International Classification:

A61K 3155

US Classification:

51421202, 51421103, 51421104, 51421204, 5142245, 514267, 514278, 540485, 540495, 540543, 540547, 544249, 544315, 544318

Abstract:

Spirotricyclic azacycloalkyl compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are disclosed. The synthesis of these compounds is also described. One application of these compounds, which are alpha 1a adrenergic receptor antagonists, is in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. These compounds are selective in their ability to relax smooth muscle tissue enriched in the alpha 1a receptor subtype without at the same time inducing hypotension. One such tissue is found surrounding the urethral lining. Therefore, one utility of the instant compounds is to provide acute relief to males suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia, by permitting less hindered urine flow. Another utility of the instant compounds is provided by combination with a human 5-alpha reductase inhibitory compound, such that both acute and chronic relief from the effects of benign prostatic hyperplasia can be achieved.

Assignee:

Freeze Service, Inc. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

F25C 100

US Classification:

62293

Abstract:

Apparatus for freezing liquid in a fluid conducting pipe comprises a freeze jacket having two halves for releasably surrounding a section of pipe. Each jacket half includes outwardly extending flanges in abutting relationship when the jacket halves surround the section of pipe, and structure is provided on the flanges for releasably securing the two jacket halves together around the pipe. The jacket has an internal cylindrical freeze cavity adjacent the pipe and this cavity receives and retains a supply of liquid nitrogen. The cylindrical freeze cavity is defined in part by an inner two-part fixedly secured cylindrical sleeve, one half of the sleeve being associated with each half of the jacket. Insulation is positioned on the outside of each fixed sleeve half between that sleeve and an outer removable cover. Removal of the cover enables internal structural repairs and exposes the insulation for removal and replacement with new insulation.
