Abstract:
The subject invention provides novel polynucleotides and polypeptides encoding a methyltransferase. The subject invention provides novel plants that express the methyltrasferase disclosed herein and are resistant to auxin-based herbicides. The subject invention also provides transgenic plants that have been transformed with one or more other herbicide resistance genes such that the plants are resistant to the application of auxin-based herbicides and one or more other herbicides.
Abstract:
Compounds according to formula (I) are disclosed, (I), where Q is S, N, or O; X is optional, and can be O=, S=, =N-NH2, =N-OH, or -OH; Y is optional and can be -N(H)-, O, or C1 to C20 hydrocarbon; and R1 and R2 are each independently substituted or unsubstituted single-, fused- or multiple-ring aryl or (hetero)cyclic ring systems. Methods of making these compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds, and their use, particularly for treating or preventing cancer, are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compounds of the formula (I): wherein R1, R2, V, W, X, Y and Z can be as defined herein. The compounds can be used in the treatment of disorders mediated by the cannabinoid receptors.
Abstract:
Compounds of Formula (I): R1-O-(CF2-O)n-R1, wherein: n is an integer from 2 to 100; and R1 is perfluorinated alkyl or substituted perfluorinated alkyl are described. Also described are methods of preparing the compounds of Formula (I). For example, compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared by providing a poly(oxymethylene) compound and fluohnating the poly(oxymethylene) compound, for instance, via direct aerosol fluorination.
Abstract:
Provided are methods for inhibiting undesirable proliferation of a tumor cell or a tumor in a subject including administering to the subject a composition that includes an effective amount of an active agent, wherein the active agent is entrapped by one or more liposomes, the active agent has activity in inhibiting undesirable proliferation of the tumor cell or the tumor, and the one or more liposomes include one or more targeting agents that preferentially or specifically bind to a binding molecule expressed by the tumor cell or the tumor, present on the tumor cell or the tumor, present in the tumor cell or the tumor, or combinations thereof. Also provided are compositions for treating tumors, particularly gliomas, in a subject in need thereof.
