  • Patent number: 9914741
    Abstract: Novel tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds are disclosed herein that may be used as an active ingredient for a pharmaceutical composition, and in particular, for a pharmaceutical composition useful for preventing or treating a disease or condition responsive to modulation of the contractility of the skeletal sarcomere. This may be accomplished, for example, by modulation of the troponin complex of the fast skeletal muscle sarcomere through one or more of fast skeletal myosin, actin, tropomyosin, troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T, and fragments and isoforms thereof. The tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds can thus be used as an agent for preventing or treating 1) neuromuscular disorders, 2) disorders of voluntary muscle, 3) CNS disorders in which muscle weakness, atrophy, and fatigue are prominent symptoms, 4) muscle symptoms stemming from systemic disorders, and 5) dysfunctions of pelvic floor and urethral/anal sphincter muscle.

  • Patent number: 9914744
    Abstract: Carbamatoorganosilanes are produced in exceptionally high yield with a high degree of purity, by reacting an aminoorganosilane with a dialkylcarbonate in the presence of a basic catalyst, wherein a first reaction period proceeds at a temperature in the range of 35-65° C., followed by a later reaction period at a temperature at least 10° C. higher. A low level of catalyst allows its removal by simple exit filtration, without a separate filtration step.
