  • Publication number: 20200172667
    Abstract: The present invention provides cross-linking compounds having structures as set forth herein for cross-linking organic polymers. Further, polymer compositions include a cross-linking compound and an organic polymer, and in some embodiments the composition further includes a cross-linking reaction additive for controlling the cross-linking reaction rate. In alternate embodiments, the present invention provides cross-linking compositions including a cross-linking compound and a cross-linking reaction additive capable of forming a reactive intermediate oligomer for cross-linking an organic polymer. Further provided are methods of cross-linking organic polymers, organic polymers formed thereby, and molded articles formed from the cross-linked organic polymers. Additionally, methods for forming high glass transition temperature elastomeric materials and methods for forming extrusion-resistant and creep-resistant materials are provided.

  • Patent number: 8871796
    Abstract: The invention encompasses a novel class of diaryl ether derivatives which inhibit the processing of APP by the putative ?-secretase while sparing Notch signaling pathway, and thus are useful in the treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's disease without the development of Notch inhibition mediated gastrointestinal issues. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use are also included.

  • Publication number: 20050153986
    Abstract: Tetrazole compounds substituted directly, or by a bridge, with i) a heteroaryl moiety containing N adjacent to the point of connection of the heteroaryl and ii) another heteroaryl or aryl ring, with at least one of the rings being further substituted with another ring, are mGluR5 modulators useful in the treatment of psychiatric and mood disorders such as, for example, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, panic, and bipolar disorder, as well as in the treatment of pain, Parkinson's disease, cognitive dysfunction, epilepsy, circadian rhythm disorders, drug addiction, drug abuse, drug withdrawal, obesity and other diseases.

  • Publication number: 20050054714
    Abstract: The present invention encompasses compounds of Formula I or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein each R1 may be substituted at any substitutable position on A and each R1 is independently selected from the group consisting of: halo, cyano, C1-4alkoxy, C1-4alkylthio and C1-4alkyl, each of said C1-4alkoxy, C1-4alkylthio and C1-4alkyl optionally substituted with 1 to 3 halo groups, R2 is selected from the group consisting of: C1-6alkyl and C3-6cycloalkyl, R3 is selected from the group consisting of: hydrogen, C1-6alkyl and C3-6cycloalkyl and R4 is a nitric oxide releasing moiety. Pharmaceutical composition comprising said compounds and methods of using said compounds are also encompassed. The compounds of the present invention lower the level of A?42 and are therefore useful for treating or preventing Alzheimer's Disease. The compounds of the invention also release nitric oxide in vivo and have a reduced potency for cyclooxygenase activity.
