Title: A novel plant promoter and uses therefor
Inventor: BOTELLA MESA JOSE RAMON
IPC: C12N9/88
Filed: 1999-08-31
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a novel plant promoter. More particularly, the present invention provides a plant promoter capable of induction by physical and/or environmental stimuli in cells in which the promoter is indigenous and, in the absence of any negative regulatory mechanism, is capable of constitutive expression in cells in which the promoter is non-indigenous. The present invention is further directed to derivatives of the subject promoter including modular forms of the promoter which are, for example, inducible by different physical and environmental stimuli or which are constitutively expressed. The promoter of the present invention has a range of uses including directing expression of genes conferring useful traits on plants.

Title: Covulcanisable anti-ageing agents
Inventor: LAUE CHRISTIAN
IPC: C07C323/25
Filed: 2001-05-08
Abstract: This invention relates to covulcanisable anti-ageing agents which can be produced by the reaction of p-phenylenediamines, which are optionally substituted, and/or of sterically hindered phenols, with bifunctional alkyl, aryl and/or aralkyl compounds and by subsequent reaction of the products thus obtained with sulphur and/or sulphur donor compounds.

Patent CA-2377605-A1 (CA)
Title: Stable benzimidazole formulation
Inventor: LAHAV RAFFAEL
IPC: A61K9/50
Filed: 2000-06-21
Abstract: A stable composition with a benzimidazole derivative, such as Omeprazole, which does not contain a separating layer between the active compound and an enteric coating layer. Instead, the enteric coating layer is applied as a solution with a pH value of at least 6.5, and more preferably in a range of from about 7 to about 10, directly to the benzimidazole derivative substrate. This solution, with the optional addition of a plasticizer, can be directly coated onto the substrate without any necessity for an intermediate layer. Furthermore, in this pH range, the enteric coating is optionally applicable in an aqueous solution, thereby obviating the need for organic solvents for dissolving the enteric coating material. The resultant formulation maintains the stability of the benzimidazole derivative during storage and at the same time protects the product during passage through the acidic environment of the stomach.  The problem of interaction between the enteric coat and the alkaline core is thus completely eliminated as the enteric coat at this stage is no longer acidic.
