  • Patent number: 11713331
    Abstract: The invention provides extended bisphosphonate-based metal complexes using benzene1,4-bis(bisphosphonic acid) (BBPA), an analog of benzene 1,4-dicarboxylic acid (BDC). Hydrothermal synthesis of BBPA with the bioactive metals Ca2+, Zn2+, and Mg2+ leads to four crystals phases, namely, BBPA-Ca forms I and II, BBPA-Zn form I, and BBPA-Mg form I. Out of the three structures, BBPA-Ca form II presents large channels (8 ?×12 ?), potentiating the use of this framework to load drugs. Cytotoxicity effects of BBPA was elucidated in a human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and a normal osteoblast hFOB 1.19 cell lines. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for BBPA used to treat both cell lines were >200 ?M at 24, 48, and 72 h of treatment. The BBPA in the range of concentration employed (0-200 ?M) was not cytotoxic against these cell lines.

  • Patent number: 11702384
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, the pH of a diisocyanate composition and a diamine hydrochloride composition used in the preparation of an optical lens is adjusted to a specific range, whereby it is possible to enhance not only the yield and purity of the diisocyanate composition but also the optical characteristics of the final optical lens by suppressing the striae and cloudiness. Specifically, according to the process of the embodiment, the amount of an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution introduced to the reaction may be adjusted to control the pH of the diisocyanate composition to a desired range, thereby enhancing the yield and purity. Accordingly, the process for preparing a diisocyanate composition according to the embodiment can be applied to the preparation of a plastic optical lens of high quality.
