Title: Extraction and purification method of active constituents from stem of lonicera japonica thunb., its usage for anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug

Applicant/Assignee: SK CHEMICALS CO., LTD

Application No.: 10/527139   Filing Date: 08/Mar/2005

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method for extracting and purifying active constituents from honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica Thunb.) and its use. More particularly, this invention relates to an extraction and purification method of active constituents including sweroside from for honeysuckle stem (stem of honeysuckle where leaves are removed) by removing tannins, hardly soluble flavonoids, saponins, and the like. Thus obtained active constituents have better anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, are safer and more stable than the conventional active constituents obtained from honeysuckle flower or honeysuckle leaves, and include sweroside which is an effective active ingredient of anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug.

Anhydrous cosmetic antiperspirant stick compositions containing a continuous phase of a water-immiscible cosmetic oil structured by a fibre-forming amido structurant can exhibit undesirable sensory properties when 12-hydroxy-stearic acid is employed as primary gellant and the preparation of sick compositions suffers from sever processing difficulties when certain of such amido structurants are employed as primary gellant.

Stick compositions having desirable sensory properties can be made by employing as primary gellant, a combination of amido structurants comprising (i) an N-acylaminoacid amide in which the N-acyl substituent has the formula -CO-Rin which Rrepresents a branched C6 to C11 alkyl group and (ii) an N-acylaminoacid amide in which the N-acyl substituent contains a linear alkyl group and the cosmetic carrier oil comprising from 25 to 50% by weight of a water-immiscible monohydric alcohol that is liquid at 20 DEG C. and a boiling point of higher than 100 DEG C.

Abstract:

A method is disclosed for application of compositions onto non-woven webs, such as paper webs. The present invention is also directed to products made from the process. In general, the method includes applying a composition to a non-woven web using a non-impact printer, such as an ink jet printer. The composition is applied, in one embodiment, as droplets that remain as discrete shapes on the substrate. In this manner, treated areas and untreated areas are formed on the web. Through this process, the water absorption and control properties of the web can be adjusted as desired while simultaneously treating the web with a composition that improves the physical and/or chemical properties of the web.

Title: Controlled enzymatic removal and retrieval of cells

Applicant/Assignee: RAMOT AT TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY LTD

Application No.: 10/768749   Filing Date: 27/Jan/2004

Abstract:

Method and device, including a uniquely operative applicator, and pharmaceutical compositions, for the controlled, non-surgical removal and retrieval of cells from a variety of skin lesions and tissue surfaces are disclosed. A synergistic effect of proteolytic digestion of the intracellular matrix and "stripping" flow is achieved by treating a defined area with a controlled, continuous stream of proteolytic enzyme solution, causing gentle but effective tissue erosion. Isolated cells from the skin lesion and/or tissue surface may be collected from the protease solution stream for histological analysis and/or cell culture, affording a method of "enzymatic biopsy".

The protease solution may be supplemented with anesthetics, coagulants, anticoagulants and antibiotics to decrease the discomfort, erythema, bleeding, risk of infection and scarring traditionally associated with surgical treatment of skin lesions. Delivery of precise levels of catalytic activity is ensured by controlled activation of stable, inactivated enzyme stock solutions and powders shortly prior to application.

Title: Fragrance delivery system for surface cleaners and conditioners

Applicant/Assignee: FIRMENICH SA

Application No.: 11/408179   Filing Date: 21/Apr/2006

Abstract:

We claim a fragrance delivery system consisting of a mixture of various polymers oligomers and stabilizers capable of forming a surfactant complex gel dispersion when combined with a cleansing surfactant base and yielding high levels of fragrance deposition onto the skin, hair or other surface such as a textile, from a cleansing or softening consumer product comprising a micelle forming surfactant. The internal phase or dispersible phase of this surfactant complex gel dispersion (GLPPD) is made of a mixture of various immiscible polymers, oligomers and stabilizers forming a complex gel with the surfactant platform and whose ratio and composition are selected to dissolve preferentially a wide range of fragrance raw materials.

The selection criteria are, first, that the fragrance should present a higher fragrance partitioning ratio into the surfactant complex gel phase than into the free micelles of the surfactant, second, that the surfactant complex gel should not be further solubilized by the free micelles, and third, that the polymer mixture selected should complex with the surfactant system. The external or dispersing phase of the GLPPD is made of a single cationic polymer or a mixture of cationic polymers that have been hydrated and associated with the surfactant to form a complex gel structure that cannot be further solubilized by the free micelles.

Title: Methods for treating cancer using interferon-omega-expressing polynucleotides

Applicant/Assignee: VICAL INCORPORATED

Application No.: 11/709868   Filing Date: 23/Feb/2007

Abstract:

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition, comprising a non-infectious, non-integrating polynucleotide construct comprising a polynucleotide encoding an interferon omega and one or more cationic compounds. The present invention also provides methods of treating cancer in a mammal, comprising administering into a tissue of the mammal a non-infectious, non-integrating polynucleotide construct comprising a polynucleotide encoding a cytokine. In addition, the present invention also relates to the methodology for selective transfection of malignant cells with polynucleotides expressing therapeutic or prophylactic molecules in intra-cavity tumor bearing mammals. More specifically, the present invention provides a methodology for the suppression of an intra-cavity dissemination of malignant cells, such as intraperitoneal dissemination.

Furthermore, the invention relates to compositions and methods to deliver polynucleotides encoding polypeptides to vertebrate cells in vivo, where the composition comprises an aqueous solution of sodium phosphate.
