Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 508,807, filed June 16, 2023, U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 494,995, filed April 7, 2023, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 384,854, filed November 23, 2022, all of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0003] Field of the Invention

[0004] The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for their preparation. In particular, the present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for regulating sleep by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an oral composition and a carrier. Background Art

[0005] Good sleep is essential for good physical and mental health and quality of life. Insufficient sleep is associated with a range of adverse health and social outcomes, including poor performance in school and the workplace. Reduced sleep duration is associated with seven of the 15 leading causes of death in the United States, including cardiovascular disease, malignant neoplasms, cerebrovascular disease, accidents, diabetes, sepsis, and hypertension.

[0006] Given the prevalence of chronic diseases related to sleep loss in the current global population, inventions that improve or reduce the adverse effects of sleep loss will have a direct and significant beneficial effect on global human health. Good sleep hygiene can promote optimal sleep duration and quality, such as consistent bedtime and wake-up times, reduced caffeine intake, and managed screen time before bed.

[0007] Therapeutic intervention is the most common treatment for sleep disorders. Currently, there are three FDA-approved molecules for the treatment of insomnia through orexin receptor antagonism: suvorexant, lemborexant, and daridorexant. Several other molecules are under investigation for the treatment of insomnia. However, most treatment options are not suitable for daily use as nutritional interventions.

[0008] Various herbal remedies and dietary supplements are claimed to aid sleep. These include melatonin, valerian root, German chamomile, kava, L-tryptophan, Tilia, verbena, melissa, and Scutellaria. However, these products are not consistently regulated, resulting in variations in ingredient purity and effectiveness. Scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of these herbal regimens is limited. Most herbal regimens are generally considered safe, but information is lacking regarding how they interact with prescription medications. Melatonin is the most popular regimen for treating insomnia. For optimal effectiveness, 3 mg to 5 mg is typically given several hours before bedtime, especially for occasional use. However, melatonin is not recommended for the long-term management of chronic insomnia. The long-term safety of melatonin is unknown.

[0009] Clearly, there is an unmet need to develop nutritional interventions to improve sleep quality and duration. Summary of the Invention

The metabolites of such structures can vary depending on the specific sugar / glucoside; however, the main metabolic reaction of glucosides is hydrolysis. This process involves the cleavage of the glycosidic bond between the glucose unit and the aglycone (the non-sugar portion of the molecule). An enzyme called glucosidase present in various organisms can promote this reaction. Hydrolysis produces a sugar component (glucose) and aglycone. Therefore, the present disclosure provides aglycone of any one of the disclosed compounds listed in Table A. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides substituted flavonoids, substituted flavanones, substituted flavones, substituted chalcones and substituted anthraquinones.

[0090] Composition

[0091] In aspects, disclosed herein are compositions comprising one or more compounds described herein and a carrier. In some embodiments, the one or more compounds are of plant origin. In some embodiments, the one or more compounds are derived from cells. In some embodiments, the one or more compounds are synthetically produced. In some embodiments, the composition is an oral composition.

[0092] In some embodiments, the composition comprises a plant extract and a carrier, wherein the plant extract includes one or more compounds described herein. As used herein, "extract" refers to a composition containing the desired compound of interest, which is separated from other substances present in the natural source material from which the oral composition is obtained. Plant extracts can be obtained from any plant tissue, including the whole plant; plant parts, such as bud vegetative organs / structures (e.g., leaves, stems, and tubers), roots, flowers and flower organs / structures (e.g., bracts, sepals, petals, stamens, carpels, anthers, and ovules), seeds (including embryos, endosperms, and seed coats), and fruits (mature ovaries); plant tissues (e.g., vascular tissues, basic tissues, etc.); or cells (e.g., guard cells, egg cells, etc.), as well as their progeny and cultures or cell lines. In some embodiments, the extract is generally considered to be safe for human ingestion. Therefore, in certain embodiments, the extract is from an edible source. In this regard, the extract is an edible extract. The extract can be prepared by freezing, grinding, macerating, pulverizing and / or fermenting the target source material, subjecting the source material to solvent extraction, and separating insoluble matter from soluble matter. In this regard, the "extract" of the present disclosure can be a crude extract, a fractionated extract, a subfractionated extract, an isolated extract, a separated extract, an enriched extract, or a purified extract, but is not limited thereto.

[0093] In some embodiments, plant extract can be a crude extract. As used herein, "crude extract" refers to a compound or molecule that has not yet been completely separated from the component of the original composition with which it exists. In embodiments relating to fractions or subfractions, the molecule in the crude extract can be partially separated to provide a sub-crude extract containing other substances. In contrast, the term "isolated" means that the compound or molecule is substantially enriched or purified relative to its naturally occurring complex cellular environment (such as in a crude extract). When the isolated molecule is enriched or purified, absolute purity level is unimportant, and those skilled in the art can easily determine appropriate purity level according to the purposes of the material.

[0195] Methods and uses

[0196] In aspects, the present disclosure provides methods and uses for improving, restoring, regulating or maintaining sleep. According to this method, an effective amount of one or more compounds or compositions of the present disclosure is provided to a subject in need thereof so that the subject's sleep is improved, restored, regulated or maintained. As used herein, the term "subject" refers to an animal, preferably a mammal. In some embodiments, the subject is a veterinarian, companion animal, farm animal, laboratory animal or zoological animal. In other embodiments, the subject is a human.

[0197] Several signaling molecules have been found to play a role in sleep. Various neurotransmitters (including norepinephrine, acetylcholine, histamine, dopamine, serotonin, and the neuropeptides orexin A and orexin B (also known as hypocretin)) can promote wakefulness. Orexin is a neuropeptide involved in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, feeding patterns, energy balance, and stress in mammals. Disorders or loss of orexin signaling are associated with narcolepsy. In some embodiments, the plant extracts or compounds described herein are orexin receptor antagonists. In some embodiments, the plant extracts or compounds described herein include orexin receptor 2 (OX2) antagonists. In some embodiments, the plant extracts or compounds described herein include orexin receptor 1 (OX1) antagonists. In some embodiments, the plant extracts or compounds described herein can act as antagonists of both orexin receptor 1 and orexin receptor 2.

[0204] In some embodiments, the method comprises increasing a subject's slow-wave sleep stages 1 to 4 by administering a composition described herein. In some embodiments, the method comprises increasing a subject's REM sleep by administering a composition described herein. In some embodiments, the method comprises increasing a subject's deep sleep by administering a composition described herein. Humans experience several different sleep stages. These include slow-wave sleep stage 1 (SWS1), slow-wave sleep stage 2 (SWS2), slow-wave sleep stage 3 (SWS3), slow-wave sleep stage 4 (SWS4), and rapid eye movement (REM). SWS1 and SWS2 are both light sleep stages, during which a person is relatively easy to awaken. Light sleep is typically more common in the second half of sleep. SWS3 and SWS4 are both deep sleep stages, during which a sleeper is difficult to awaken. Deep sleep is more common in the first half of sleep, with each sleep stage subsequently becoming shorter in duration. REM is the sleep stage during which a person experiences the most vivid dreams. The waveform patterns are similar to those observed when a person is awake. In healthy individuals, SWS1 accounts for approximately 5% of sleep, SWS2 accounts for approximately 50% of sleep, SWS3 accounts for approximately 10% of sleep, SWS4 accounts for approximately 10% of sleep, and REM accounts for approximately 25% of sleep. In some embodiments, the method can increase slow-wave sleep stage 1 by approximately 1% to approximately 5% of a subject's sleep. In some embodiments, the method can increase slow-wave sleep stage 2 by approximately 10% to approximately 50% of a subject's sleep. In some embodiments, the method can increase slow-wave sleep stage 3 by approximately 2% to approximately 10% of a subject's sleep. In some embodiments, the method can increase slow-wave sleep stage 4 by approximately 2% to approximately 10% of a subject's sleep. In some embodiments, the method can increase REM sleep by approximately 10% to approximately 25% of a subject's sleep.

[0205] In some embodiments, the method improves a sleep disorder in a subject by administering a composition described herein to the subject. Sleep disorders are described in the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICDS). The ICDS-3, published in 2014, characterizes sleep disorders as one of the following categories: (1) insomnia; (2) sleep-related breathing disorders; (3) central hypersomnias; (3) circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders; (4) parasomnias; (5) sleep-related movement disorders. Therefore, the sleep disorder treated by the oral composition described herein can include any sleep disorder in the following categories: (1) insomnia; (2) sleep-related breathing disorders; (3) central hypersomnias; (3) circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders; (4) parasomnias; (5) sleep-related movement disorders. Specifically, the oral composition can effectively treat sleep disorders selected from the following: insomnia, narcolepsy, hypersomnia, sleep apnea, periodic limb movement disorder, restless legs syndrome, night eating (drinking) syndrome, jet lag, shift work sleep disorder, irregular sleep-wake pattern, confusional awakenings, sleepwalking, sleep terrors, sleep talking, nightmares, sleep paralysis, REM sleep behavior disorder, snoring, sleeping sickness, sleep disorders associated with other diseases or conditions, or any other sleep disorder.

[0206] By "effective amount" is meant the amount of a provided drug that, when administered to a patient, is sufficient to achieve an effect. In the context of a therapeutic method, this effect may be treating a sleep disorder. Thus, an "effective amount" may be a "therapeutically effective amount." By "therapeutically effective amount" is meant the amount of a provided drug that, when administered to a subject, is sufficient to treat a disease or a symptom of a disease.

[0207] As used herein, the terms "treating," "treatment," "treat," and the like mean affecting a subject, tissue, or cell to obtain a desired pharmacological and / or physiological effect. The effect may be preventative, i.e., completely or partially preventing a disease or associated symptoms, or reducing the severity of a disease or associated symptoms, and / or the effect may be therapeutic, i.e., partially or completely curing a disease. For example, therefore, reference to "treating" a sleep disorder may encompass: (a) helping a subject fall asleep; (b) helping a subject stay asleep once asleep; (c) alleviating or ameliorating the effects of a sleep disorder, e.g., increasing wakefulness during non-sleep periods; or (d) preventing a sleep disorder in a subject susceptible to or at risk of a sleep disorder so that the subject does not develop or develop a sleep disorder, or so that the sleep disorder develops in a less severe form.

[0208] In some embodiments, a method of treating insomnia in a subject comprises administering one or more compounds described herein. In some embodiments, a method of treating insomnia in a subject comprises administering an oral composition described herein. The symptoms and severity of insomnia can be measured using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) questionnaire. Typically, the ISI is administered by a clinician, nurse, or researcher, or can be self-administered by the patient. The ISI assesses both nighttime and daytime components of insomnia and is available in multiple languages. The ISI asks seven questions, each scored on a scale of 0 to 4, relating to (1) difficulty falling asleep, (2) difficulty staying asleep, (3) problems waking up too early, (4) satisfaction with current sleep patterns, (5) perception of the degree to which the sleep problem causes concern to others, (6) degree of concern about the sleep problem, and (7) degree to which the sleep problem interferes with daily life. The method can provide improvements in one or more of these seven aspects of insomnia. In some embodiments of the method of treatment, the subject to be treated can have an initial ISI score of 7 or higher, and in some cases, the initial ISI score can be 10 or higher. In some embodiments, the method of treating insomnia can provide a reduction in the patient's ISI score relative to an initial ISI score. This reduction in ISI score can be a reduction of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or more units on the ISI scale, and preferably results in the patient having an ISI score of 7 or less after treatment.

[0209] The ISI can be used alone to assess the severity of insomnia in a subject, or can be used in conjunction with one or more other questionnaires, such as the Quality of Life Happiness and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-les-Q), the Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS), the Dysfunction Beliefs About Sleep (DBAS), the Multidimensional Fatigue Self-Rating Scale, and any other recognized questionnaires known in the art.

[0210] Patients are typically assessed using one or more questionnaires before starting treatment and then at regular intervals during treatment (e.g., 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 7 weeks, or 8 weeks). During-treatment assessments can begin 2 weeks after treatment begins.

[0211] In some embodiments, treatment can be continued for up to 14 days, for example, treatment can be continued for 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 8 days, 9 days, 10 days, 11 days, 12 days, 13 days, or 14 days. In some embodiments, treatment is continued for more than 14 days, for example, 3 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 36 months, or longer.

[0212] Typically, the oral composition is administered once daily, preferably shortly before the patient attempts to fall asleep. In some embodiments, the oral composition is administered within about 2 hours of the patient attempting to fall asleep, for example, within about 1.5 hours, about 1 hour, or about 30 minutes before bedtime.

[0213] In some embodiments, insomnia can be assessed by measuring one or more objective indicators of sleep. Objective indicators of sleep can be measured by polysomnography (PSG) and / or actigraphy. Objective indicators of sleep can include measurements of: sleep onset latency (SO); wake time after sleep onset (WASO); total sleep time (TST); sleep efficiency (SE); REM and NREM sleep patterns, including slow-wave sleep patterns and the percentage of time in all sleep stages; sleep apnea; periodic limb movements; and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the method for treating insomnia can provide one or more objective indicators of sleep, for example, improvements in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more objective indicators of sleep.

[0221] Example

[0222] The following non-limiting examples are provided to further illustrate the present disclosure.

[0223] Example 1

[0224] A Dionex™ Accelerated Solvent Extractor 350 was used to extract the plant material. Four 100 mL stainless steel ASE extraction tanks were filled with 25 g of ground plant tissue. Static extraction was performed at a preset temperature of 60°C for a total of twelve extraction cycles. The solvents used for extraction were 95% ethanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane. The solvent was removed, and the 95% ethanol extract was subjected to a bioassay-guided fractionation protocol. Briefly, the extract was dry-loaded onto a C18 spherical flash chromatography column. Elution was performed using a mobile phase consisting of water + 0.1% formic acid (A) and CH3CN + 0.1% formic acid (B), followed by a gradient elution from 1% to 3% B over 3 minutes, then increasing to 100% B over 22 minutes, and then maintaining 100% B at a flow rate of 30 mL / min for 7 minutes. High-activity fractions were pooled, and the pooled sample was further purified by bioassay-guided fractionation using a Kinetex reversed-phase C18 preparative column to yield costunolide.

[0225] Example 2

[0226] This example is a prophetic example. In this example, the extraction method of Example 1 was applied to plant tissues from Table 1.

[0227] Table 1

[0228] The amount of costunolide or other compounds of interest such as was determined in certain extracts (percent of extract, w / w). The compounds were quantified by normalizing the results to the weight of the extract. The results of these analyses were confirmed.

[0229] Example 3

[0230] The oral composition is provided before going to bed every day in the hope of obtaining a good night's sleep. The oral composition adopts a small capsule preparation and comprises an extract of Eupatorium perforatum and a carrier.

[0231] Directions for use: For oral compositions, take one capsule orally once daily before bedtime with an 8-ounce glass of water. Preferably, take the oral composition in anticipation of a full night's sleep.

[0232] Example 4

[0233] In this example, the in vitro biological activities of the naturally occurring compounds in the plants described herein were tested to determine whether they could modulate orexin receptors. Structures 20 to 38 were identified as modulating orexin receptors (Orx1, Orx2), or both. Figures 1 to 11Compounds 20 to 30 are shown to modulate Orx2 agonism. Figure 12 Compounds 31 to 38 were shown to modulate orexin receptor (Orx1, Orx2) agonism.

[0234] Example 5

[0235] In this example, the in vitro biological activities of naturally occurring compounds were evaluated.

[0236] For this example, the following protocol was used: 1.) cells were plated in 20 μL of cell plating reagent; 2.) cells were incubated overnight at 37°C and 5% CO2; 3.) cells were treated with 2.5 μL of 10X antagonist prepared in compound dilution buffer (for OR2 screening, 2.5 μL of 1:100 natural product sample was prepared in DiscoverX cell plating reagent. A control antagonist, Seltorexant, 10X stock solution was prepared at 1500 nM); 4.) incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C and 5% CO2; 5.) cells were treated with 2.5 μL of 10X agonist prepared in compound dilution buffer (for OR2 screening, 2.5 μL of 10X orexin B EC80, 252.7 nM); 6.) incubated for 90 minutes at 37°C and 5% CO2; 7.) 12.5 μL of working detection solution; 8.) incubate at room temperature in the dark for 1 hour; and 9.) read the chemiluminescent signal.

[0237] The plants described herein were tested to determine the concentration (in μM) required to achieve a relative IC50 for the OR2 receptor, the absolute agonism percentage achieved at the μM concentration of the relative OR2 IC50, the percent receptor activity at the concentration (in μM) required to achieve an IC50 in OR2, the percent cell viability at the μM concentration of IC50 as measured by the XTT assay, the concentration of the fraction (in multiple dilutions) required to achieve an IC50 for OR2, and the percent receptor activity at the concentration of the fraction (in multiple dilutions) required to achieve an IC50 for OR2. The results are described in Table 2.

[0238] Table 2

[0239] Example 6

[0240] In this example, the in vivo tolerance of Compound 26, Compound 21, Compound 29, and Compound 13 was evaluated.

[0241] Upon arrival at the testing facility, naive rats (male Sprague-Dawley rats) were housed in cages for up to 7 days to acclimate to the operant chamber environment, with free access to food and water. On the day of the experiment, at least one hour before the start of any experiment, animals were acclimated to the laboratory environment. All animals were tail-tagged, weighed, and randomly assigned to treatment groups. Animals (n=3 per dose) were treated with Compound 26, Compound 21, Compound 29, and Compound 13 (10 mL / kg, orally). For each compound, a dose-escalation protocol was used, starting at 30 mg / kg and tested for up to four doses. If this initial dose was well tolerated, the dose was increased to 100 mg / kg. If the 30 mg / kg dose was not tolerated, the dose was reduced to 15 mg / kg. Following the dose-escalation protocol, if the 100 mg / kg dose was well tolerated, the dose was increased to 315 mg / kg. If not tolerated, the dose was reduced to 60 mg / kg. These patterns continued to the next decision point: if 315 mg / kg was well tolerated, the dose was increased to a maximum of 500 mg / kg. If 315 mg / kg was not tolerated, the dose was reduced to 200 mg / kg. Following compound administration, each animal was placed in a clear Perspex cage and observed for 60 minutes, with recordings taken at 15, 30, and 60 minute time points.

[0242] Compound 26 was provided by Arctom as a yellow powder. For the formulation, a vehicle of 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in 20% hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin (HPBC) was used. The dose escalation procedure involved a dose volume of 10 mL / kg, based on an assumed body weight of 300 grams per animal. Therefore, the dose volume per animal was approximately 3 mL. There were 3 animals per group, and the total dose volume required for each group was 9 mL. Four dose concentrations were prepared: for the 30 mg / kg dose concentration, 45 mg of compound 26 was weighed and dissolved in a total volume of 15 mL (1.5 mL DMSO + 13.5 mL 20% HPBC). After weighing, compound 26 was dissolved in the calculated volume of vehicle. To ensure thorough mixing and dissolution, the solution was sonicated to obtain a yellow milky solution. Similar procedures were used for other doses.

[0243] Compound 21 was provided by Brightseed, Inc. as a yellow powder. A vehicle of 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in 20% hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin (HPBC) was used for formulation. Four dose concentrations were prepared: for the 30 mg / kg dose, 45 mg of arginine was weighed and dissolved in a total volume of 15 mL (1.5 mL DMSO + 13.5 mL 20% HPBC). To ensure thorough mixing and dissolution, the solution was sonicated to produce a yellow, milky solution. Similar procedures were used for the other doses.

[0244] Compound 29 was provided by Brightseed, Inc. as an orange powder. For formulation, a vehicle of 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in 20% hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin (HPBC) was used. For a 30 mg / kg dose concentration, 45 mg of compound 29 was weighed and dissolved in a total volume of 15 mL (1.5 mL DMSO + 13.5 mL 20% HPBC). After weighing, compound 29 was dissolved in the calculated volume of vehicle. To ensure thorough mixing and dissolution, the solution was sonicated, adding 10 μL of NaOH each time, and then sonicated again until no solid matter remained, resulting in a thick, dark red solution. A similar procedure was used for all doses.

[0245] Compound 13 was provided by Ambeed, Inc. as a yellow powder. For formulation, a vehicle of 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in 20% hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin (HPBC) was used. For a 30 mg / kg dose concentration, 45 mg of compound 13 was weighed and dissolved in a total volume of 15 mL (1.5 mL DMSO + 13.5 mL 20% HPBC). After weighing, compound 13 was dissolved in the calculated volume of vehicle. To ensure thorough mixing and dissolution, the solution was sonicated, with 10 μL of NaOH added each time, followed by further sonication until no solid material remained, resulting in a bright yellow solution. A similar procedure was used for all doses.

[0246] If three or more adverse reactions (or any serious adverse reactions) occur at a particular dose over a full 60-minute period, the compound is considered to be intolerable. After administration of the compound, the animals are observed for adverse reactions such as pronounced piloerection, abnormal breathing, arched back, vocalization, decreased activity, etc. When the animal shows decreased activity and does not sleep in the cage and stops moving, it is determined to be decreased activity. Mild - slightly decreased activity, with a reaction when stimulated. Moderate - decreased activity, with a weaker reaction when stimulated. Pica means that the animal is eating non-food items, such as bedding. The results of Example 5 are summarized in Table 3 below.

[0247] Table 3. Adverse reaction profiles of different compounds at different time points.

[0248]

[0249] In summary, all animals receiving all four doses (30 mg / kg, 100 mg / kg, 315 mg / kg, and 500 mg / kg) of Compound 26, Compound 21, Compound 29, and Compound 13 can be considered well tolerated.

However, the use of such phrases should not be interpreted as meaning that introducing a claim recitation with the indefinite article "a" or "an" limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to embodiments containing only one such recitation, even if the same claim includes the introductory phrases "one or more" or "at least one" and an indefinite article such as "a" or "an" (e.g., "a and / or an" should be interpreted to mean "at least one" or "one or more"); the same applies to the use of definite articles to introduce claim recitations. Furthermore, even if a specific number of introduced claim recitations is expressly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the mere recitation "two recitations" without other modifiers means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, where a convention similar to "at least one of A, B, and C, etc." is used, such construction is generally intended to be taken in the sense of the convention as understood by those skilled in the art (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" includes but is not limited to systems having only A, only B, only C, both A and B, both A and C, both B and C, and / or both A, B, and C, etc.).

[0251] In the case of the convention of "at least one of A, B, or C", such construction is generally intended to be carried out in the conventional meaning understood by those skilled in the art (for example, "a system having at least one of A, B, or C" includes but is not limited to systems having only A, only B, only C, both A and B, both A and C, both B and C, and / or both A, B, and C, etc.). Those skilled in the art will also understand that, in fact, any transitional words and / or phrases indicating two or more alternative terms, whether in the specification, claims, or drawings, should be understood to include the possibility of including one, either, or both terms. For example, the phrase "A or B" will be understood to include the possibility of "A" or "B" or "A and B".

[0252] In addition, where features or aspects of the disclosure are described in terms of Markush groups, those skilled in the art will recognize that the disclosure is also thereby described in terms of any individual member or subgroup of members of the Markush group.

[0253] Those skilled in the art will understand that, for any and all purposes, such as providing a written description, all ranges disclosed herein also encompass any and all possible subranges and combinations of subranges thereof. Any listed range can be readily understood to fully describe and enable the same range to be broken down into at least equal halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, tenths, and so forth. As a non-limiting example, each range discussed herein can readily be broken down into a lower third, a middle third, and an upper third, and so forth. Those skilled in the art will also understand that all language such as "up to," "at least," "greater than," "less than," and so forth, includes the listed quantity and refers to a range that can subsequently be broken down into subranges as discussed above. Finally, those skilled in the art will understand that a range includes each individual member. Thus, for example, a group having 1 to 3 items refers to groups having 1, 2, or 3 items. Similarly, a group having 1 to 5 items refers to groups having 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 items, and so forth. While various aspects and embodiments have been disclosed herein, those skilled in the art will appreciate other aspects and embodiments. The various aspects and embodiments disclosed herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to be limiting, with the true scope and spirit being indicated by the following claims.
