摘要:
A novel peptide having molecular weight of 31,000 (SDS-PAGE) is obtained from aqueous extract of Natto or the culture of Bacillus natto by purification procedures including alcohol fractionation and/or salting out and hydrophobic chromatography, and the physicochemical properties, including the amino acid sequence, of the peptide are determined. The peptide is active in fibrinolysis, exhibits strong thrombolytic activity by oral administration and is useful as an oral thrombolytic agent.
摘要:
There are provided thrombolytic agents suited for oral administration. The agent comprises a proteolytic enzyme of subtilisin family, such as subtilisin BPN', subtilisin Carsberg, subtilisin amylosacchariticus, etc., produced by microorganisms belonging to genus Bacillus, such as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, etc. and, even when administered orally, exhibits thrombolytic activity.
摘要:
Human urine kallikrein dissolved in water is made heat-stable by the addition of a citric acid salt such as sodium citrate, so that an aqueous solution containing the kallikrein and the citric acid salt can be sterilized at 60.degree. to 70.degree. C.
摘要:
The thermal degradation of urokinase in an aqueous solution is suppressed by heating an aqueous solution containing urokinase in the presence of citric acid or a water-soluble salt thereof such as sodium, potassium or lithium citrate at about 60.degree. C. for about 10 hours.
摘要:
Two components, trypsin and kallidinogenase, in human urine are concentrated simultaneously by allowing human urine at neutral pH, collecting bubbles thus formed to obtain the concentrate of the two components, adjusting the concentrate to weak acidity, contacting the acidified concentrate with chitosan to allow the two components to be adsorbed onto chitosan, eluting the components from the adsorbent with aqueous ammonia solution, and neutralizing and heating the eluate at about 60.degree. C. for about 10 hours to make the eluate virus-free, followed by separating the components from the eluate.
摘要:
Human urinary kallikrein is concentrated and purified by the following procedures; (a) Human urine is contacted with chitosan, a high molecular agglutinant obtained from chitin, at a pH from 4.0 to 7.0, thereby kallikrein is adsorbed on the chitosan and (b) kallikrein is eluted from the chitosan with an aqueous alkaline solution having a pH from 8.0 to 12.0.
摘要:
Secretory immunoglobulin A preparations substantially not containing virus are produced by a process wherein secretory immunoglobulin A which might be contaminated with viruses is (1) heated about 60.degree. C. for about 10 hours, or (2) subjected to the reaction with tri-n-butyl phosphate and a surfactant and the heating as mentioned above, as liquidized form in an aqueous medium, and then polymerized matters are precipitated from the resulting solution by adding polyethyleneglycol thereto.
摘要:
A modified superoxide dismutase represented by the formula: ##STR1## (wherein R is as defined below; SOD is a residue of superoxide dismutase) is produced, in a shortened period of reaction with a high and constant modification ratio, by reacting a polymeric carbonyldiimidazole derivative represented by the formula: ##STR2## (wherein R is a residue of a water soluble polymer having an average molecular weight of about 2,000 to 10,000) with superoxide dismutase in the presence of a buffer having a pH of 9.0 to 11.0 and a concentration of 0.1 M to 0.5 M, preferably 0.2 M to 0.4 M, at a temperature of 30.degree. to 70.degree. C., preferably 45.degree. to 60.degree. C. The modified superoxide dismutase thus produced exhibits a suitably prolonged blood half-life.
摘要:
An inhibitor of the proliferation of herpesviruses and of the recurrence of affections caused by their latent infection, which is an active material obtained by fractional purification of the aqueous extract from cultured Lentinus edodes mycelia.
摘要:
An anti-inflammatory agent comprising as an active component an inhibitor specifically inhibiting a thiol protease, which is obtained from human urine by extraction and purification. This agent has an action of inhibiting a disease caused by a thiol protease. This anti-inflammatory agent is prepared by a process in which a thiol protease inhibitor is extracted and purified from human urine by adopting in combination at least two treatments selected from a treatment with a molecular filter, a treatment with an ion exchanger, a treatment with an adsorber and an affinity chromatographic treatment.
