Abstract: Amine functional polyamides comprise amine and ammonium groups along the polymer chain. Amine functional polyamides can be used as pharmaceutical agents and in pharmaceutical compositions. The amine functional polyamides are particularly useful in the treatment or prevention of mucositis and infection, specifically oral mucositis, surgical site infection, and lung infection associated with cystic fibrosis.

Abstract: Amide compounds, amide polymers and compositions including amide compounds and amide polymers may be used to bind target ions, such as phosphorous-containing compounds in the gastrointestinal tract of animals. In some cases, the amide polymers may be amido-amine dendrimers that may be formed via a series of iterative reactions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a polymer or physiologically acceptable salt thereof. The polymer comprises a polymerized multifunctional amine monomer. The amine monomer comprises at least two amine groups and at least two acyclic nitrogen atoms that are connected through a —CH2CH2— group, provided that the amine monomer is not ethylenediamine or diethylenetriamine. The disclosed polymers can be used to bind anions in subject in need of such treatment.

Abstract: A one-component adhesive for metal surfaces such as iron, zinc, copper, cadmium and their alloys that will cure upon contact with the metal surface. The adhesive composition includes an olefinically unsaturated monomer; an acidic compound; a sulfonyl-containing compound; and a compound containing a transition metal. The adhesive composition may also optionally contain additional polymeric materials and will cure rapidly upon contact with a metal surface to form an adhesive bond between metal surfaces. The adhesive composition avoids the use of halide-containing compounds which can be undesirable in certain applications.
