Abstract: A golf bag includes a putter storage compartment which is separate from a main golf club storage compartment and is disposed in an elongated pocket which is normally provided on golf bags and is commonly referred to as a clothing pocket. A partition within the clothing pocket separates the putter storage compartment from the remaining storage area of the clothing pocket. A top fitting having an axial bore is provided in the top panel of the clothing pocket above the putter storage compartment to allow the putter shaft to be inserted and removed from the putter storage compartment. The lower end of the putter storage compartment has an opening formed therein and a baffle is provided which partially restricts that opening to keep the grip end of the putter shaft from falling through the opening. The baffle also serves as a drain for water which may enter the putter storage compartment through the open top thereof. In one embodiment, an elongated tube contains the putter shaft and extends from the top fitting to the bottom opening in the putter storage compartment.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des compositions et des procédés convenant pour l'administration in vivo d'agents pharmacologiquement actifs essentiellement insolubles dans l'eau (tels que le médicament anticancéreux paclitaxel) dans lesquels un agent actif au plan pharmacologique est administré sous forme de particules en suspension enrobées d'une protéine (laquelle agit comme agent stabilisateur). En particulier, la protéine et l'agent pharmacologiquement actif présents dans un support dispersant biocompatible sont soumis à un cisaillement élevé en l'absence de tout tensioactif classique et en l'absence de matériau noyau polymère pour les particules. Le procédé selon l'invention permet d'obtenir des particules d'un diamètre inférieur au micron. L'utilisation d'une composition spécifique dans des conditions de préparation précises (adjonction d'un solvant polaire à la phase organique), et le choix raisonné de la phase organique appropriée et de la fraction de phase permet la production reproductible de nanoparticules exceptionnellement petites d'un diamètre inférieure à 200 nm qui peuvent être stérilisées par filtration. Le système de particules obtenu dans le cadre de l'invention peut être transformé en une poudre sèche redispersible comprenant des nanoparticules d'un médicament enrobé d'une protéine, insoluble dans l'eau, et d'une protéine libre à laquelle des molécules de l'agent pharmacologique sont liées. On obtient ainsi un système d'administration unique en son genre dans lequel un agent actif au plan pharmacologique est facilement biodisponible (sous forme de molécules liées à la protéine), et où une partie de l'agent est présente dans les particules sans aucune matrice polymère.

Title: Inhibitors of memapsin 2 and use thereof
Inventor: TANG JORDAN J N
IPC: C07K5/097
Filed: 2000-06-27
Granted: 2010-06-22
Abstract: Methods for the production of purified, catalytically active, recombinant memapsin 2 have been developed. The substrate and subsite specificity of the catalytically active enzyme have been determined. The substrate and subsite specificity information was used to design substrate analogs of the natural memapsin 2 substrate that can inhibit the function of memapsin 2. The substrate analogs are based on peptide sequences, shown to be related to the natural peptide substrates for memapsin 2. The substrate analogs contain at least one analog of an amide bond which is not capable of being cleaved by memapsin 2. Processes for the synthesis of two substrate analogues including isosteres at the sites of the critical amino acid residues were developed and the substrate analogues, OMR99-1 and OM99-2, were synthesized. OM99-2 is based on an octapeptide Glu-Val-Asn-Leu-Ala-Ala-Glu-Phe (SEQ ID NO:28) with the Leu-Ala peptide bond substituted by a transition-state isostere hydroxyethylene group (Figure 1). The inhibition constant of OM99-2 is 1.6 x 10-9 M against recombinant pro-memapsin 2. Crystallography of memapsin 2 bound to this inhibitor was used to determine the three dimensional structure of the protein, as well as the importance of the various residues in binding. This information can be used by those skilled in the art to design new inhibitors, using commercially available software programs and techniques familiar to those in organic chemistry and enzymology, to design new inhibitors to memapsin 2, useful in diagnostics and for the treatment and/or prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
