always be easily maintained. The present invention allows for higher cryogenic absorber pressure and a lower demethanizer/de-ethanizer column pressure thus eliminating the common cryogenic pump at absorber bottom. The present invention ultimately results in a lower residue compression and utilities consumption.

Abstract: Wireless transmission of data is effected across a communications channel defined by a communications medium by means of an encoder, operable to apply a low density parity check (LDPC) code to data for transmission. The LDPC code is irregular with respect to the degree of variable nodes, and so the transmitter further comprises means for sorting encoded data with respect to the corresponding variable node degree, and modulation and distribution means for allocating encoded and sorted data onto the communications medium.
