  • Patent number: 7572778
    Abstract: The present invention is related to new derivatives of Combretastatin, of Formula obtained by total synthesis. The strategy developed for each of the compounds is to i) replace a halogen (i.e. fluorine atom) to hydrogen on olefinic bound; ii) replace an aromatic ring in a natural product with an amino-aromatic ring. Said compounds recognize and bind the tubulin site: are useful for treating pathological states which arise from or are exacerbated by cell proliferation—as anticancer and/or antiangiogenic activity, in a mammal—to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds.

  • Patent number: 7249231
    Abstract: A memory, particularly but not limitatively a flash memory, comprises at least one data storage area comprising a plurality of data storage locations, and an access circuitry for accessing the data storage locations for either retrieving or altering a data content thereof, depending for example on a memory user request. The memory includes at least one first user-configurable flag element and a second user-configurable flag element. Both the at least one first and the second flag elements are used by a user to set a protected state of the respective data storage area against alteration of the content of the data storage locations thereof. The protected state defined by setting the first flag element is user-removable, i.e., it can be removed by request from the user, so as to enable again the alteration of the content of the data storage area.
