  • Publication number: 20070274907
    Abstract: The present embodiments are directed to compositions and methods of delivering the compositions that comprise mitomycin C and superior magnetically targetable carrier particles. As the compositions are magnetically targetable, their use allows the localization of mitomycin C to particular locations within a patient. This allows for an increase in the effective concentration or a decrease in systemic exposure of mitomycin C in a patient.

  • Patent number: 5811507
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new polyesterimide of the type containing ester repeat functional groups E=--CO--O--, imide repeat functional groups I: ##STR1## and at least one chromophore, characterized in that it contains a quantity of recurrent amide functional groups capable of ring closure to imides which is smaller than or equal to 5 mol % relative to the sum of the imide functional groups and of the amide functional groups capable of ring closure to imides, which are present, and in that the polymerization functional groups consist essentially of E functional groups.This polyesterimide is preferably free from amide functional groups capable of ring closure to imides.One of the processes for obtaining this polyesterimide constitutes another subject-matter of the invention.Such a polymer is advantageously capable of behaving like a material that is transparent and/or active in nonlinear optics.
