  • Patent number: 10179784
    Abstract: The present invention disclosed a class of pyrimidine or pyridine compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, stereoisomers, prodrugs and solvates thereof, preparation method therefor and pharmaceutical compositions and pharmaceutical uses thereof. See e.g., Formula I below. The compounds can inhibit the variants of EGFR (Epidermis Growth Factor Receptor) proteinases, and therefore can inhibit the growth of a variety of tumor cells effectively. The compounds can be used to prepare antitumor drugs, used for the treatment, combined therapy or prevention of various different cancers. The compounds can overcome the drug resistance induced by the existing first-generation EGFR inhibitors such as gefitinib, erlotinib and so on. Particularly, the compounds can be used to prepare drugs for treating or preventing diseases, disturbances, disorders or conditions mediated by epidermis growth factor receptor variants (such as L858R activated mutants, Exon19 deletion activated mutants and T790M resistant mutants).

  • Patent number: 10179826
    Abstract: A process is described for introducing a catalyst into a polymerization zone by detecting one or a combination of (i) a change in a concentration of the catalyst in a catalyst feed stream upstream of the polymerization zone, (ii) a change in a concentration of monomer in the polymerization zone, and (iii) a change in a polymer production rate of the polymerization zone, adjusting a first catalyst flow rate of the catalyst in the catalyst feed stream to a second catalyst flow rate based on the one or a combination of (i), (ii), and (iii), and introducing the catalyst into the polymerization zone downstream of a location in the catalyst feed stream where the step of adjusting is performed. A catalyst injection system for carrying out such a process is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10179828
    Abstract: A curable composition and a permanent resist film made using this curable composition are provided. The composition dissolves well in solvents, gives coatings superior in alkali developability, thermal decomposition resistance, light sensitivity, and resolution, and is particularly suitable for the formation of permanent resist films. Specifically, the composition is a curable composition for permanent resist films and contains a phenolic hydroxyl-containing compound (A) that has a molecular structure represented by structural formula (1): (where R1 is hydrogen, alkyl, or aryl, and n is an integer of 2 to 10; R2 is alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, aralkyl, or halogen, and m is an integer of 0 to 4; if m is 2 or more, the plurality of R2s may be the same or different from one another, and may be bonded to either of the two aromatic rings in the naphthylene structure) and a photosensitizer (B1) or curing agent (B2).
