Abstract:
This invention is concerned with an improved process for the synthesis of and intermediate en route to 5,6-dihydro-(s)-4-(ethylamino)-(s)-6-methyl-4h-thieno[2,3-b]thiopyran-2-sulfonamide 7,7-dioxide and related compounds. The instant process reduces the reaction time for the synthesis of the key intermediate from 3 to 4 days to from about 2 to about 4 hours while retaining the high enantiomeric purity of the product.
Abstract:
The chiral catalyst of general structure 1, or its enantiomer ##STR1## is prepared by treating the corresponding N-carboxy anhydride of structure 2 ##STR2## with an aryl metal, especially a phenyl metal such as an aryl magnesium halide, aryl lithium, aryl zinc or aryl cesium, to form a 1,1-diaryl- methanol of structure 3 ##STR3## followed by treatment with a compound of structure, 4 ##STR4## The catalyst, wherein R is aromatic, is novel and in some cases superior to the catalyst wherein R is alkyl or aralkyl in directing the chirality of diborane, borane-dimethyl sulfide or borane-tetrahydrofuran reductions of ketones to secondary alcohols.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a monophosphorylated cyclic lipopeptide compound obtained by biophosphorylating a cyclic lipopeptide related to echinocandins and having a peptide skeleton bearing several hydroxy groups wherein in the phosphorylated cyclic lipopeptide, the phosphate group is attached to the hydroxy group of the 4-hydroxyproline component of the lipopeptide. The compounds are useful for the control of fungi and parasites.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for producing lipid nanoparticles encapsulating therapeutic products, said process comprising: a) providing one or more aqueous solutions in one or more reservoirs; b) providing one or more organic solutions in one or more reservoirs, wherein one or more of the organic solutions contains a lipid and wherein one or more of the aqueous solutions and/or one or more of the organic solutions includes therapeutic products; c) mixing said one or more aqueous solutions with said one or more organic solutions in a first mixing region, wherein said first mixing region is a Multi-Inlet Vortex Mixer (MIVM), wherein said one or more aqueous solutions and said one or more organic solutions are introduced tangentially into a mixing chamber within the MIVM so as to substantially instantaneously produce a lipid nanoparticle solution containing lipid nanoparticles encapsulating therapeutic products.
