Abstract: This disclosure concerns the discovery of the use of fenoterol and (R,R)- and (R,S)-fenoterol analogues for the treatment of a tumor expressing a ?2-adrenergic receptor, such as a primary brain tumor, including a glioblastoma or astrocytoma expressing a ?2-adrenergic receptor. In one example, the method includes administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of fenoterol, a specific fenoterol analogue or a combination thereof to reduce one or more symptoms associated with the tumor, thereby treating the tumor in the subject.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a chromatography device with a stationary phase containing multiple binding moieties. The binding moieties are first solubilized and then immobilized on a stationary phase to create a multiple binding moieties phase for use in a chromatography device. In an alternative to the stationary phase embodiment, a single binding moiety can be directly bonded covalently to a support within the chromatography column. Combinations of constructions involving stationary phase immobilization and direct covalent bonding can also be employed. The multiple binding moiety chromatography devices are useful in investigating interactions among different binding moieties in pharmacological studies and in drug discovery.

Abstract: The invention relates to an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit for the rapid determination of N-acetyltransferase (NAT2) phenotype which can be used on a routine basis in a clinical laboratory. The ELISA kit allows physicians to: a) individualize therapy of drugs such as amrinone, procainamide, amonafide, dapsone, isoniazid, trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and b) to predict susceptibility to carcinogen induced diseases such as bladder and colon rectal cancers.

Abstract: An oxido-reducto synthesis is carried out in a liquid medium with enzymatic transformation of a substrate with an oxido-reducto cofactor dependent enzyme in the presence of a cofactor for the transformation; the enzyme is immobilized by a support which is stationarily disposed in a flow path along which a liquid medium containing the substrate flows in contact with the support.
