Abstract: The present application is concerned with compounds useful as carriers of cytotoxic agents. More particularly it deals with derivatives of steroid compounds having a 5-androstene carbon skeleton and having an oleyl ester at the 3-position and having a 17-carbamyl alkyl substituent which linked to cytotoxic agents for delivery to cancer cells exclusively via the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) pathway.

Abstract: Organic sulfoxides having a latent allyl group bound to the sulfur are enzyme inhibitors of the suicide or K.sub.cat type.

Abstract: This invention relates to a device for maintaining vessels substantially free of moisture. The device is a cap or stopper having a hollow section to contain a drying agent, a nonporous top member having at least one pinhole therein and a porous bottom member.

Abstract: A process is provided which yields derivatives of cephalosporins and penicillins. The process starts with 7-acylaminocephalosporin, or 6-acylaminopenicillin, then the latter compounds are treated with an organolithium compound, followed with t-butyl-hypochlorite. Finally, a defined reagent is added yielding a side chain on the carbon adjacent to the amino-nitrogen. Novel intermediate compounds are also described. The end compounds prepared are active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract: A process is provided which yields derivatives of cephalosporins and penicillins. The process starts with 7-aminodecephalosporanic acid or 6-APA and reacts with a carbonyl containing compound to form a Schiff's base (imino) adduct. This latter compound is then treated with a defined reactant yielding a novel Schiff's base adduct having a side chain on the carbon adjacent to the imino-nitrogen. The amino moiety can be regenerated and further reacted to form end compounds which are active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract: A splash guard device for passing a gas or vaporized liquid out of a vessel while preventing any of the liquid from leaving said vessel.

Abstract: Disclosed are N-alkylated derivatives of the antibiotic thienamycin, which has the following structure: ##STR1## Such compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester and amide derivatives are useful as antibiotics. Also disclosed are processes for the preparation of such derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such derivatives, and methods of treatment comprising administering such derivatives and compositions when an antibiotic effect is indicated.

Abstract: Disclosed are carboxyl derivatives, i.e., esters, anhydrides and amides, of the antibiotic thienamycin, which has the following structure: ##STR1## Such derivatives are useful as antibiotics. Also disclosed are processes for the preparation of such derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such derivatives, and methods of treatment comprising administering such derivatives and compositions when an antibiotic effect is indicated.

Abstract: Through total synthesis methods developed in the assignee's laboratories, new as well as old penicillin and cephalosporin compounds (all containing the beta-lactam functional group) have been prepared. One of the key intermediates prepared by total synthesis has the 7-amino (6-amino in the case of a penicillin derivative) group in the alpha configuration. The instant invention provides a general route for preparing the 7.beta.-amino (or 6.beta.-amino) compound, through the formation of an imino-containing intermediate, followed by hydrolysis to the desired epimer. Novel intermediate products are provided. The compounds having the desired beta epimer can be converted to acylaminoantibiotics.

Abstract: Disclosed are N-alkylated derivatives of thienamycin sulfoxide (I, n=1) and sulfone (I, n=2): ##STR1## wherein n=1 or 2; and R.sup.5, R.sup.6, and R.sup.7 are, inter alia, hydrogen or alkyl. Such compounds the their pharmaceutically acceptable O- and carboxyl- derivatives are useful as antibiotics. Also disclosed are processes for the preparation of such derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such derivatives and methods of treatment comprising administering such derivatives and compositions when an antibiotic effect is indicated.

Abstract: Device for controlling gas flow into vessels without allowing undesired gas, such as outside air, from entering the vessel.
