ABSTRACT Potent non-steroidal farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists are N-aryl-N-arylmethyl amido and ureido compounds having the chemical structure represented by the following formula (I): INSERT FORMULA wherein E1 is (C1-C8)alkyl, cyclohexyl, 2-furyl, 3-furyl, 2-thienyl, 3-thienyl, phenyl, or NH(C1-C8)alkyl; L1 and L2 are both H, or together form a pi-bond; X1 is C(O), or CH2; Y1 is H, NHZ1, NH(Z2)Z3, or OZ4; aryl moiety A1 is selected from the group of radicals consisting of: INSERT FORMULA A2 and G1 - G11 are as defined in the specification; and T1 and T2 are each independently O, S, NH, or N(C1-C8)alkyl. The FXR agonists are useful as therapeutic agents for the treatment of diseases linked to cholesterol, bile acids, and their metabolism and homeostasis.
Abstract:
A beverage dispensing system using a sweetener. The beverage dispensing system may include a dispensing nozzle, a sweetener source with the sweetener at more than about 65° brix, a first diluent source with a first diluent, a mixing chamber in communication with the sweetener source and the first diluent source so as to dilute the sweetener to less than about 65° brix, and a second diluent source with a second diluent so as to dilute further the sweetener upstream of the dispensing nozzle.

Abstract:
A production contest management system enables management of workflow and scoring of projects, for example in a production contest environment. A project is divided into "phases." Project managers can specify project phases, and for each phase, required timing and deliverables. For phases that involve a review (e.g., screening, review board, peer review), scorecards used to perform the review may be specified. The scorecards are made accessible electronically to one or more reviewers. The scorecards may be available on-line, or may be downloaded, completed, and then uploaded. Once received, scorecards are tallied. In this way, the management system helps coordinate production of a product that is produced using production competitions. The system allows for simultaneous management of multiple projects and production teams.
Abstract:
A system and method for automatically loading a pre-selected value onto a fare card allows a patron to enter or leave a transit system gate without having to add a fare value at a vending machine. The automatic loading provides added convenience and security for the patron. The vehicle for the automatically-loaded value is either a credit card that is pre-authorized for use by the patron, or the patron’s available benefits. The automatic loading process may be utilized to autoload values of benefits only, or to load values from a combination of benefits and credit card transactions. The pre-selected autoload value is loaded onto the fare card at the gate before confirmation that the credit card transaction is authorized. The gate sends a message to a transit central computer that an autoload has occurred. The central computer determines whether benefits are available to fill the request, and forward a request for the difference to a credit processing company.
Abstract:
The efficient regulation of cholesterol synthesis, metabolism, acquisition, and transport is an essential component of lipid homeostasis. The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a transcriptional sensor for bile acids, the primary product of cholesterol metabolism. Accordingly, the development of potent, selective, small molecule agonists, partial agonists, and antagonists of FXR would be an important step in further deconvoluting FXR physiology. In accordance with the present invention, the identification of novel potent FXR activators is described. Two derivatives of invention compounds, bearing stilbene or biaryl moieties, contain members that are the most potent FXR agonists reported to date in cell-based assays. These compounds are useful as chemical tools to further define the physiological role of FXR as well as therapeutic leads for the treatment of diseases linked to cholesterol, bile acids and their metabolism and homeostasis.
