Abstract: The present technology provides compounds of Formula I (or pharmaceutically acceptable salts and/or solvates thereof) that are useful in treating a CNS-related disorder such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, migraine, depression, pain, drug addiction, drug use, and/or drug seeking behavior. Also provided are compositions, medicaments, and methods including such compounds.

Abstract: The present technology provides methods end medicaments useful for treating prostate cancer and breast cancer. Such methods include administering at least one of cyclo[Phe-D-Pro-Phe-Trp] and cyclo[Phe-D-Pro-Phe-D-Trp] to a subject suffering from prostate cancer or breast cancer.

Abstract: A synthetic reaction to produce [2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethoxy] acetic acid (AEEA) derivatives. This synthetic reaction does not require isolation and purification of intermediates. The AEEA derivatives can be used to synthesize high load polystyrene-polyethylene glycol-like resins having excellent swelling characteristics.

Abstract: Two basic design criteria for producing oligonucleotide "negative control probes" for use in nucleic acid hybridization assays are described. Each type of negative control probe also functions as a synthetic polynucleotide "target" that is useful for testing the other type of negative control probe. These design criteria also provide structures that are not naturally occurring, but are analogous to naturally occurring nucleic acids in primary, secondary and tertiary structure. These design criteria are useful in hybridization assays and potentially in other applications as well.
