摘要:
A pullulan derivative having one or more active sites resulting from introduction of sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, a sulfonic acid or a carboxylic acid, wherein one hydrogen atom of the group of the formula ##STR1## occurring at said active sites is partly substituted by a group of the general formula ##STR2## wherein L.sup.1 and L.sup.2 each independently is amine or a unidentate ligand amine or combinedly represent a bidentate ligand amine and Y is an anionic ligand, and/or two hydrogen atoms of the group ##STR3## groups bound to one and the same carbon atom or to two neighboring carbon atoms as occurring at said active sites are, each independently, partly substituted by a group of the general formula ##STR4## wherein L.sup.1 and L.sup.2 are as defined above, and a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof.The above compound has anticancer activity and is useful as anticancer agents.The present invention is concerned with said compound, a process for producing the same and a pharmaceutical use thereof.
摘要:
A continuous method for purifying pullulan characterized in that two or more tanks containing aqueous solvent solutions of different concentrations are installed in a series wherein the solvent concentrations are always kept lower than the one following, and comprising successively ejecting an aqueous pullulan solution into the first tank to form a mixture wherein pullulan particles are suspended keeping the aqueous solvent solution constantly at a higher concentration than that necessary for precipitating the pullulan particles, separating the pullulan particle suspension from the mixture, transferring the separated pullulan particle suspension into an adjoining tank, repeating such steps, at least once, to dehydrate the pullulan particles and then successively recovering the dehydrated pullulan in a power form from the last tank.
摘要:
Hydrogenated pullulan is produced by the reaction of an aqueous solution of pullulan with hydrogen gas under pressure in the presence of suitable catalysts until the reducing property of the solution disappears. The hydrogenated pullulan is much more resistant to heat than pullulan and its aqueous solution hardly loses viscosity and is not colored under heat treatment. The hydrogenated pullulan is much less absorbable by the intestinal walls than pullulan so as to reduce more effectively the caloric value of foods when it is mixed with foods. Shaped bodies such as films, sheets, plates, capsules, containers, coatings and fibers are readily prepared in a conventional manner. The films are practically impervious to atmospheric oxygen and suitable as packaging material.
