  • Patent number: 11967596
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a first-voltage power rail and a second-voltage power rail in a first connection layer, and includes a first-voltage underlayer power rail and a second-voltage underlayer power rail below the first connection layer. Each of the first-voltage and second-voltage power rails extends in a second direction that is perpendicular to a first direction. Each of the first-voltage and second-voltage underlayer power rails extends in the first direction. The integrated circuit includes a first via-connector connecting the first-voltage power rail with the first-voltage underlayer power rail, and a second via-connector connecting the second-voltage power rail with the second-voltage underlayer power rail.

  • Publication number: 20160031877
    Abstract: The invention provides kinase inhibitors of Formula I: wherein either: (1) R1 is H, and (a) R2 is (3-chlorobenzyl)oxy- and R3 is chloro; (b) R2 and R3, together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached, form 1-(3-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazole; (c) R2 is 2-pyridinylmethoxy and R3 is chloro; (d) R2 and R3 are both chloro; (e) R2 is chloro and R3 is bromo; (f) R2 and R3 are both bromo; (g) R2 is fluoro and R3 is ethynyl; (h) R2 is chloro and R3 is ethynyl; (i) R2 is bromo and R3 is ethynyl; (j) other than when R2 is in the 3-position in combination with R3 in the 4-position, R2 is bromo and R3 is fluoro; (k) R2 is 2-pyridinylmethoxy and R3 is fluoro; or (l) R2 is 2-pyridinylmethoxy and R3 is bromo; or (2) at least one of R1, R2 and R3 is selected from benzyloxy, 3-chlorobenzyloxy and 2-pyridinylmethoxy and when at least one of R1, R2 and R3 is not benzyloxy, 3-chlorobenzyloxy or 2-pyridinylmethoxy, each of the others is independently selected from H, halogen, and C2-C4 alkynyl, with the proviso that

  • Publication number: 20160002222
    Abstract: The invention provides novel prodrug compounds comprising a kinase inhibitor and a reductively-activated fragmenting aromatic nitroheterocycle or aromatic nitrocarbocycle trigger, where the compound carries a positive charge. In preferred embodiments, the compounds are of Formula I: where: X is any negatively charged counterion; R1 is a group of the formula —(CH2)nTr, where Tr is an aromatic nitroheterocyde or aromatic nitrocarbocycle and —(CH2)nTr acts as a reductively-activated fragmenting trigger; and n is an integer from 0 to 6; R2, R3 and R4 may each independently be selected from aliphatic or aromatic groups of a tertiary amine kinase inhibitor (R2)(R3)(R4)N, or two of R2, R3, and R4 may form an aliphatic or aromatic heterocyclic amine ring of a kinase inhibitor, or one of R2, R3, and R4 may be absent and two of R2, R3 and R4 form an aromatic heterocyclic amine ring of a kinase inhibitor. The compounds of the invention are useful in treating proliferative diseases such as cancer.
