  • Patent number: 7247735
    Abstract: In the case of the materials according to the invention, the charge carrier mobility in the correspondingly prepared films is achieved if the molecules are composed in such a way that side chains—consisting of conjugated aromatic or heteroaromatic systems—are attached in direct conjugation to a central aromatic or heteroaromatic ring so that the total molecule acquires an octupolar structure. This octupolar structure permits an effective ?-? interaction of the molecules with one another in a manner such that stacking of a plurality of molecules along an imaginary axis (central ring) can take place and various stacks from among these stacks can interact with one another by intermeshing of the side chains. The electronic properties of the materials are determined both by the arrangement of the molecules in a layer and by the molecular design.

  • Patent number: 7183419
    Abstract: A process for the production of 3,4-dioxythiophene compounds represented by the following formula (I), is described. In formula (I) A, B, C and D in each case independently denote a bond, optionally substituted alkylene, optionally substituted cycloalkylene, optionally substituted arylene or (O—(CR1R2)m)x, where R1 and R2 in each case mutually independently denote hydrogen or optionally substituted alkyl, m denotes an integer from 1 to 10 and x denotes an integer from 1 to 10, provided that at least one of the units A, B, C or D does not denote a bond. The process involves reacting a 3,4-dihydroxythiophene or the alkali metal salt thereof with the following compound, TosO-A-B-C-D-OTos, thus forming an intermediate 3,4-dioxythiophene diester. The intermediate 3,4-dioxythiophene diester is saponified, thus forming an intermediate 3,4-dioxythiophene dicarboxylic acid, which is then decarboxylated, thereby forming the 3,4-dioxythiophene compound represented by formula-(I).

  • Patent number: 7091238
    Abstract: The invention discloses a compound having the formula (I) wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, unsubstituted phenyl, and substituted phenyl; R2 is selected from the group consisting of H, alkene, un-substituted phenol, and substituted phenyl; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, having digitalis-like properties. The invention further discloses a novel method to synthesize 3,4-methylenedioxybenzoyl-2-thienylhydrazone (LASSBio-294). LASSBio-294 produces positive inotropic effect on cardiac and skeletal muscle. The invention is useful for the treatment of congestive heart failure and muscle fatigue. It lacks toxic effects seen in digitalis glycosides.

  • Patent number: 7078431
    Abstract: It has been discovered certain 1,3-bis-(substituted-phenyl)-2-propen-1-ones, including compounds of formula (I) inhibit the expression of VCAM-1, and thus can be used to treat a patient with a disorder mediated by VCAM-1. Examples of inflammatory disorders that are mediated by VCAM-1 include, but are not limited to arthritis, asthma, dermatitis, cystic fibrosis, post transplantation late and chronic solid organ rejection, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosis, inflammatory bowel diseases, autoimmune diabetes, diabetic retinopathy, rhinitis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, post-angioplasty restenosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), glomerulonephritis, Graves disease, gastrointestinal allergies, conjunctivitis, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, angina and small artery disease.
