Abstract: This invention describes the discovery and synthesis of N-thiolated 2-oxazolidinones as a new class of anti bacterial agents. These compounds can be synthesized from 2-oxazolidinones by Ndeprotection and N-sulfenylation. These new substances were found to exhibit potent anti-bacterial activity, including bacteriostatic properties against Staphylococcus spp., including methicillin resistant Staphylcoccus aureus (MRSA), and Bacillus spp., including Bacillus anthracis.
Abstract: The present invention relates to phosphate ester prodrugs of dihydropyrrole compounds that are useful for treating cellular proliferative diseases, for treating disorders associated with KSP kinesin activity, and for inhibiting KSP kinesin. The invention also related to compositions which comprise these compounds, and methods of using them to treat cancer in mammals.

Abstract: The instant invention relates to the discovery of certain novel herbicidal esters of agriculturally active acids. These esters present agronomical advantages over traditional herbicidal products by presenting multiple herbicidal mechanisms that ensure activity over a broad weed spectrum while limiting the appearance of plant resistance.
Abstract: Imidazole compounds having adenosine deaminase inhibitory activity represented by the formula (I): wherein R1 is optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted heteroaryl, R2 is lower alkyl; R3 is hydroxy or protected hydroxy; X is O or S; and -A- is lower alkylene, its prodrug, or their salt.
Abstract: Amine compounds are disclosed that have a formula represented by the following: The compounds may be prepared as pharmaceutical compositions, and may be used for the prevention and treatment of a variety of conditions in mammals including humans, including by way of non-limiting example, pain, inflammation, traumatic injury, and others.

Abstract: Electron acceptor compounds, nonlinear optical chromophores, methods for making the compounds and chromophores, and materials and electro-optic devices that include the chromophores.
Abstract: The present invention relates to dihydropyrazole compounds that are useful for treating cellular proliferative diseases, for treating disorders associated with KSP kinesin activity, and for inhibiting KSP kinesin. The invention also related to compositions which comprise these compounds, and methods of using them to treat cancer in mammals.
Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing an optically active 2-allylcarboxylic acid derivative, which is useful as a pharmaceutical intermediate, from readily available and inexpensive starting materials by the process which can be practiced on a commercial scale in a simple and easy manner, and certain 2-allylcarboxamide derivatives, which are novel and important intermediates in that process. An N-allylcarboxamide derivative undergoes rearrangement reaction diastereoselectively in the presence of a base to give a 2-allylcarboxamide derivative, the resulting derivative is subjected to a carbamation reaction and solvolysis to give an optically active 2-allylcarboxylic acid ester, and then the ester obtained is stereoselectively hydrolyzed using an enzyme to produce 2-allylcarboxylic acid having a high optical purity. In addition, the present invention provides a 2-allylcarboxamide derivative compound which is a novel intermediate in the process of the present invention.
