Patent
- Inventor(s):
- John H. Adams, Malcolm J. Fraser, Bharath Balu, Douglas A. Shoue
- Patent Number:
- US 7932088 B2
- Description:
The present invention provides molecular methods for efficiently transforming the genome of common disease-transmitting parasites, such as Plasmodium falciparum. The transformation efficiencies are improved up to 100 times over those conventionally known. The methods provide high saturation of the target parasite genome, of 50% or greater, and target non-specifically TTAA-rich sites in the parasite genome. The invention also discloses a model that may be used to functionally annotate the geno…

- Patent Number:
- US 4845229 B2
- Description:
A stereoselective process for chiral intermediates to 1-carbapenem and 1-carbacephalosporins is provided comprising the use of an N-acyl-(4R)-substituted-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione as a chiral auxiliary in boron enolate mediated aldol condensation with a protected-.beta.-keto ester aldehyde. E.g., benzyl 3,3-(ethylenedioxy)-4-formylbutyrate is condensed with the boron enolate formed with n-butyryl (4R)-methoxycarbonyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione to provide benzyl 3,3-ethylenedioxy-(5R)-hydroxy-6…

Patent
- Inventor(s):
- Gaetano Francis D'Alelio
- Patent Number:
- US 4118377 B2
- Description:
Processes for increasing the molecular weight of bis-maleimides are provided. The bis-maleimides are reacted with certain cyclic dienes to form reversible adducts. These adducts, upon elimination of the cyclic diene, yield an extension of the bis-maleimides to higher molecular weight polymers, ultimately to thermally stable, infusible polymers. The process can be interrupted to yield tractable polymers which are also convertible to cross-linked, infusible products. Modifications of the proces…

- Description:
Bicyclic .beta.-lactams comprising a 5- or 6-membered lactone or lactam ring are obtained in a process comprising a base induced intramolecular cyclization of a 4-substututed .beta.-lactam having a leaving group in the 1-position. An intramolecular nucleophile transfer reaction is proposed as the operative mechanism and the bicyclic .beta.-lactams are obtained in the required stereochemical form for biological activity. The compounds provided are useful intermediates for the preparation of an…

- Description:
N-Mono or N-disubstituted methyl-2-azetidinones are provided via cyclization of .beta.-hydroxy or .beta.-halo substituted acid sec-amides wherein the amide nitrogen is substituted with a mono- or di-substituted methyl group having activating substituents. Cyclization of .beta.-hydroxy acid amides is mediated by triphenylphosphine-dialkylazodicarboxylate while cyclization of .beta.-halo acid amides is mediated by strong bases e.g. lithium dialkylamides. E.g. Diethyl amino-protected L-serylamin…

- Description:
Aromatic polyimides with amine end groups are chain-extended (molecular weight increased) by reacting them with aromatic di- or tri- anhydrides. The reaction can either be at a temperature above the melting point of the reactants or in solvents for the reactants. The polyimides can be shaped and formed prior to chain-extending.

- Description:
The present invention is directed to transgenic plants having nucleic acid sequences encoding Dendroides canadensis thermal hysteresis proteins. The THPs of Dendroides have significantly greater thermal hysteresis activity than any other known anti-freeze protein. The thermal hysteresis activity of the purified THPs can be further enhanced by combining the THPs with various “activating” compounds.
