Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical device suitable for being inserted into the lumen of an anatomic structure of a subject, said medical device comprising means for administration of TRPC6 inhibitor, wherein said means comprises the TRPC6 inhibitor. The present invention further concerns a method of manufacturing a medical device suitable for being inserted into the lumen of an anatomic structure of a subject. Also, the invention relates to a TRPC6 inhibitor for use in the treatment or prevention of a disease associated with neointimal hyperplasia associated with the migration of smooth muscular cells. The invention also relates to a method of treating or preventing a disease associated with neointimal hyperplasia, said method comprising administering a TRPC6 inhibitor to a subject in need thereof. Also envisaged is a method of inhibiting migration of smooth muscle cells.

Abstract: Selective hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds, e.g. of acetylene to ethylene, uses a hydrogenation catalyst comprising an ordered intermetallic compound. The ordered intermetallic compound comprises at least one metal of type A capable of activating hydrogen, and at least one metal of type B not capable of activating hydrogen. The structure of the ordered intermetallic compound is such that the type A metal is mainly surrounded by atoms of the type B metal.
