Abstract:
The present invention relates to chalcone and chalcone derivatives and analogs which are useful as angiogenesis inhibitors. The present compounds, which are inexpensive to synthesize, exhibit unexpectedly good activity as angiogenesis inhibitors. The present invention also relates to the use of chalcone and its analogs as antitumor/anticancer agents and to treat a number of conditions or disease states in which angiogenesis is a factor, including angiogenic skin diseases such as psoriasis, acne, rosacea, warts, eczema, hemangiomas, lymphangiogenesis, among numerous others, as well as chronic inflammatory disease such as arthritis.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a phosphonium borate compound represented by Formula (I) (hereinafter, the compound (I)). The invention has objects of providing (A) a novel process whereby the compound is produced safely on an industrial scale, by simple reaction operations and in a high yield; (B) a novel compound that is easily handled; and (C) novel use as catalyst. Formula (I): (R1)(R2)(R3)PH.BAr4 (I) wherein R1, R2, R3 and Ar are as defined in the specification. The process (A) includes reacting a phosphine with a) HCl or b) H2SO4 to produce a) a hydrochloride or b) a sulfate; and reacting the salt with a tetraarylborate compound. The compound (B) has for example a secondary or tertiary alkyl group as R1 and is easily handled in air without special attention. The use (C) is characterized in that the compound (I) is used instead of an unstable phosphine compound of a transition metal complex catalyst for catalyzing C—C bond, C—N bond and C—O bond forming reactions and the compound produces an effect that is equal to that achieved by the transition metal complex catalyst.

Abstract:
The compounds of formula (I): where Ar is an aromatic ring and Ra, Rb, are as defined in the description, are useful in therapy as drugs for the treatment of diseases mediated by infiltrations of neutrophils induced by IL-8, such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative cholitis and for the treatment of damages caused by ischemia and reperfusion.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds starting from a copper compound of an aryl, heteroaryl, alkene or alkine and an aryl, heteroaryl, alkene or alkine compound having a suitable leaving group. The copper compounds can be prepared inter alia by means of transmetalliziation from a Grignard or lithium compound. Cross-coupling of these compounds with e.g. a halogen-substituted aryl compound is carried out by means of an iron or cobalt catalyst using suitable solvents and suitable additives.
