摘要:
The present invention provides new ceramide analogs indicated as the compounds of formula (II). These novel analogs exhibit a significant anti cancerous effect and are therefore provided as a pharmaceutical composition for treating cell proliferative diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, metabolism-associated conditions, infectious diseases, and immune-related disorders. The invention further provides combined compositions and kits combining the novel ceramide analogs of formula (II) with an additional therapeutic agent.

摘要:
The invention provides a composition for enhancing the biodegradation of biodegradable organic wastes comprising a combination of organic-waste consuming microorganisms and liposomes wherein the liposomes supply essential nutrients for bacterial growth while concomitantly increasing the polarity and wettability of the waste, thereby increasing their availability for enhanced bacterial interaction therewith and methods for the use thereof.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for cleaning industrial and domestic surfaces and articles, as herein defined, which are contaminated with organic or lipophilic wastes, comprising applying liposomes thereto, which liposomes modify the physical properties of said wastes to increase the polarity and wettability thereof.
摘要:
The invention provides a moist, absorbent material for cleaning articles and surfaces, wherein the material is moistened with an aqueous solution containing liposomes having vesicles of a diameter of up to about 100 nm.

摘要:
The invention provides a method for treating oil spills on water comprising applying liposomes to a body of water to form a monomolecular layer of phospholipid molecules on the water surface which phosopholipid molecules break up a continuous layer of oil into oil droplets each of which is surrounded by a monomolecular layer of phospholipids.
摘要:
The extent of binding of a moiety, such as a biomolecule, to a surface, where the local environment at the surface has a pH or surface potential which is altered upon binding of the moiety, is determined by stably incorporating at the surface a probe which contains a pH- or potential-sensitive fluorophore.
摘要:
Therapeutic compounds based on synthetic sphingolipid analogs are provided, particularly alkylthiophenyl substituted ceramide analogs, suitable for treating degenerative, infectious, and other diseases.
摘要:
The invention relates to compounds of the general formula (I), as defined, and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The compounds of formula (I) are inhibitors of various lipid-related enzymes. They can be used in reducing accumulation of sphingolipids and thus in the treatment of lipid storage diseases. The compounds of formula (I) can also be used for the treatment of cancerous diseases and for killing of wild type and drug-resistant cancer cells.
