  • Publication number: 20140221655
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for substituting polyaromatic hydrocarbons or polyheterocyclic compounds with perfluoroalkyl groups. The methods can include heating a polyaromatic hydrocarbon substrate or a polyheterocyclic compound substrate in the presence of a perfluoroalkyl iodide, typically in a closed system, wherein the heating is sufficient to bring both the polyaromatic hydrocarbons or polyheterocyclic compound, and the perfluoroalkyl iodide, into the gas phase, thereby allowing the substrate to react with the perfluoroalkyl iodide in the gas phase to form polyaromatic hydrocarbons or polyheterocyclic compounds having one or more perfluoroalkyl substituents. The methods allow for the creation of versatile libraries of novel perfluoroalkyl-containing derivatives that can serve as important building blocks and active components in biomedical, electronic, and materials applications.

  • Publication number: 20140171455
    Abstract: Methods for deterring microglia-mediated neurotoxicity in a human or non-human animal subjects comprising the step of inhibiting or blocking the intermediate-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel Kv1.3 in microglia, such as in subjects how suffer from neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's Disease) or ischemic/anoxic/hypoxic conditions. The inhibition or blocking of the KCa1.3 channels may be accomplished by administering a substance that inhibits Kv1.3 in microglia. Examples of Kv1.3 inhibiting substances include certain 5-phenoxyalkoxypsoralens, such as (4-Phenoxybutoxy)psoralen (PAP-1) as well as certain 4-phenoxybutoxy-substituted heterocyclic compounds.
