Abstract: Granulates comprising an effervescent couple of anhydrous powdered monosodium citrate and powdered sodium bicarbonate and prepared using a roller compactor are formulated into pharmaceutical compositions.
Abstract: The present invention is to a method of treating cancer in patients in need thereof with an effective amount of cimetidine. Cimetidine has been found to inhibit the expression of E-selectin, the ligands of sialyl Lewis X and sialyl Lewis A antigen-bearing cancer cells are incapable of attaching to a vascular wall. The present invention has found that cimetidine inhibits metastasis in patients whose specimens stained strongly for sialyl Lewis X and sialyl Lewis A antigens.
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compounds and a novel use of phenyl ureas in the treatment of disease states mediated by the chemokine Interleukin-8 (IL-8).

Abstract: Solid phase combinatorial synthesis is carried out in a multi-reactor synthesizer comprising an array of separate reactor cells (1-9) containing a solid reaction support medium (26). Subsets of the reactor cells (1-9) are interconnected with one another in a desired pattern, and, in a first reaction step, reagents (A, B, C) are circulated through the subsets. After the first reaction step is completed, the reactor cells (1-9) are rearranged into a new configuration of the subsets, and the same, or other, reagents (A, B, C) are circulated through the new subsets. The process can be repeated to produce large numbers of compounds differing from one another.
