  • Publication number: 20040127545
    Abstract: The invention provides new and useful analogs of 2-phthalimidinoglutaric acid. These analogs include DL-2-methyl-2-phthalimidinoglutaric acid and hydroxylated analogs of 2-phthalimidinoglutaric. The invention also provides processes for making these analogs. The invention also provides the two individual enantiomers of DL-2-methyl-2-phthalimidinoglutaric acid, (R) (+)-2-methyl-2-phthalimidinoglutaric acid and (S)-(−)-2-methyl-2-phthalimidinoglutaric acid, and processes for separating these individual enantiomers from the racemate. Further, the invention provides methods for inhibiting angiogenesis and treating angiogenesis-associated diseases, including cancer and macular degeneration, by administering one or more of these compounds.

  • Publication number: 20030191098
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a group of compounds that effectively inhibit angiogenesis. More specifically, thalidomide and various related compounds such as thalidomide precursors, analogs, metabolites and hydrolysis products have been shown to inhibit angiogenesis and to treat disease states resulting from angiogenesis. Additionally, antiinflammatory drugs, such as steroids and NSAIDs can inhibit angiogenesis dependent diseases either alone or in combination with thalidomide and related compounds. Importantly, these compounds can be administered orally.

  • Patent number: 4368959
    Abstract: The apparatus and method comprise means to evaluate the interocular latency difference known to exist in individuals afflicted with multiple sclerosis. The apparatus includes two horizontal rows of 10 light emitting diodes separated by a horizontal partition. The upper row of diodes is seen by the eye and a lower row of diodes is seen by the other eye. Although the two rows are separated vertically, they are made to overlap optically and appear as one row by means of two periscopic eye pieces. The ten diodes in each field of view are energized (strobed) sequentially for 1/10 of the time required to scan a horizontal row. The directions of scanning in the two rows are opposite to each other. A separate diffraction line ruling is placed in each optical path to produce elongated diffraction images of each energized diode in one row which are at 45 degrees to the horizontal and at right angles to the elongated diodes in the other row.
