Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of cancer as well as methods of treatment of cancer that are based on the finding that certain benzimidazole based anti-cancer agents can be used in combination with a second anti-cancer agent to achieve desirable therapeutic outcomes. More specifically the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition including a benzimidazole based anti-cancer agent and a second anti-cancer agent. The invention also relates to methods of treatment of cancer including administration of a benzimidazole based anti-cancer agent and a second anti-cancer agent to a patient in need thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to hydroxamate compounds which are inhibitors of histone deacetylase. More particularly, the present invention relates to imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine containing compounds and methods for their preparation. These compounds may be useful as medicaments for the treatment of proliferative disorders as well as other diseases involving, relating to or associated with enzymes having histone deacetylase activities (HDAC).

Abstract: The present invention relates to pyrimidine compounds that are useful as anti-proliferative agents. More particularly, the present invention relates to heteroalkyl linked and substituted pyrimidine compounds, methods for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and uses of these compounds in the treatment of proliferative disorders. These compounds may be useful as medicaments for the treatment of a number of proliferative disorders including tumours and cancers as well as other conditions or disorders associated with kinases.

Abstract: A water treatment process comprising: (a) providing bioactive material in waste water, the bioactive material containing microorganisms capable of removing one or more impurities from the waste water, wherein at least 40% by volume of said bioactive material in said waste water is in granular form; and (b) passing a portion of the waste water through a membrane separator, whereby the membrane separator prevents the bioactive material from passing therethrough.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pyrimidine compounds that are useful as anti-proliferative agents. More particularly, the present invention relates to oxygen linked and substituted pyrimidine compounds, methods for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and uses of these compounds in the treatment of proliferative disorders. These compounds may be useful as medicaments for the treatment of a number of proliferative disorders including tumours and cancers as well as other disorders or conditions related to or associated with kinases.
