Abstract:
A pharmaceutical composition including a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient; and a natural isoflavone of formula (I), a derivative thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the natural isoflavone, the derivative thereof, or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof being in a therapeutically effective amount for the treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis. A method of treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis, the method including administering to a patient in the need of such treatment—a therapeutically effective amount of a natural isoflavone of formula (I), a derivative thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

A pharmaceutical composition comprising such compound is further described.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of protoescigenin by hydrolysis of escin isolated from Aesculus hippocastanum. The process includes the following steps: a two-step hydrolysis first under acidic and then basic conditions, enrichment of the crude mixture of sapogenins with protoescigenin, an isolation of the mixture of sapogenins in a solid form, and a purification of the obtained solid and isolation of high purity protoescigenin. The invention also relates to protoescigenin monohydrate in a crystalline form and the preparation thereof. Protoescigenin is a polyhydroxy aglycone, which can be used as a synthon in the chemical modifications of naturally occurring saponins.
Abstract:
A convergent synthesis of the prostaglandin F2α analogues, travoprost and bimatoprost, was developed employing Julia-Lythgoe olefination of the structurally advanced phenylsulfone with an enantiomerically pure aldehyde ω-chain synthon. The novel convergent strategy allows the synthesis of a whole series of prostaglandin analogues of high purity from a common and structurally advanced prostaglandin intermediate.
