Abstract:
Enzyme-based systems and methods for synthesizing the NAD precursors NMN and NaMN are disclosed. Such methods and systems utilize a mutated form of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase (PRS) that is superactive and/or other enzyme or enzyme combinations that are immobilized onto a solid surface. The methods and systems substantially increase the efficiency and yield of NAD precursor synthesis.

In further embodiments, the invention relates to methods of using one or more NR, NAR, NRH, or NARH derivatives, or prodrugs, solvates, or salts thereof, to promote the increase of intracellular levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in cells and tissues for improving cell and tissue survival and overall cell and tissue health.
Abstract:
The subject of the invention is a new way of using thermolabile groups to protect a hydroxyl function, above all in nucleosides, nucleotides, oligomers, nucleic acids during the reactions of organic synthesis. The invention also covers new compounds that can be used to implement the procedure New compounds of general formula 1. New compounds of general formula 3. The way of using thermolabile groups to protect hydroxyl functions consists in a primary, secondary and tertiary hydroxyl group converting into a group of general formula 3 during the reaction between a compound of general formula 1 and a compound whose hydroxyl group is to be blocked. The blocking reaction is carried out by means of widely known methods appropriate for that purpose in the presence of a chemically basic catalyst. The obtained product has its hydroxyl group blocked. Then the compound with the group blocked can be used for the purposes of various chemical processes. After their completion, the hydroxyl group is unblocked by dissolving it in a solvent at a temperature of 50-95°C.

Abstract:
A process of preparing an alpha-anomer enriched 2- deoxy-2 , 2-dif luoro-D-ribofunanosyl sulfonate, which is useful as an intermediate in the preparation of a beta nucleoside, such as gemcitabine, an anti-tumor agent. A beta-2-deoxy-2, 2-difluoro-D-ribofunanosyl sulfonate is heated and converted to an alpha-2-deoxy-2, 2-difluoro-D- ribofunanosyl sulfonate in the absence of an effective amount of a sulfonate salt to facilitate the conversion. In addition, an anomeric mixture of an alpha-anomer and a beta-anomer of 2-deoxy-2, 2-difluoro-D-ribofunanosyl sulfonate can be dissolved in a mixture of water and a solvent and heated to produce a lactol, which may be further converted to jan alpha-anomer enriched 2-deoxy- 2 , 2-difluoro-D-ribofunanosyl sulfonate .
