Abstract: The present invention relates to the use asymmetric monolayer forming species and electroconduit forming species to detect target analytes.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided compositions and methods useful for the in vivo delivery of substantially water insoluble pharmacologically active agents (such as the anticancer drug paclitaxel) in which the pharmacologically active agent is delivered in the form of suspended particles coated with protein (which acts as a stabilizing agent). In particular, protein and pharmacologically active agent in a biocompatible dispersing medium are subjected to high shear, in the absence of any conventional surfactants, and also in the absence of any polymeric core material for the particles. The procedure yields particles with a diameter of less than about 1 micron. The use of specific composition and preparation conditions (e.g., addition of a polar solvent to the organic phase), and careful election of the proper organic phase and phase fraction, enables the reproducible production of unusually small nanoparticles of less than 200 nm diameter, which can be sterile-filtered.

Abstract: Taxane derivatives having an amino substituted C13 side chain.

Abstract: Taxane derivatives having alternative C2 substituents.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and compositions for the use of electron transfer moieties with different redox potentials to electronically detect nucleic acids, particularly for the electrochemical sequencing of DNA.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided stabilized total nutrient admixture (TNA) compositions which are useful for the in vivo parenteral delivery of pharmacologically acceptable lipids or fats, as well as methods for the preparation thereof. In particular, the pharmacologically acceptable lipid or fat is contained within a protein walled shell. In a particular embodiment of the invention, a TNA composition using human serum albumin (HSA) as a stabilizer has been prepared as a convenient three-in-one formulation (i.e., containing a fat emulsion, dextrose, and amino acids plus electrolytes). This “three-in-one” formulation can be prepared in liquid form or in dry form (comprising submicron-sized nanoparticles). The dried material is stable, even under long term storage, and is easily reconstituted immediately before use by simply adding sterile water (with or without vitamin supplementation) This serves to rehydrate the powder into a TNA suitable for injection.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided derivatives of chemotherapeutic agents (e.g., paclitaxel), which serve as bifunctional agents. Invention derivatives retain the antitumor activity of the parent compound, and, coupled with the electron affinic substituents thereon, produce compounds which show a strong capability for radiosensitizing tumor cells growing in vitro. It is expected that a single drug which combines the properties of a radiosensitizer with chemotherapeutic activity will offer significant advantages not only to patients, but also to radiotherapists seeking improved modes of treatment. The combination of antitumor properties with electron-affinic function produces novel radiosensitizers, a second generation of drugs which are more powerful to fight cancers. Bifunctional agents with the dual properties of tubulin assembly and electron affinity will make the compounds useful not only as radiosensitizers, but also as cytotoxins.
