  • Patent number: 8491872
    Abstract: Cinnamic acid-based oligomers and therapeutic uses thereof are provided. The oligomers are used as anti-inflammation agents, inhibitors of elastase and anti-oxidants, and in some cases (e.g. the treatment of lung disorders such as lung cancer) all three activities are simultaneously beneficial. Subsets of the oligomers (e.g. ?-O4 and ?-5 trimers and tetramers) are used as anticoagulants.

  • Patent number: 8481763
    Abstract: A process is provided for preparing dronedarone or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The process comprises reacting 5-amino-2-butyl-3-(4-[3-(dibutylamino)propoxy]benzoyl)benzofuran (compound A) with methanesulfonyl chloride without any catalyst to provide crude dronedarone hydrochloride, which is purified to afford highly pure product. Then, the dronedarone hydrochloride can be converted to highly pure dronedarone through treatment with an alkaline solvent, the dronedarone can be further converted to other pharmaceutically acceptable salts of dronedarone. In this process, acylation between compound A and methanesulfonyl chloride is carried out successfully and the formation of the dimethylsulfonyl by-product is inhibited.
