  • Patent number: 12285437
    Abstract: A pre-prodrug, comprising a drug, e.g., doxorubicin, which has off-target toxicity (e.g., cardiotoxicity) with respect to its antineoplastic activity, and an amine functionality of the drug incorporated into a disubstituted maleimide (DMI). The pre-prodrug may be linked to a targeting or de-targeting agent or a polar modulator, e.g., charged ligand, amino acid, peptide, etc., to increase therapeutic index. The pre-prodrug is hydrolyzed to the prodrug, having a disubstituted maleamic acid (DMA). A polar modulator such as glutamic acid prevents cellular uptake of the prodrug, but not the doxorubicin drug released from the prodrug after dissociation. The prodrug is pH sensitive, and below pH 7.0, tends to cleave to form free drug and cyclized maleic anhydride. Tumor environments tend to be more acidic, e.g., pH 6.8, than cardiac tissue, e.g., pH 7.4, and therefore the heart is spared while the drug is selectively released within a tumor.

  • Patent number: 11785233
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a video interface conversion device that includes a first and a second interface transmission circuit, a color conversion circuit and an image compression circuit. The first and the second interface transmission circuit are respectively electrically coupled to an image source and a display terminal. The second interface transmission circuit negotiates a maximum output bandwidth with the display terminal such that the first interface transmission circuit compares an input data bandwidth of a data signal received from the image source and the maximum output bandwidth. When the maximum output bandwidth is smaller than the input data bandwidth, an image compression and/or a color coding conversion is performed on the data signal, and the data signal having the processed input data bandwidth being smaller than or equal to the maximum output bandwidth is further transmitted by the second interface transmission circuit to the display terminal.

  • Patent number: 11689762
    Abstract: A method for switching audio-visual interfaces and a circuit system are provided. The circuit system is disposed in a sink device. A protocol layer circuit of each of audio-visual interfaces in the sink device includes a status and control data channel control module, which is used to respond to the signals sent by the video sources continuously when the sink device is connected with audio-visual sources via the audio-visual interfaces. The multiple video sources can accordingly send FRL (fixed rate link) signals to the sink device in response to responses made by the sink device. The protocol layer circuit includes an FRL audio-visual packet detection module that starts to detect a rate of an FRL and resolve audio-visual packets for obtaining audio-visual data for the audio-visual interface that the sink device switches to.

  • Patent number: 11412302
    Abstract: A detection circuit and a wake-up method are provided. The detection circuit is adapted to a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) receiver that enters a power-saving mode in a fixed rate link (FRL) mode to detect whether or not an HDMI transmitter starts to transmit video packets through the FRL. The detection circuit includes a signal detection circuit detecting whether or not signal exists on the FRL and an FRL packet determination circuit determining whether or not the FRL packets are the video packets according to a variable value characteristic of the video packets and/or a fixed value characteristic of gap packets. An existence of the signal on the FRL indicates an existence of FRL packets on the FRL. When the FRL packets are the video packets, the FRL packet determination circuit wakes the HDMI receiver from the power-saving mode to resolve the video packets and display videos.
