Abstract:
Compounds of the formula 1 wherein, R is hydrogen, alkyl or substituted alkyl, aryl or substituted aryl, are useful intermediates in the synthesis of fragrance ingredients such as Ambrox 2
Abstract:
The invention features all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-related compounds capable of associating with Pin1 and methods of identifying the same. The invention also provides methods of treating a condition selected from the group consisting of a proliferative disorder, an autoimmune disease, and an addiction condition characterized by elevated Pin1 marker levels, Pin1 degradation, and/or reduced Pin1 Ser71 phosphorylation in a subject by administering a retinoic acid compound. Additionally, the invention features methods of treating proliferative disorders, autoimmune diseases, and addiction conditions (e.g., diseases, disorders, and conditions characterized by elevated Pin1 marker levels) by administering a retinoic acid compound in combination with another therapeutic compound. The invention also features a co-crystal including Pin1 and a retinoic acid compound. Finally, the invention also provides methods of developing and identifying enhanced Pin1-targeted ATRA-related compounds based on the newly defined unique binding pockets in the Pin1 active site revealed from the co-crystal structure, structure-activity relationship, and structural modeling.

Abstract:
A polymer comprising recurring units derived from a (meth)acrylate monomer of tertiary ester type having branched alkyl on alicycle is used to form a resist composition. When subjected to exposure, PEB and organic solvent development, the resist composition is improved in dissolution contrast.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to amphiphilic compounds containing a cyclobutene or cyclobutane moiety. In some embodiments, the compounds are useful for treating infection by Mycobacterium such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Cyclobutene containing compounds are also useful as monomers in the preparation of amphiphilic polymers.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to compounds, intermediates and methods for making valerenic acid and its derivatives as well as the use of such compounds as GABAA receptor ligands.

Abstract:
This invention relates to a novel process for the dual production of essential oil and artemisinin from the plant Artemisia annua, said process comprising extracting the plant with hexane, partitioning the hexane extract between hexane and acetonitrile, hydrodistillation of hexane residue and Marc to yield essential oil, further fractionation of acetonitrile solvent between hexane-benzene mixture to remove artemisinic acid, chromatographing of the acetonitrile phase to produce substantially pure artemisinin, the artemisinic acid is reduced to obtain dihydro artemisinic acid which is then oxidised in a single step to form artemisinin.
Abstract:
Described are allyl esters of 2-norbornane acrylic acids and 2-norbornylidene propionic acids defined according to the generic structure: ##STR1## wherein the wavy line represents a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond; wherein one of the dashed lines is carbon-carbon single bond and the other of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon double bond; and wherein R represents methyl or hydrogen; as well as methods for augmenting or enhancing the aroma of consumable materials including perfumes, colognes and perfumed articles.
