  • Patent number: 8653266
    Abstract: A novel process for the preparation of Etravirine comprises the condensing of ethyl cyanoacetate with N-cyanophenylguanidine to obtain an —OH compound of formula (II), which is further converted to a leaving group of formula (III). The compound of formula (III) is optionally protected and brominated to yield compound of formula (IV). The condensation of formula (IV) with 3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxybenzonitrile yields a compound of formula (VI), and an optional deprotection of the compound of formula (VI) results in Etravirine.

    Abstract: Prodrugs comprising a lipophilic drug linked to a transport moiety that can be taken up by a fatty acid transporter are provided. The transport moiety comprises a lipid chain connected to a hydrophilic group (e.g. a carboxylic acid, a phosphate, or a sphingosine-like moiety). Due to the presence of the transport moiety, the prodrugs are substrates for endogenous fatty acid transporter systems. The transport moiety thus serves as a carrier or targeting moiety to facilitate uptake of the entire prodrug complex by endogenous fatty acid transporter systems, thereby moving the prodrug into cells and tissues where drug distribution and effects are desired. Hydrolysis of the chemical linkage between the lipid-like moiety and the lipophilic drug releases the drug in an active form within the cells or tissues.

  • Patent number: 8512820
    Abstract: Ionic mesogenic compounds of formula (I) can be used to form liquid crystal displays, such as ferroelectric liquid crystal displays, having enhanced anti-image sticking properties. The mesogenic compounds may contain a cationic group such as an ammonium or phosphonium group bonded to an alkyl chain that is terminally bonded to a para-substituted pyrimidyl benzene moiety. The counterion can be an organic or inorganic anion. The compounds can be used either as dopants in art ferroelectric liquid crystal compositions to reduce image sticking, or can be used as the primary or predominant component of a liquid crystal display system. Additional compounds, devices, and methods are disclosed.
