Abstract:
Insect controlling compositions including an N-substituted (6-haloalkylpyridin-3-yl)alkyl sulfoximine compound and one of: (i) an organic acid other than benthiavalicarb; (ii) a dicarboxylic acid or a salt thereof; and (iii) a tricarboxylic acid or a salt thereof, exhibit increased stability.
Abstract:
Methods of producing a sulfilimine compound, such as N -cyano- S -methyl- S -[1-(6-trifluoromethyl-3-pyridinyl)ethyl]sulfilimine or other substituted sulfilimine compound. The method includes combining a sulfide compound, cyanamide, a hypochlorite compound, and a base, and oxidizing the sulfide compound to form the sulfilimine compound. The sulfide compound may include a 2-trifluoromethyl-5-(1-substituted)alkyl-thiopyridine compound. The base may include sodium hydroxide. A buffer, such as a phosphate buffer, may, optionally, be used in the reaction.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compounds having the formula A: (A) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein W, R1, R2 and R5 are as defined in classes and subclasses herein, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, as described generally and in subclasses herein, which compounds are useful as cytotoxic agents towards proliferating and/or quiescent cancer stem cells, and thus are useful, for example, for the treatment of cancer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to alkylsulfide derivatives compounds of formula I as hererunder depicted or the enantiomers or veterinarily acceptable salts thereof which are useful for combating or controlling invertebrate pests, in particular arthropod pests and nematodes. The invention also relates to methods for controlling invertebrate pests by using these compounds and to plant propagation material and to agricultural and veterinary compositions comprising said compounds. wherein U, R1, R2, R3U, X, n and p are defined as in the description.
Abstract:
The invention is concerned with the compounds of formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and esters thereof, wherein R 1 -R 4 are defined in the detailed description and claims. In addition, the present invention relates to methods of manufacturing and using the compounds of formula I as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds. The compounds of formula I are antagonists at the CRTH2 receptor and may be useful in treating diseases and disorders associated with that receptor such as asthma.
