  • Organo-titanate catalysts for preparing pure macrocyclic oligoesters
    Publication number: 20050054862
    Abstract: Organo-titanate catalysts are prepared that are useful to catalyze depolymerization of a polyester to produce macrocyclic oligoesters substantially free from macrocyclic co-oligoesters.
    Type: Application

  • Methods for the treatment of neoplastic disorders with anti-caveolin agents
    Publication number: 20050036986
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of metastatic diseases using metastatic sequences, such as caveolin, to target metastatic cells. According to the methods of the present invention, certain cancers, including metastatic prostate cancer, may be treated by therapies which suppress expression of the caveolin gene. The present invention relates to biological technologies designed to block the activity of caveolin or the function of caveolae, including vector delivery of antisense caveolin sequences, the use of anti-caveolin antibodies, the use of promoters, and other approaches targeting the expression of caveolin.

  • Isolation, formulation and shaping of macrocyclic oligoesters
    Publication number: 20040254281
    Abstract: Processes for isolating, formulating, and shaping macrocyclic oligesters were developed which allow efficient production of macrocyclic oligoesters substantially free from solvent, which may include additives, fillers, and catalysts.

  • Purification of macrocyclic oligoesters
    Publication number: 20040192879
    Abstract: Acid impurities, such as carboxylic acid-terminated polymers, are removed from macrocyclic oligoesters with ion exchange resins, resulting in macrocyclic oligoesters that are substantially free of acid impurities. The ion exchange resins can be regenerated anew and reused by washing the resins with various wash solutions. Macrocyclic oligoesters substantially free of acid impurities polymerize to much higher molecular weight polyesters than macrocyclic oligoesters containing acid impurities.
