Abstract: The invention provides new deuterated derivatives of 6,8-bis(benzylsulfanyl)octanoic acid, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods for treating cancer with the new compositions.

Abstract: This invention provides hexamethylenediamine muconate salt. This novel salt can be produced by bioconversion of toluene to muconic acid in the presence of hexamethylenediamine. Hydrogenation of this salt provides hexamethylenediamine adipate salt.

Abstract: This invention provides a process for the bioconversion of a non-growth aromatic feed to an accumulated quantity of a picolinic acid product with reduced accumulation of 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde, and conducted in the presence of ammonium or a primary amine, which acid subsequently can be converted by chemical means to a pyridine product.

Abstract: This invention provides a process for producing nylon 6,6 salt which involves bioconversion of toluene to muconic acid in the presence of hexamethylenediamine to yield hexamethylenediamine muconate salt. Hydrogenation of this salt provides an aqueous solution of the desired hexamethylenediamine adipate salt.

Abstract: This invention provides an improved fermentation process for bioconversion of toluene to muconic acid.The process involves operating the bioconversion system under phosphate-limiting conditions so as to achieve an increase in specific muconic acid productivity with a stabilized population of microorganism such as an ATCC No. 31,916 type of Pseudomonas putida Biotype A mutant strain.

Abstract: Selected substituted phenols may be usefully employed as mosquito development inhibitors.

Abstract: The present invention provides a protective garment fabric material for enhanced personal protection against harmful substances present in the ambient atmosphere. This fabric is manufactured from microporous hollow fibers containing neutralization agents capable of detoxifying chemical or biological agents in the lumina of the fibers. The protective fabrics of the present invention possess enhanced mechanical strength, high efficiency, and at the same time provide a larger concentration of detoxicant per surface area than the protective fabrics of the prior art.
