  • Publication number: 20100010265
    Abstract: Process for the obtaining of 1-adamantane (tricycle[3.3.1.1 (3,7)]decane) derivatives, or of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, based on a carboxylation reaction, via metallation, of a precursor compound with an adequate leaving group. It also comprises the preparation of the precursor compound by means of a selective coupling of the corresponding boron, magnesium or zinc derivative with the corresponding disubstitute aromatic derivative. It is especially useful for the obtaining of Adapalene at industrial scale with good yield and high purity.

  • Patent number: 7598302
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an adhesion promoter for bonding fluoropolymers and, more specifically, for bonding a fluoroplastic layer to a fluroelastomer layer in a multi-layered article, such as a fuel filler hose. In one embodiment, the adhesion promoter includes a solvent, a polyallyamine (PAA), and an organo-onium compound. The solvent can include an organic solvent, such as an alcohol, e.g., methanol, ethanol, or isopropanol. The polyallylamine includes a homopolymer of 2-propen-1-amine, and the organo-onium compound can include an organic phosphonium salt. The final composition of the adhesion promoter can include solvent in the range of about 80% by weight to about 99% by weight; polyallylamine in the range of about 0.5% by weight to about 10% by weight; and organo-onium compound in the range of about 0.5% by weight to about 10% by weight. Such adhesion promoter may further optionally include a silane, such as an organosilane.

  • Patent number: 7589239
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel compounds according to formula (I) wherein R1, R2, and X are as defined herein. The invention also discloses methods of preparation, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of disease treatment utilizing pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds. The compounds of this invention are novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer, diabetes, metabolic diseases and skin disorders in mammalian subjects. These compounds are also useful modulators of gene expression. They exert their activity by interfering with certain cellular signal transduction cascades. The compounds of the invention are thus also useful for regulating cell differentiation and cell cycle processes that are controlled or regulated by various hormones or cytokines. The invention also discloses pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment of disease in mammals.
