    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pigment composition composed of compounds of the formula (I), (II) and (III) with a novel crystal modification, to their preparation and to the use of this novel product as a pigment. For many applications of organic pigments, for example the coloring of metallic lacquers or the use thereof in color filters, a very high transparency is required. To produce color filters, for example, particularly fine pigments are used, in order to substantially rule out the particle scattering which leads to a lowering of the contrast ratio. The commercially available products, however, do not always meet all requirements of the art. More particularly, there was a need for improvement with regard to the transparency and the associated fineness of the pigment crystals, and also the color purity (chroma).

  • Publication number: 20100009214
    Abstract: An ?-diketopyrrolopyrrole pigment characterized by giving an X-ray diffraction spectrum in which the ratio of the peak density (I020) for plane index (020) to the peak intensity (I?141) for plane index (?141), I020/I?141 is 0.40 or lower and the ratio of the peak intensity (I?141) for plane index (?141) to the peak intensity (I111) for plane index (111), I?141/I111 is 1.28 or lower. Also provided are: a coloring composition containing this pigment; and a red film formed with this coloring composition. In a color filter formed with ?-diketopyrrolopyrrole pigment, which has that property, the red filter segments have a high contrast ratio and a small absolute value of birefringence. Consequently, a color liquid-crystal display or the like having small viewing-angle dependence and showing excellent display characteristics can be produced.

  • Publication number: 20090318529
    Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery that certain fermentation products of the marine actinomycete strains CNB392 and CNB476 are effective inhibitors of hyperproliferative mammalian cells. The CNB392 and CNB476 strains lie within the family Micromonosporaceae, and the generic epithet Salinospora has been proposed for this obligate marine group. The reaction products produced by this strain are classified as salinosporamides, and are particularly advantageous in treating neoplastic disorders due to their low molecular weight, low IC50 values, high pharmaceutical potency, and selectivity for cancer cells over fungi.
