Abstract:
In this patent we describe the purification of prenylated benzophenones from the fruit rinds of Garcinia species and its evaluation as an inhibitor for Histone acetyltransferases p300 and PCAF. We have found that prenylated benzophenones are potent HAT inhibitors of p300 (IC50-1 μM) and pCAF (IC50-15 μM). The inhibitors significantly repress the p300 HAT dependent transcriptional activation from in vitro assembled chromatin template but had no effect on transcription from DNA. These results suggest that the compounds could be specific to HATs. Thus these compounds should be useful as biological switching molecule for evaluating the role of p300 and PCAF in cellular functions and may be useful as new chemical entities for the development of anticancer drugs.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a new soluble double metal salt of group IA and IIA of (−) hydroxycitric acid of general formula I: where X is IA group metal: Li or Na or K or Rb or Cs or Fr where Y is IIA group metal: Be or Mg or Ca or Sr or Ba or Ra where the concentration of X in the salt varies from 1.5-51.0%, the concentration of Y in the salts varies from 2.0-50.9%, the concentration of HCA in the salt varies from 31.0-93.0% depending on the nature of X and Y. This invention more particularly relates to new soluble double metal salt of group IA and IIA of (−) hydroxycitric acid of general formula II. This invention also includes a process of preparing the soluble double metal salt of group IA and IIA of (−) hydroxycitric acid of general formula I comprising: preparing (−) hydroxycitric acid liquid concentrate/solid lactone of hyroxycitric acid from Garcinia extract, neutralizing the free (−) hydroxycitric acid present in the said (−) hydroxycitric acid liquid concentrate/solid lactone (−) hydroxycitric acid with group IA metal hydroxides, displacing partially the group IA metal ions in the above salt solutions by adding group IIA metal chlorides to form soluble double metal salt of group IA and IIA of (−) hydroxycitric acid, precipitating the said double metal salt of group IA & IIA of (−) hydroxycitric acid by adding aqueous polar solvent to get soluble IIA metal salt of (−) hydroxycitric acid or obtaining the soluble double metal salt as powder by spray drying prior to the solvent addition or spray drying water solubilized solvent precipitated material. The instant invention also discloses the use of the said soluble double metal salt of group IA and IIA of (−) hydroxycitric acid of formula I and particularly formula II in beverages and other food products and its use in beverages and other food products.
Abstract:
This invention relates to thin (g-Ge.sub.x -Se.sub.1--x) positive ionresists and thin (g-Ge.sub.x -Se.sub.1--x) with absorbed or chemically bonded silver as a negative ionresist, which when exposed to H.sup.+ ion beams and subsequently developed, for example by alkaline solutions, have a useful differential dissolution rate, when comparing exposed and unexposed areas, with excellent resolution. The ionresist materials and processes of the invention are useful, for example, in forming solid-state electronic articles.

Abstract:
Reduction of gate-induced-drain-leakage in metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices is achieved by performing an anneal in a non-oxidizing ambient. In one embodiment, the anneal is performed in a argon and/or ammonia ambients after gate sidewall oxidation that forms the spacers.
Abstract:
Under the present invention, a layer of amorphous silicon is formed over a layer of gate dielectric. Over the layer of amorphous silicon, a gate cap dielectric is formed. The layer of amorphous silicon is then confined by at least one spacer, which is deposited under a low temperature process. Once the at least one spacer is in place, the amorphous silicon is exposed to a temperature sufficiently high to convert the amorphous silicon to polysilicon. By waiting until the amorphous silicon is confined within the at least one spacer before converting it to polysilicon, the variation in gate length is reduced
