20100227878	NOSCAPINE ANALOGS AND THEIR USE IN TREATING CANCERS, INCLUDING DRUG-RESISTANT CANCERS - Compounds, pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds, and methods of preparation and use thereof are disclosed. The compounds are noscapine analogs. The compounds and compositions can be used to treat and/or prevent a wide variety of cancers, including drug resistant cancers. While the antitussive plant alkaloid, noscapine, binds tubulin, displays anticancer activity, and has a safe pharmacological profile in humans, structure-function analyses pointed to a proton at position 9 of the isoquinoline ring that can be modified without compromising tubulin binding activity. Noscapine analogs with various functional moieties at position 9 on the isoquinoline ring kill human cancer cells resistant to other anti-microtubule agents, such as vincas and taxanes. Representative analogs include the 9-nitro, 9-bromo-, 9-iodo-, and 9-fluoro-noscapines, which bind tubulin and induce apoptosis selectively in tumor cells (ovarian and T-cell lymphoma) resistant to paclitaxel, vinblastine and teniposide. Surprisingly, treatment with one of the analogs, 9-nitro-nos, at doses as high as 100 μM, did not affect the cell cycle profile of normal human fibroblasts. This selectivity for cancer cells represents a unique edge over the other available antimitotics. The compounds can perturb the progression of cell cycle by mitotic arrest, followed by apoptotic cell death associated with increased caspase-3 activation and appearance of TUNEL-positive cells. Thus, the compounds are novel therapeutic agents for a variety of cancers, including ovarian and T-cell lymphoma cancers, even those that have become drug-resistant to currently available chemotherapeutic drugs.	09-09-2010
20110286919	CONJUGATES OF NOSCAPINE AND FOLIC ACID AND THEIR USE IN TREATING CANCER - The present invention is directed to compounds which are conjugates of two non-toxic natural products, noscapine (and various noscapine analogs) and folic acid (and various folic acid analogs), where the folic acid is conjugated to noscapine or the noscapine analog at the 9-position on the isoquinoline ring on the noscapine framework. Pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds, and methods of treating various tumors using the compounds and compositions, are also disclosed. The conjugates are particularly useful for treating cancers which overexpress the Folate Receptor α (FRa) receptor.	11-24-2011
20110294844	9-AMINONOSCAPINE AND ITS USE IN TREATING CANCERS, INCLUDING DRUG-RESISTANT CANCERS - 9-aminonoscapine, prodrugs thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions including 9-aminonoscapine, and methods of preparation and use thereof are disclosed. 9-aminonoscapine is a noscapine analog that can be used to treat and/or prevent a wide variety of cancers, including drug resistant cancers, by binding tubulin and inducing apoptosis selectively in tumor cells (ovarian and T-cell lymphoma) resistant to paclitaxel, vinblastine and teniposide. 9-aminonoscapine can perturb the progression of cell cycle by mitotic arrest, followed by apoptotic cell death associated with increased caspase-3 activation and appearance of TUNEL-positive cells. Thus, 9-aminonoscapine is a novel therapeutic agents for a variety of cancers, including ovarian and T-cell lymphoma cancers, even those that have become drug-resistant to currently available chemotherapeutic drugs.	12-01-2011

20080300987	WEBSITE MONETIZATION - A merchant portal accessible by a user via the Internet searches for a product using typical search techniques. The merchant portal returns to the user a list of merchants in an identified geographic location. For each listed merchant, a token is created that associates the inquiry and the merchant. Once a token has been generated, financial transactions at the merchant are monitored for the time corresponding to the life of the token. When a transaction occurs at a merchant involving the user, a report is generated associating that sale with the inquiry. Based on the sale, a fee for directing the user to the merchant is generated.	12-04-2008
20090327452	AUTOMATED CHANNEL DATA EXTRACTION AND TRANSFORMATION - Select portions of product channel data collected by a product channel participant and stored in a data warehouse are periodically extracted based on a previously determined template. The extracted subset of product channel data is thereafter transformed so that the format of the data complies with that of the requesting enterprise. Once transformed, one or more rule sets is applied to the subset of transformed data to guarantee that the information complies with requirements set forth by the enterprise yet does not violate any disclosure rules of the product channel participant. Thereafter and on a scheduled basis, the transformed and validated data is delivered to a delivery server from which the enterprise can retrieve the data at its convenience.	12-31-2009

20110272120	COMPACT MODULAR LIQUID COOLING SYSTEMS FOR ELECTRONICS - A cooling system for a microchip or other component is described, including, in one embodiment: (1) a cold plate assembly positioned adjacent (e.g., in contact with) the component to be cooled; (2) at least one heat exchanger; (3) a fan for directing gas adjacent (e.g., through) a portion of the heat exchanger; and (4) a pump for circulating cooling fluid through a closed circuit including the cold plate and heat exchanger. The cold plate may include guide fins that define macrochannels and microchannels that serve as conduits for the cooling fluid. The fins and channels in one embodiment are shaped to substantially match the heat map profile of the chip or component to be cooled. The heat exchanger in one embodiment includes a reservoir in its base which may cooperate with a recess or channel in a support plate to form an additional cooling fluid flow passage.	11-10-2011
