  • Patent number: 11381198
    Abstract: A marina solar energy system and method is provided. The system includes one or more base assemblies designed to support corresponding solar panel assemblies. For example, the system may include dock box lids with recesses adapted to receive and secure one or more solar panels, and an energy distribution system to receive and distribute the energy produced by the solar panel assemblies (e.g., to other areas of the marina, to a local power grid, etc.). The system also may include rechargeable power sources, such as rechargeable battery packs, that may store the energy produced by the solar panels. The system also may include electrical outlets for use by occupants of the marina.

  • Patent number: 11274077
    Abstract: Human lipoxygenases (LOXs) are a family of iron-containing enzymes involved in catalyzing the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids to provide the corresponding bioactive hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) metabolites. These eicosanoid signaling molecules are involved in a number of physiologic responses such as platelet aggregation, inflammation, and cell proliferation. Platelet-type 12-(S)-LOX (12-LOX) is of particular interest because of its demonstrated role in skin diseases, diabetes, platelet hemostasis, thrombosis, and cancer. Disclosed herein is the identification and medicinal chemistry optimization of a 4-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)amino)benzenesulfonamide-based scaffold. The compounds display nM potency against 12-LOX and excellent selectivity over related lipoxygenases and cyclooxygenases. In addition to possessing favorable ADME properties, the compounds also inhibit PAR-4 induced aggregation and calcium mobilization in human platelets, and reduce 12-HETE in mouse/human beta cells.
