摘要:
Compositions and methods for administering a therapeutic agent to a mammal are disclosed. The compositions comprise either (i) vesicles comprising an amphiphilic substituted fullerene, wherein the therapeutic agent is present in the vesicle interior or between layers of the vesicle wall, (ii) a substituted fullerene, comprising a fullerene core and a functional moiety, wherein the therapeutic agent is associated with the substituted fullerene, or (iii) carbon nanotubes, wherein the therapeutic agent is covalently bonded to the carbon nanotubes.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method for the preparation of (25R)-26-aminocholesterol, a potent inhibitor of cholesterol biosynthesis, from (25R)-16-oxo-26-phthalimidocholesterol.
摘要:
A front wheel shock absorbing system for a bicycle wherein the legs of the front wheel fork includes struts slidable in tubes. The struts are attached at one end to the wheel axle. The tubes slide over the struts and are fixedly secured to the forks steering tube through a triple clamp. A rim type braking mechanism is secured to the struts by a bypass attachment mechanism, preferably by the provision of a slot through the tube to permit a fastener to extend through the tube and onto the strut. The slot permits reciprocation of the strut relative to the tube. Compressible bumpers in the tube are compressed by the strut and tube interacting to provide the shock absorbing effect.
摘要:
Described herein are methods for treating inflammatory disorders. The methods comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a synthetically modified fullerene.
摘要:
Described herein are steroid derivatives of fullerene moieties, for example fullerene derivatives in which cholesterol, or a cholesterol moiety, is attached via ester, amide, or ether bonds to one of a variety of “linkers,” e.g., chemical groups including alkyl chains and aromatic groups, which are then connected to the fullerene moiety. The steroid moiety can confers useful solubility in components of biological fluids and/or pharmacologically acceptable carriers and can also affect the biodistribution of the fullerenes which makes the derivatives useful in imaging, diagnosis and the treatment or management of disease or complications of disease states.
摘要:
Described herein are pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising fullerene molecules dispersed in vesicles comprising phosphatidylcholine (PC) phospholipid molecules and non-PC phospholipid molecules suspended in aqueous solution. In preferred embodiments, the phospholipid molecules are substantially uniformly organized into vesicles composed of one or more lipid bilayers and the fullerene molecules are substantially uniformly distributed within the lipid bilayers of the vesicles. Methods of forming these fullerene containing liposomes are also described. Such fullerene containing liposomes provide carriers for delivery of fullerenes for cosmetic, therapeutic, and imaging applications among other uses.
摘要:
The invention is directed to multiply-substituted fullerene derivatives of novel configurations, and methods for their preparation and use. The methods involve the combinatorial synthesis of a library of fullerene derivatives and comprises the steps of forming a mixture of fullerene derivatives by reacting the Cn fullerene with two or more reactive precursor compounds, and removing the unreacted compounds to yield the fullerene derivatives having the desired activity. Methods for the identification and screening of a combinatorial library of fullerenes by 3He-nuclear magnetic resonance and electrospray mass spectrometry to define members with the optimal desired activity are also provided.
摘要:
A front wheel shock absorbing system for a bicycle wherein the legs of the front wheel fork include struts slidable in tubes. A cross brace bridges the front wheel and interconnects the struts to insure parallel movement of the struts. Elastomer pads between the tube ends and struts provide spring action. A cap in the tube ends provides access to the pads. A strut protruded from the cap down through a center bore in the pads maintains the pads in alignment. The strut end is flanged and removal of the cap, withdraws the strut and pads which are held onto the strut by the flange end. The flange is configured to permit the elastomer pads to be forced over the flange for replacement of the pads.
