Abstract: A dynamic latch includes a first stage for receiving an input data value and for providing true and complement logic values representing the input data value; a second stage for receiving the true and complement logic values into first and second dynamic node, when a control signal is active; and a holding that outputs the true and complement logic values while the control signal is active. The second stage may provide a feedback signal to the first stage to block propagation of changes in the input data value after the true and complement logic values have been received. The feedback signal may be derived, for example, from logic values on the dynamic nodes. A holding circuit may be provided.

Abstract: A stabilized 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 composition which is particularly well suited for pharmaceutical formulations, pharmaceutical formulations of the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 composition, and a method of making the purified composition by purifying a crude 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 from acetone/water, are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel 16,23-diene 25-oxime ether analogs of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3, compositions comprising these compounds and methods of using these compounds as inhibitors of CYP24. In particular, the novel compound of the invention are useful for treating diseases which benefit from a modulation of the levels of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3, for example, cell-proliferative disorders.

Abstract: A process for producing a compound of the formula: including reacting of a compound of the formula: with diphenyl phosphine oxide using a binary phase reaction mixture including diphenyl phosphine oxide in an organic solvent, a basic aqueous solution, and a phase transfer catalyst, to obtain the compound of formula 1, wherein Ph is phenyl, X1 and X2 are both hydrogen or X1 and X2 taken together are CH2, R1 is a protecting group, R2 is fluorine, hydrogen, or OR3, wherein R3 is a protecting group, and the squiggly line represents a bond that results in the adjacent double bond being in either the E or Z configuration, is disclosed.
