Abstract:
The present application discloses a method for enhancing the stability of a human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) or a HMO precursor or a HMO blend when stored for extended periods at temperatures above 25 °C by spray-drying an aqueous solution of the HMO or HMO precursor to remove at least 90 % of the water and providing a HMO or a HMO precursor or a HMO blend with a specific glass transition temperature. Also disclosed is a method for removing organic solvent residues from a human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) or a HMO precursor or a HMO blend by spray drying. Also disclosed is a method of enhancing the bioavailability of a human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) or a HMO precursor or a HMO blend by spray drying.
Abstract:
A mixture of, preferably a mixture consisting essentially of, an lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) precursor (1) and an lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) precursor (2), (formula 1, 2), where R is a group removable by hydrogenolysis and R 3 is either a group removable by hydrogenolysis or H, a method of crystallizing 1 and/or 2 from said mixture, and the use of said mixture for making a mixture consisting essentially of LNnT and LNT for use as a pharmaceutically or nutritionally active ingredient. The precursors can be made by reacting an acceptor of formula 5, (formula 5), wherein R is a group removable by hydrogenolysis, R 1 is acyl, Ri is acyl or H, R3 is selected from a group removable by hydrogenolysis, acyl, silyl and an acetal type group and Y is selected from alkanoylamido, haloalkanoylamido, -NAc2, benzamido, alkoxycarbonylamino, haloalkoxycarbonylamino, benzyloxycarbonylamino, azido, phthalimido, tetrachlorophthalimido, 2,3- diphenylmaleimido and 2,3-dimethylmaleimido, with a donor of formula 6, (formula 6), wherein R 4 is acyl and Xi is selected from halogen, -OC(=NH)CCl 3 , -OAc, -OBz or -SR 5 , wherein R 5 is selected from alkyl, substituted phenyl and unsubstituted phenyl, followed by one or more deprotection steps.
