Abstract:
Compounds of the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein D represents a 5-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring containing 1 to 4 heteroatoms selected from O, N or S, optionally substituted at a carbon atom by halogen, trifluoromethyl, alkyl C1 to 6, nitro, cyano, and which is connected to the remainder of the compound of formula (I) through a carbon atom; A represents (N(X) or CH(--(CH.sub.2).sub.m --NXY); U represents NH, O or CH.sub.2 ; V represents (CH.sub.2).sub.b ; a, b,m, X and Y are as defined in the specification, together with processes for their preparation and compositions containing them. Compounds of formula (I) are nitric oxide synthetase inhibitors and are useful in therapy.
Abstract:
A lithographic printing plate precursor comprises an imageable layer comprising a free radically polymerizable component, an initiator composition capable of generating free radicals upon exposure to imaging infrared radiation, an infrared radiation absorbing dye that is defined by Structure (I) shown in the disclosure, which dyes comprise one or more ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable groups in an organic group that is attached to the methine chain. These infrared radiation absorbing dyes exhibit a reduced tendency to crystallize in the imageable layers in the presence of tetraaryl borate counter anions and therefore provide improved shelf life.
