The present invention relates to ligands of Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP) for the active delivery of various payloads (e.g. cytotoxic drugs, radionuclides, fluorophores, proteins and immunomodulators) at the site of disease. In particular, the present invention relates to the development of FAP ligands for targeting applications, in particular diagnostic methods and/or methods for therapy or surgery in relation to a disease or disorder, such as cancer, inflammation or another disease characterized by overexpression of FAP.

The present disclosure relates to modified metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and a post-synthetic modification method that simultaneously enhances hydrophilicity and water stability to achieve high-performance water sorption materials.

This invention relates to a method of using MOF adsorbents to remove elemental impurities from feed streams comprising active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). The process involves contacting the feed stream comprising API and elemental impurities with the MOF at purification conditions to obtain a purified stream with provides an API which has a concentration of the elemental impurity below its permitted daily exposure. The process can be carried in a batch mode where the MOF and feed stream are admixed in a vessel for a given amount of time or continuously by flowing the feed stream through a column or adsorbent bed containing the MOF adsorbent.

The present invention relates to a novel Group 4 transition metal compound, a method for preparing the compound, a catalyst composition comprising the compound, and a method for preparing a polyolefin comprising performing a polymerization reaction of olefin monomers, in the presence of the catalyst composition. Since the Group 4 transition metal compound of the present invention exhibits an excellent catalytic activity in polyolefin synthesis reactions, as well as having excellent thermal stability, it can be used for polyolefin synthesis reactions at high temperatures, and by changing the type of a central metal and ligand, the weight average molecular weight of synthesized polyolefins and the octene content in the polymer can be controlled. Therefore, it can be effectively used in polyolefin synthesis processes in which grades are controlled.
