  • Patent number: 9681647
    Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods that involve cancer cells which are modified so that they can form orthotopic tumors in a non-human mammal, and wherein metastasis of the tumor can be controlled. The cancer cells, which may be human cancer cells, are modified so that expression of a human chemokine receptor can be modulated. Modulating expression of the human chemokine receptor allows selective initiation of metastasis. Kits which contain the modified cancer cells are provided. A method for identifying agents which can inhibit metastasis using non-human mammals having orthotopic tumors formed using the modified cancer cells is also included.

Expression of apyrases APY1 and APY2, in guard cell protoplasts is strongly correlated with cell growth, cell secretory activity and with conditions that favor stomatal opening. Both short-term inhibition of ectoapyrase activity and long-term suppression of APY1 and APY2 transcript levels significantly disrupt normal stomatal behavior in light. Furthermore, two punnoceptor inhibitors in mammals, pyridoxalphosphate-6-azo-phenyl-2?,4?-disulphonic acid (PPADS) and Reactive Blue 2, block ATPS- and ADP?S-induced opening and closing, and also partially block the ability of abscisic acid (ABA) to induce stomatal closure, and light-induced stomatal opening.

  • Publication number: 20120142917
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is the use of HLM-008182, as well as its analogues formed via in-house synthesis, as a potent proteasome inhibitors. A new method was developed for HLM-008182 through a four-step protocol and the method was further optimized to a two step protocol. The synthesis in both protocols was regioselective with TiCl4. The reaction was highly efficient with microwave assisted heating and THF as solvent. The modification around the molecule HLM-008182 established primary SAR, indicating that the proteasome inhibition activity was a function of the 2-side chain.

  • Patent number: 8003823
    Abstract: Aromatic N-halosulfonamide organic compounds have been known for over one hundred years. The ability of these compounds to release active halogen ions has been utilized in a range of biocidal and fungicidal applications. The most widely used halogen sulfonamide organic compound for these applications is Chloramine-T. This invention deals with the new use of discovered compositions of matter, halo active aromatic sulfonamide organic compounds and use of solutions of these compounds as, odor control agents. The odor control solutions may be buffered to a predetermined pH. The odor control compositions may further incorporate small percentages of low molecular weight alcohols and wetting agents.
