Abstract:
Novel gyrase inhibitors and related compositions and methods are useful for impeding bacterial growth. Compounds of Formula (I), are disclosed: Formula (I), wherein Y is N or CH; Z is N or CR5; R5 is H, a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl residue (1-3C) containing 0-2 heteroatoms selected from O, S and N, or is an inorganic residue; L is O, S, NR7, or CR8R9; R7 is H or C1-3 alkyl; R8 and R9 are each independently H or C1-3 alkyl; R2 is H, a hydrocarbyl residue (1-40C) containing 0-10 heteroatoms selected from O, S and N optionally substituted with an inorganic residue; R4 is H, an inorganic residue, or a hydrocarbyl residue (1-30C) containing 0-12 heteroatoms selected from O, S and N and containing 0-10 inorganic residues, wherein R5 and R4 together may join to form a fused ring; and R6 is selected from the group consisting of H, C1-5 alkyl, C2-5 alkenyl, C2-5 alkynyl, halo C1-5 alkyl, halo C2-5 alkenyl, halo C2-5 alkynyl, C1-5 hydroxyalkyl, C1-5 alkyl chloride, C2-5 alkenyl chloride, and C2-5 alkynyl chloride; or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt, ester, or prodrug thereof.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for inflicting brain injury on a laboratory animal that employs a platform for supporting the laboratory animal. The platform defines an opening for positioning the head of the laboratory animal over the opening. A projectile is launched from a projectile launching device orientated below the opening of the platform. The projectile launching device has a means for propelling the projectile directly at and/or through the opening of said platform, thereby inflicting brain injury on the animal via either a pressure wave or concussive impact of the projectile. Without helmet, direct impact of the projectile results in severe traumatic brain injury. Use of helmet protects animals from skull fracture, subdural hematoma, intracerebral hemorrhage and contusion yet produces mild concussion-like pathology.
Abstract:
A system includes a cooler configured to cool a first gas portion of a compressed gas fuel and discharge a cooled fluid. The cooled fluid comprises a cooled gas portion and a cooled liquid portion. The system also includes a separator configured to separate the cooled fluid into the cooled gas portion and the cooled liquid portion and a mixing tank configured to mix a second gas portion of the compressed gas fuel with the cooled gas portion in direct contact with one another to produce a superheated gas fuel. The superheated gas fuel comprises a degree of superheat above a lower threshold for a combustion system.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are compounds having the structure of Formula I and pharmaceutically suitable salts, esters, and prodrugs thereof that are useful as antibacterially effective tricyclic gyrase inhibitors.Related pharmaceutical compositions, uses and methods of making the compounds are also contemplated.
