Assignee:

Philip Morris USA Inc. - Richmond VA

International Classification:

A24B 15/00

US Classification:

131352, 131347

Abstract:

A pre-portioned moist product comprising a portion of plant material and a coating is disclosed. Preferably, the plant material comprises tobacco. The coating includes a soluble, non-cross-linkable component and an cross-linkable component which becomes substantially water-insoluble upon crosslinking. The soluble component of the coating dissolves upon placement in the mouth, while the insoluble component disintegrates and/or loses structural integrity once the soluble component has dissolved to release and disperse the plant material in the user's mouth.

International Classification:

A24B 15/00

US Classification:

131352

Abstract:

A moist smokeless tobacco product for oral use comprises a pre-portioned piece of tobacco material semi-dissolvable, a super-hydrated membrane coating comprising a soluble, non-cross-linked component and an insoluble, cross-linked component, and a texture component. The tobacco material comprises moist smokeless tobacco. The texture component reduces the slipperiness and/or increases the friction of the moist smokeless tobacco product when placed in a user's mouth.

8/004852

Inventors:

George R. Pettit - Paradise Valley AZ
Feng Gao - Tempe AZ

Assignee:

Arizona Board of Regents, a body corporate, acting on behalf of Arizona
State University - Tempe AZ

International Classification:

C07D32300

US Classification:

549264

Abstract:

An intensive long-term investigation of marine organisms as sources of new anticancer drugs has led to the isolation and structural elucidation (primarily by high field NMR and mass spectrometry) of halistatin 2, a new polyether macrolide of the halipyran-type, from the Western Indian Ocean sponge Axinella cf. carteri (Dendy). Halistatin 2 (1. 4. times. 10. sup. -6 % yield) caused the accumulation of cells arrested in mitosis, inhibited tubulin polymerization, and inhibited the binding of radiolabeled vinblastine and GTP to tubulino. Further, Halistatin 2 displayed significant activity against selected human tumor cell lines.

Abstract:

An intensive long-term investigation of marine organisms as sources of new anticancer drugs has led to the isolation and structural elucidation (primarily by high field NMR and mass spectrometry) of halistatin 1, a new polyether macrolide of the halipyran-type, from the Western Indian Ocean sponge Phakellia carteri. Halistatin 1 (8. 8. times. 10. sup. -7 % yield) caused the accumulation of cells arrested in mitosis, inhibited tubulin polymerization, and inhibited the binding of radiolabeled vinblastine and GTP to tubulin.
