Patent CA-2408042-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TANINAKA YASUNORI
IPC: C23C14/34
Filed: 2002-03-05
Abstract: A dielectric film having a high refractive index, characterized in that it comprises an amorphous material comprising a titanium oxide (TiOx wherein 1 <= x <= 2) as a primary component and another metal oxide (MOw wherein M is a metal such as niobium or tantalum and 1 <= w) as an additive component an d having no cylindrical structure. Although a titanium oxide is prone to crystallize even in a thin film form, the above dielectric film takes an amorphous state since the above another metal oxide added interferes with th e crystal growth of a titanium oxide. The dielectric film has a high refractiv e index, exhibits the reduced change over time of optical characteristics, and  has a reduced film stress, and thus it can be used with stability as a constituent material of an optical multilayer film.

Title: Inhibitors of memapsin 2 and use thereof
Inventor: KOELSCH GERALD
IPC: C07K5/02
Filed: 2001-12-28
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 by a method which determine s the initial hydrolysis rate of the substrate by using MALDI-TOF/MS. Alternatively, the subsite specificity of mepapsin can be determined by probing a library of inhibitors with memapsin 2 and subsequently detecting t he bound memapsin 2 with an antibody raised to memapsin 2 and an alkaline phosphatase conjugated secondary antibody. The substrate and subsite specificity information was used to design substrate analogs of the natural memapsin 2 substrate that can inhibit the function of memapsin2. The substra te analogs are based on peptide sequences, shown to be related to the natural peptide substrates for memapsin 2. The substrate analogs contain at least on e analog of an amide bond which is not capable of being cleaved by memapsin 2. Processes for the synthesis of substrate analogues including isoteres at the sites of the critical amino acid residues were developed and the more than seventy substrate analogues were synthetized, among which MMI-005, MMI-012, MMI-017, MMI-018, MMI-025, MMI-026, MMI-037, MMI-039, MMI-040, MMI-066, MMI- 070, and MMI-071 have inhibitionconstants in the range of 1.4-61.4 x 109 M against recombinant pro-memapsin 2. These inhibitors are useful in diagnosti cs and for the treatment and/or prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
