    Abstract: Compounds and method of preparation of Si—X and Ge—X compounds (X?N, P, As and Sb) via dehydrogenative coupling between the corresponding unsubstituted silanes and amines (including ammonia) or phosphines catalyzed by metallic catalysts is described. This new approach is based on the catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of a Si—H and a X—H moiety to form a Si—X containing compound and hydrogen gas (X?N, P, As and Sb). The process can be catalyzed by transition metal heterogenous catalysts such as Ru(0) on carbon, Pd(0) on MgO) as well as transition metal organometallic complexes that act as homogeneous catalysts. The —Si—X products produced by dehydrogenative coupling are inherently halogen free. Said compounds can be useful for the deposition of thin films by chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition of Si-containing films.

  • Publication number: 20160215018
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating an ocular surface disease is disclosed, wherein the pharmaceutical composition includes, as an active component, collagen type II ?1 based peptide GQDGLAGPK isolated from chondrocyte-derived extracellular matrix (CDEM). In an alkaline burn animal mode treated with peptide GQDGLAGPK, the occurrence of corneal opacification is reduced as well as the expression of angiogenic factors (e.g., CD31 and VEGF). In addition, the expression of inflammatory markers (e.g., macrophages, TNF?, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and MMP-9) is reduced while the expression of inflammation-inducing factor (e,g,, NF-?B) is suppressed. The peptide GQDGLAGPK according to the present invention may be applied to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating an ocular surface disease (e.g., a corneal disease).

  • Publication number: 20160215019
    Abstract: The invention provides peptides that can reactivate p53 mutants efficiently and specifically, as well as methods that allow the identification, selection and isolation of such peptides, in a precise, cost and time effective manner. In particular, there are provided mutant p53 reactivating peptides that can restore the native wild type p53 folding, and hence the tumor suppressor activity, to the mutant p53 protein. Such peptides are useful for treating various conditions and diseases in which p53 is mutated.
