Compounds represented by general formula (I) (all of the symbols in the formula conform to the definitions in the Description) are compounds that, in addition to having a Btk-selective inhibitory activity, exhibit an excellent metabolic stability and can avoid hepatotoxicity or the like, and as a consequence can provide safe therapeutic agents for diseases in which B cells or mast cells participate.

A hair coloring mixture including a carrier liquid with alumino-silicate micro-tubes having a hair dye agent loaded into the lumen of the micro-tubes. The micro-tubes may be present in the carrier liquid in a concentration of between about 5 mg/ml and about 50 mg/ml, while the mixture will have a pH of between about 4 and about 7.

Provided herein are compounds, compositions thereof and uses therewith for treating spinal muscular atrophy. In a specific embodiment, provided herein are compounds of a form that may be used to modulate the inclusion of exon 7 of SMN2 into mRNA that is transcribed from the SMN2 gene. In another specific embodiment, provided herein are compounds of a form that may be used to modulate the inclusion of exon 7 of SMN1 into mRNA that is transcribed from the SMN1 gene. In yet another embodiment, provided herein are compounds of a form that may be used to modulate the inclusion of exon 7 of SMN1 and SMN2 into mRNA that is transcribed from the SMN1 and SMN2 genes, respectively.

Disclosed are methods of antimicrobial treatment using ionic liquids (ILs), IL complexes, polymers comprising ILs, and polymers comprising neutral ethylene diamine compounds. Also disclosed are novel IL complexes, polymers comprising ILs, and polymers comprising neutral ethylene diamine compounds.

The present disclosure generally relates to the field of pest elimination including all life stages of bed bugs. The present disclosure includes compositions and methods of product application to target and kill all life stages of bed bugs.

The compositions and methods described herein are topically applied to the skin with negligible or no skin irritation and can direct or prevent transport through the skin. The compositions contain neat ionic liquids, optionally in combination with a drug to be delivered. In a preferred embodiment, the compositions increase transdermal transport of the drug to be delivered. In some embodiments, the compositions disrupt bacterial biofilms. This is particularly beneficial in the treatment of antibiotic resistant skin infections. In other embodiments, the compositions direct delivery within the skin. In still other embodiments, the compositions prevent transfer of substances through the stratum corneum. The disclosed compositions and methods can be tuned and modified such that they can be used to treat or prevent a variety of different diseases and disorders.

A species of Burkholderia sp with no known pathogenicity to vertebrates but with pesticidal activity (e.g., plants, insects, fungi, weeds and nematodes) is provided. Also provided are natural products derived from a culture of said species and methods of controlling pests using said natural products.
