This invention relates to methods of preventing or reducing the degradation of elastin and other proteins and thereby preventing or retarding the disease states caused by said degradation by administering compounds of the formula: ##STR1## or their pharmacologically acceptable salts.

This invention provides a method of inhibiting aromatase and treating estrogen-dependent diseases in mammals by administering certain azole derivatives. Certain azole derivatives and their pharmaceutical formulations are also provided.

This document discloses a method for purification, including concentration, of certain enzyme inhibitors. The inhibitors are sorbed from their aqueous solutions by an insoluble material which is a combination of a polymeric substance and an enzyme, and subsequently are desorbed.

A rust-inhibiting oil composition is disclosed comprised of a mineral oil and an alkali-acid stable rust inhibitor which is represented by the formula: [R--Z--R.sub.2 --O].sub.y --R.sub.3 where R is an alkyl, alkenyl, alkaryl or alkenaryl radical; Z is oxygen or a methylene radical; y is a number from 1 to 4, R.sub.2 is and R.sub.3 is a radical which remains when y hydroxyl groups are removed from a polyhydric alcohol anhydride. The base polyhydric alcohol anhydrides for R.sub.3 contains at leas...

Disclosed herein is a process for inhibiting the production of polymeric .epsilon.-caprolactones in the oxidation of cyclohexanones to produce monomeric .epsilon.-caprolactones. The cyclohexanones are reacted with a suitable oxidizing agent such as peracetic acid in the presence of certain polymerization inhibitors such as isocyanates.

A change-speed planetary transmission for a vehicle with controls including a shift valve having a shift inhibiting control unit operatively connected thereto. The control unit provides for the selective establishment of a predetermined pressure in a control chamber by employing calibrated feed and exhaust orifices which provides a force to move the shift valve element to a downshift position when the opposing force of governor pressure is sufficiently reduced. When the valve downshifts there is...

Ultraviolet light absorbers with extremely low volatility are prepared by reacting 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone and organic dihalides or diepoxides. The resultant compounds have the general formula ##SPC1## Where R is a divalent organic radical. These compounds may be used as carriers for dye, permitting the internal coloring of polyester films and fibers.

Azodicarbonamides, preferably having the general formula wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 individually are hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, or heterocyclic groups, or wherein the pairs of groups R.sub.1 - R.sub.2 or R.sub.3 - R.sub.4 represent atoms necessary to complete a heterocyclic ring, are effective fog-inhibitors for silver halide photographic emulsions.

Photographic developers containing (1) a 3-pyrazolidone, (2) either an ascorbic acid or a mixture of an ascorbic acid with a polyhydroxybenzene compound, and (3) an alkali metal or ammonium salt of a hydroxylated polybasic organic acid as an oxidation inhibitor. Photographic elements containing the developer are also described as well as a chemical transfer process utilizing such photographic elements.

Novel compounds resulting from the reaction of hindered phenols, such as 3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenxyl alcohol, with various aryl amines or carbazole are effective oxidation inhibitors for lubricants.
