Abstract: The instant invention provides for novel lipid nanoparticles and novel lipid nanoparticle components (specifically cationic lipids) that are useful for the delivery of nucleic acids, specifically siRNA, for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract: Certain six-membered aromatic and heteroaromatic-dioxobutyric acid derivatives are described as inhibitors of HIV integrase and inhibitors of HIV replication. These compounds are useful in the prevention or treatment of infection by HIV and the treatment of AIDS, either as compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutical composition ingredients, whether or not in combination with other antivirals, immunomodulators, antibiotics or vaccines. Methods of treating AIDS and methods of preventing or treating infection by HIV are also described.

Abstract: Nitrogen-containing heteroaryl dioxo-butyric acid derivatives are described as inhibitors of HIV integrase and inhibitors of HIV replication. These compounds are useful in the prevention or treatment of infection by HIV and the treatment of AIDS, either as compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutical composition ingredients, whether or not in combination with other antivirals, immunomodulators, antibiotics or vaccines. Methods of treating AIDS and methods of preventing or treating infection by HIV are also described.

Abstract: This invention relates to certain novel piperazine compounds and derivatives thereof, their synthesis, and their use as oxytocin receptor antagonists. One application of these compounds is in the treatment of preterm labor in mammals, especially humans. The ability of the compounds to relax uterine contractions in mammals also makes them useful for treating dysmenorrhea and stopping labor prior to cesarean delivery.

Abstract: Compounds having a benzodiazepine hydrazide core are described. These compounds are useful in the inhibition of HIV integrase, the prevention or treatment of infection by HIV and the treatment of AIDS, either as compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutical composition ingredients, whether or not in combination with other antivirals, immunomodulators, antibiotics or vaccines. Methods of treating AIDS and methods of preventing or treating infection by HIV are also described.

Abstract: Substituted hexahydro arylquinolizines and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are selective .alpha..sub.2 -adrenergic receptor antagonists and thereby useful as antidepressants, antihypertensives, ocular antihypertensives, antidiabetics, platelet aggregation inhibitors, antiobesity agents, and modifiers of gastrointestinal motility.
