摘要:
Cross-linked esters of hyaluronic acid are provided which result from the esterification of polyhydric alcohols with two or more carboxy groups of the hyaluronic acid polysaccharide. These cross-linked esters are useful in the field of biodegradable plastics for sanitary and surgical articles and in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields for the preparation of useful compositions and articles.
摘要:
Organic amide compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 --CO is a residue of a carboxylic acid with the proviso that the carboxylic acid is not a natural fatty acid normally bound to nitrogen of nitrogenous lipids, R.sub.2 is a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1-7 alkyl group, or a C.sub.4-7 cycloalkyl group, and R.sub.3-N is a residue of a nitrogenous lipid. The compounds are useful in increasing or stimulating the in vivo biological activity of in vitro biologically active carboxylic acids.
摘要:
Novel N-acyl-lysogangliosides obtained from gangliosides by deacyation of the ceramide group, wherein the acyl group is derived from an aliphatic acid having from 2 to 24 carbon atoms, substituted by one or more polar groups. The N-acyl-lysogangliosides of the invention exhibit an inhibiting action on protein-kinase C activation and, thus, can be utilized in therapies for various pathologies of the nervous system.
摘要:
Two pharmaceutically useful fractions of hyaluronic acid are obtained comprising a first fraction with a molecular weight between 50,000 and 100,000 which is useful for wound healing, and a second fraction having a molecular weight between 500,000 and 730,000 which is useful for intraocular and intraarticular injections.
摘要:
Novel derivatives of lysophingolipids free from sialic acids which are N-acyllysosphingolipids having one of the two formulae: ##STR1## in which -A- stands for the group --CH.dbd.CH-- or --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --, n.sub.1 is a whole number of between 6 and 18, n.sub.2 is a whole number of between 11 and 15, X is a hydrogen atom or the residue of a monosaccharide or a disaccharide or phosphorylcholine and R represents an alkyl radical derived from a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic carboxylic acid having from 2 to 24 carbon atoms substituted by one or more polar groups. The lysosphingolipid derivatives of the invention exhibit an inhibiting action on protein-kinase C activation and, thus, can be utilized in therapies for various pathologies of the nervous system.
摘要:
The present invention is drawn to medical devices comprised of biodegradable guide channels for use in repair and regeneration of nerve tissue. The guide channels are comprised of threads embedded in a matrix and coextruded with active factors wherein both the matrix and the threads are comprised of biocompatible and bioabsorbable esters of hyaluronic acid.
摘要:
Inter and/or intramolecular cross-linked esters of acid polysaccharides are disclosed in which a part or all of the carboxy groups are esterified with hydroxyl groups of the same molecule and/or of different molecules of the acid polysaccharide. These inner cross-linked esters of polysaccharide acids are useful in the field of biodegradable plastic materials, to manufacture sanitary and surgical articles, in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical fields, in the food industry and in many other industrial fields.
摘要:
N-acyl-N,N'-dilysogangliosides, wherein the acyl groups are derived from unsubstituted aliphatic acids having from 1 to 11 carbon atoms, and N'-acyl-N,N'-dilysogangliosides and N,N'-di-acyl-N,N'-dilysogangliosides, in which the acyl groups are derived from unsubstituted aliphatic acids having from 1 to 24 carbon atoms (with the exception of certain acetyl and diacetyl derivatives). The compounds of the invention exhibit an inhibiting action on protein kinase C activation and, thus, can be utilized in therapies for various pathologies of the nervous system. Pharmaceutical compositions and therapeutic utilities for the lysoganglioside derivatives are also disclosed.
摘要:
New polysaccharide esters are disclosed, and more precisely esters of acidic polysaccharides chosen from the group formed by carboxymethylcellulose, carboxymethyl starch and carboxymethylchitin. These new esters and some esters of the type already known are useful as medicaments, for the manufacture of pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations, in the field of biodegradable plastic materials and, therefore, for the manufacture of medical, surgical and sanitary articles, as well as numerous other industrial sectors in the place of acidic polysaccharides now in common use.
