Past Research Funding Proposals
2010 - Proposed an innovated method and process for cleanup of the
oil spill off the Gulf Coast caused by explosion at BP offshore oil
platform. This process of oil cleanup is done by Centrifugation-
Extraction-Solvent Regeneration Process (CER-PROCESS). The crude
oil, the sludge, and the sea water are collected and instantly separated
based on density, molecular weight and particle charge. The CER-
PROCESS extracts crude oil and the removes organic impurities from
oil spills and industrial wastewater streams by ultra-centrifugation.
Wastewater flows through a separator apparatus (centrifugation) to
remove approximately 99.99% of the dirt, oil, or sludge from the
process water streams discharged from refineries and petrochemical
plants. The centrifugation step leaves behind about 100 ppm to 150
ppm of entrained organic impurities in the form of benzene,
substituted olefinic materials. Wastewater material is then contacted
with the extracting agent by way of mixing under high turbulence
based on a pre-determined water/extracting agent ratio. The mixture is
pumped into a separator where the extracting agent is allowed to
separate from the wastewater stream. This technology was designed to
remove oil and organic impurities, such as: benzene, phenols,
alkalized derivatives and poly-nuclear aromatic compounds from spills
into oceans and wastewater streams produced by industrial chemical
manufacturers. After review BP decline to pursue the use of the
technology.
2011 – Alternative Eczema Management. Synthetic steroids approved
by the FDA are used as drugs by many eczema and psoriasis sufferers.
However, the long-term use of synthetic steroids can cause serious
side effects such as Cushing Syndrome. Additionally, the product
ElidelTM
another FDA approved drug, has shown some success in the
management of eczema but the use of this product also carries the risk
of unwanted side-effects like herpes and viral infections.
Xcel Nutraceuticals Skin Ointment made with extracts from flowers,
leaves, and fruits that are then combined with antioxidants and other
natural organic substances, is a promising new non-synthetic and non-
steroidal viable alternative remedy for people who suffer with eczema
and psoriasis. Earlier research and a small clinical study conducted by
the company Xcel Nutraceuticals, has shown this natural skin formula
to be very effective for controlling common symptoms associated with
eczema and psoriasis. A proposal was submitted to the National
Eczema Foundation to conduct broader clinical studies using this
ointment, to further determine the ointment effectiveness over varying
demographic pool of individuals who suffer with eczema. The
proposal was not funded.
Report of Current Research Activities
2012 to Present. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Interventions.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, is a digestive disorder that
affects the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the ring of muscle
between the esophagus and stomach. Doctors believe that some people
suffer from GERD due to a condition called hiatal hernia. In most
cases, heartburn can be relieved through diet and lifestyle changes;
however, some people may require medication or surgery. When acid
refluxes back into the esophagus in patients with GERD, nerve fibers
in the esophagus are stimulated. This nerve stimulation results most
commonly in heartburn, the pain that is characteristic of GERD.
Heartburn usually is described as a burning pain in the middle of the
chest. It may start high in the abdomen or may extend up into the neck.
In some patients, however, the pain may be sharp or pressure-like,
rather than burning. Such pain can mimic heart pain (angina). In other
patients, the pain may extend to the back. Since acid reflux is more
common after meals, heartburn is more common after meals.
Heartburn is also more common when individuals lie down because
without the effects of gravity, reflux occurs more easily, and acid is
returned to the stomach more slowly. Many patients with GERD are
awakened from sleep by heartburn.
Omeprazole, 5-methoxy-2-[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pryridinyl)
methyl]sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole,Rabeprazole(RS)-2-([4-(3-
methoxypropoxy)-3-methylpyridin-2-l]methylsufinyl)-1H-
benzo[d]imidazole, and Lansoprazole, (RS)-2-([3-methyl-4-(2,2,2-
trifluoroethoxy)pyridin-2-yl]methylsulfinyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole
belong to a class of compounds that have found successful utility as
gastric acid secretion inhibitors. Specifically, this class of
pharmacological activity compounds is called ―proton pump
inhibitors‖.
It has now been discovered that gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD) and heartburn can be effectively treated and controlled by
using (a) a natural or synthetic dithiolane compound that has 2 to 10
carbon atoms between the two sulfur atoms, its metabolites, or
derivatives thereof of the organic dithiolane ringed compound, such as
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA), and (b) a proton pump inhibitor like 5-
methoxy-2-[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pryridinyl) methyl]sulfinyl]-
1H-benzimidazole, commercially known as Omeprazole.
The patented (US. # 9,457,011) acid-reflux treatment regime uses
commonly (1) known proton pump inhibitors or (2) histamine H(2)
acid receptor antagonists in combination with a naturally occurring or
synthetic dithiolane ringed compounds. The combination of the
dithiolane compound and standard gastric acid secretion inhibitors
used in the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders, exhibits
a synergistic effect in eliminating gastrointestinal disorders and
symptoms superior to standard treatment when used alone. The
combination regime is faster acting (participants realizing relief in 60-
120 minutes vs. 2 days) than current GERD drugs like Nexium,
Prilosec, Omeprazole, and appears to be longer lasting (2 days vs.
1day) and exhibits longer lasting effect to suppress heartburn or GERD
(even during resting periods) than histamine H(2) acid receptor
antagonists ( 24 hours vs. 4 hrs).

Phenols to
Inhibit Polymer
Formation
During the
Manufacture of
Acrylonitrile
Shahid M. The present invention provides substituted phenols which are
effective to inhibit polymer formation during the manufacture of
acrylonitrile. Preferred substituted phenols are (a) hindered phenols,
nonhindered phenols, and partially hindered phenols, or (b) combinations
of hindered phenols with nonhindered or partially hindered phenols. A
most preferred substituted phenol is p-nitrosophenol. In a preferred
embodiment, the substituted phenols (with the exception of p-
nitrosophenol) are combined with hydrogen transfer agents.

selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, straight, branched or
cyclic alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, and alkaryl moieties; where no more than two of
R1, R
2, and R
3 on each C can be hydrogen at a time; where one or more of
R1, R
2, and R
3 on one C may be joined to a R
1, R
2, and R
3 on the other C to
form a cyclic moiety selected from the group consisting of alkylene, and
aralkylene moieties; where any two of the R1, R
2, and R
3 on any one C
may be joined together to form a cycloalkyl; where any of the above
definitions of R1, R
2, and R
3 may contain one or more heteroatoms
selected from the group consisting of N, O and S; and where the total
number of carbon atoms in the hindered N,N-disubstituted hydroxylamine
ranges from 6 to 70. Optional synergists may include alkyl-substituted
hydroxyarenes such as 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone, and hydrogen
transfer agents such as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene; and the like, and
mixtures thereof.
