Abstract: Liquid rubbers that are ordinarily immiscible in liquid thermoset resins can be made miscible by the addition of at least one non-functional aromatic end-group to the polymer chains of such liquid rubber compositions. Such addition may be initiated by high-temperature peroxides in non-functional aromatic solvents. The liquid rubbers are found to improve the fracture toughness of cured thermoset resins while maintaining dimensional and heat resistance.

Abstract: An aqueous coating composition having improved adhesion to friable surfaces including an emulsion polymer of certain compositions and certain acid numbers having a glass transition temperature of ?20 C to 100 C and an average particle diameter less than 120 nanometers; and 0.25-10%, by weight based on emulsion polymer weight, water-soluble alkoxylated amine is provided. In addition a method for for improving adhesion to friable surfaces by using the aqueous coating compositions of the invention is provided.

Abstract: Substituted condensation products of N-benzyl-3-indenylacetamides with heterocyclic aldehydes are useful for inducing or promoting apotosis and for arresting uncontrolled neoplastic cell proliferation, and are specifically useful in the arresting and treatment of neoplasias, including precancerous and cancerous lesions.

Abstract: This invention provides a method to identify compounds potentially useful for the treatment and prevention of neoplasia in mammals. The phosphodiesterase inhibitory activity of a compound is determined along with its ability to elevate JNK kinase activity. Growth inhibitory and apoptosis inducing effects on cultured tumor cells are also determined. Compounds that exhibit phosphodiesterase inhibition, an ability to elevate JNK kinase activity, growth inhibition and apoptosis induction are desirable for the treatment of neoplasia.

Abstract: Derivatives of 2-phenyl quinazolinones are useful for the treatment of patients having precancerous lesions. These compounds are also useful to inhibit growth of neoplastic cells.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for treating a patient with neoplasia by an adjuvant therapy that includes treatment with an antineoplastic vinca alkaloid derivative.

Abstract: A method of treating renal cell carcinoma in a mammal with that disease comprising administering to the mammal a physiologically effective amount of an inhibitor of PDE10.

Abstract: This invention provides pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds for the treatment of neoplasia in mammals. The phosphodiesterase inhibitory activity of a compound is determined along with COX inhibitory activity. Growth inhibitory and apoptosis inducing effects on cultured tumor cells are also determined. Compounds that exhibit phosphodiesterase inhibiton, growth inhibition and apoptosis induction, but prefereably not substantial prostaglandin inhibitory activity, are desirable for the treatment of neoplasia.

Abstract: A method for inhibiting neoplasia, particularly cancerous and precancerous lesions by exposing the affected cells to isoquinoline derivatives.

Abstract: [4,5]-Fused-3,6 disubstituted-pydidazines of Formula I are useful for inducing or promoting apoptosis and for arresting uncontrolled neoplastic cell proliferation, and are specifically useful in the arresting and treatment of neoplasia: wherein Y1 and Y2 are independently selected from the group consisting of (CH2)n,—C(X)—NH—,—(CH2)n—C(X)—O—, and X is O or S; R1 is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkynyl, and substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, pyridinyl, and the like; R2 is selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, benzyl, pyridinyl, and the like; “A” is a benzene ring fused with the pyridazine ring; and R3 is independently selected in each instance form the group consisting of halogen, lower alkyl, and the like.

Abstract: Substituted condensation products of -benzyl-3-indenylacetamides with heterocyclic aldehydes and other such inhibitors are useful for the treatment of type I diabetes.

Abstract: Derivatives of phenyl pyridinone are useful for the treatment of patients having precancerous lesions. These compounds are also useful to inhibit the growth of neoplastic cells.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for treating a patient with neoplasia by an adjuvant therapy that includes treatment with a paclitaxel derivative.

Abstract: Substituted condensation products of N-benzyl-3-indenylacetamides with heterocyclic aldehydes and other such inhibitors are useful for the treatment of cystic fibrosis.

Abstract: 1,3,6-Trihydro-6-Aza-3-Oxapentalen-2-One Derivatives which have the following formula: wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, Y, X, m, and n are as defined in the specification.

Abstract: A method for inhibiting the growth of neoplastic cells by exposure to 2,9-disubstituted purin-6-ones.

Abstract: Benzothienopyrimidine derivatives for inducing or promoting apoptosis and for arresting uncontrolled neoplastic cell proliferation, and specifically for arresting and treating neoplasia, including precancerous and cancerous lesions.

Abstract: Substituted condensation products of N-benzyl-3-indenylacetamides with heterocyclic aldehydes are useful for inducing or promoting apotosis and for arresting uncontrolled neoplastic cell proliferation, and are specifically useful in the arresting and treatment of neoplasias, including precancerous and cancerous lesions.

Abstract: A method for inhibiting neoplastic cells and related conditions by exposing them to N,N′-substituted benzimidazol-2-ones.
