Abstract: The present invention is concerned with derivatives of 3,5-diphenyl-diazole compounds, which are effective therapeutic agents for use in treating diseases linked to protein aggregation and/or neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). The therapeutic effect is caused by the inhibition of the protein aggregation in the affected tissue, such as the brain. 3,5-Diphenyl-diazole derivatives have been shown to be effective in inhibiting aggregation of proteins but are also characterized by their poor solubility in aqueous solutions. The prodrugs of the invention are modified 3,5-diphenyl-diazole derivatives, which are characterized by their improved solubility in aqueous solutions, and by their increased bioavailability.

Abstract: A process for imparting flame resistance and the flame resistant fabrics produced by such process are provided. The process for imparting flame resistant properties involves treating a target fabric with one or more flame retardant chemicals (and, preferably, a softening agent) and then curing the treated fabric to durably affix the flame retardant to the fabric. In many cases, it may be desirable to subject the treated fabric to mechanical face finishing to increase softness. Optionally, stain release agents, soil repellent agents, permanent press resins, and the like may be added to the bath of flame retardant chemicals, eliminating the need for one or more additional manufacturing processes. Alternately, soil repellent agents may be applied to only one side of the treated fabric after the application of the flame retardant chemicals. The present fabrics exhibit improved performance and tear strength, even after repeated launderings, as compared to conventionally treated fabrics.
