Title: Process for the double bond hydroisomerization of butenes
Inventor: GARTSIDE ROBERT J
IPC: C07C6/04
Filed: 2006-04-14
Abstract: A process is disclosed for the preferential conversion to 2-butene of a stream containing C4 compounds including 1-butene and 2-butene. The process involves mixing the C4 stream with a first hydrogen stream to form a feed stream, hydroisomerizing the feed stream in the presence of a first hydroisomerization catalyst in order to convert at least a portion of the 1-butene to 2-butene, thereby producing a hydroisomerization effluent, passing the hydroisomerization effluent through a fractionation column to form a top stream comprising isobutane and isobutylene and a bottoms stream comprising 2-butene, withdrawing a recycle stream from said fractionation column at a location above the feed point at which the weight ratio of 1-butene to 2-butene is high, and combining the recycle stream with at least one of the C4 stream and the feed stream upstream from the hydroisomerization catalyst. A  corresponding apparatus also is disclosed.

Title: Direct compression formulation of dpp-iv inhibitors and glitazones, and process
Inventor: PATEL ARUN P
IPC: A61K9/20
Filed: 2006-06-08
Abstract: Dipeptidylpeptidase IV inhibitor (herein referred to as DPP-IV) that may be 98.5 -100% pure is a high-dose drug capable of being directly compressed with a glitazone and specific excipients into sold form dosage forms, such as tablets and capsules having desired, hardness, disintegrating ability and acceptable dissolution characteristics. DPP-IV is not inherently compressible and thus presents formulation problems. Excipients used in the formulation enhance the flow and compaction properties of the drug and tableting mix.  Optimal flow contributes to uniform die fill and weight control. The binder used ensures sufficient cohesive properties that allow DPP-IV to be compressed using the direct compression method. The tablets produced provide an acceptable in vitro dissolution profile.
