摘要:
Method for obtaining biologically active mucopolysaccharides by controlled depolymerization of heparin, wherein the quantity of products generating nitrous acid is selected so that those products are totally consumed when the desired depolymerization degree is reached.
摘要:
Short chained ligosaccharides of high structural homogeneity constituted essentially by hexasaccharides of the formula: ##STR1## in which R represents a hydrogen atom or the --SO.sub.3.sup.31 group. These hexasaccharides have a highly selective activity on certain steps in blood coagulation and are useful as anti-thrombotic medicaments.

The oligosaccharidic fractions of the invention are soluble in an hydro-alcoholic mixture 50/50 (v/v) in which is added 0.5% NaCl, at pH 3.8, are constituted by chains the majority of which have 2 to 14 sugar units, are terminated by end units with a 2,5-anhydromanno structure and are devoid or practically devoid of anti-thrombotic activity.

Biological compositions which induce sleep of the slow-wave type which comprise biological carriers and sleep-inducing muramyl peptides such as acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine and derivatives thereof and methods of using such compositions.
摘要:
The compounds have the structure 2-(2-amino or alkyl-amido-2-desoxy-3-O-D-glucopyranosyl)-alkanyl-dipeptide, possibly substituted on the saccharide residue the amino acid residue at the end of the peptide chain being a D-glutamyl residue whose .alpha.-carboxy function is esterified and .gamma.-carboxyl function amidated. The compounds are valuable as immunological medicaments.
摘要:
The invention pertains to a mucopolysaccharide fraction obtainable from heparin or from fractions including heparinic constituents of molecular weights from 2000 to 50,000, which has a Yin-Wessler titer which is high relative to the USP titer. It contains components whose molecular weights are less than 10,000, particularly oligosaccharides in the area of 2000-3000, comprising from 8 to 12, notably 10 monosaccharide units, among which glucosamine units whose primary positions are sulphated. The last mentioned oligosaccharides include one N-acetyl-glucosamine unit per two units of 2-O-sulphate iduronic acid and per two N-sulphate-glucosamine units, the other saccharide units being of a different nature and including distinct substituents.
摘要:
The novel products are water-soluble oligomers, free of N-acetyl-glucosamine units, and of which the monomer elements include a group derived from muramic acid on which is fixed a chain of the peptide type including at least two aminoacyl residues, the first being selected from among: L-alanyl, L-arginyl, L-asparagyl, L-histidyl, L-hydroxyprolyl, L-isoleucyl, L-leucyl, L-methionyl, L-phenylalanyl, L-prolyl, L-seryl, L-threonyl, L-tryptophanyl, L-valyl, and the second aminoacyl is D-glutamyl or D-isoglutaminyl. They are useful for their immunoregulator properties and for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions.
摘要:
The invention relates to novel compounds of the muramyl-peptide type and to their uses. The muramyl-peptides according to the invention comprise at least two aminoacyl residues in the peptide chain, the second of these aminoacyl residues being D-glutamyl, and they are characterized in that the nitrogen of the first amino-acyl, and forming part of the pepetide linkage connecting the muramyl group to the peptide residue, is substituted by an alkyl group. These compounds are useful notably for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions, in particular by reason of their regulatory properties on the immune responses of the organism.
摘要:
Water soluble agents effective as immunological adjuvants for stimulating in the host the immune response to various antigens, comprising an acyl-muramic acid group, wherein acyl means acetyl or glycolyl, and a short peptide chain linked to said acyl-muramic acid group, the first and second amino acids of said peptide chain being preferentially alanine and glutamic acid respectively.
摘要:
The derivatives have the general formula ##STR1## in which X is a hydrogen atom or a methyl, phenyl or benzyl group; Y is a carbon chain comprising 2 to 6 carbon atoms, saturated or unsaturated, unsubstituted or substituted by alkyl, alkoxyl or halogen groups, said chain including if necessary, instead and in place of an aliphatic link, a carbonyl or alcohol group; Z is constituted by a hydrogen atom or defines at least an alkyl, alkoxyl or halogen group fixed at any position of the quinolinyl nucleus. They have high anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities.
