The present invention features calcilytic compounds. “Calcilytic compounds” refer to compounds able to inhibit calcium receptor activity. Also described are the use of calcilytic compounds to inhibit calcium receptor activity and/or achieve a beneficial effect in a patient; and techniques which can be used to obtain additional calcilytic compounds.
Novel compounds denoted as 2-aryl-2-halomethyl-4-alkenyl-1,3-dioxolanes used as intermediates in making 1-(2-Ar-4-R-1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)imidazoles, useful as antifungal and antibacterial agents.
A resin composition is provided which comprises (A) 100 parts by weight of an ABS graft copolymer composed of an acrylonitrile compound and a vinyl aromatic compound in a weight ratio of 10:90 to 50:50, and (B) 5 to 30 parts by weight of an ethylene oxide copolymer admixed with the ABS graft copolymer and containing at least 50 wt. % of ethylene oxide, the ethylene oxide copolymer having a refractive index (nD²⁰) of at least 1.50. The composition, which has antistatic properties, is useful for injection molding to give moldings having an excellent surface appearance.
