Immunosuppressant Drug Rapamycin Helps Preserving Female Fertility

Sirolimus (INN/USAN), also known as rapamycin, is an immunosuppressant drug used to prevent rejection in organ transplantation; it is especially useful in kidneytransplants. It prevents activation of T cells and B cells by inhibiting their response tointerleukin-2 (IL-2). A macrolide, sirolimus was discovered by Brazilian researchers as a product of the bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus in a soil sample from Easter Island[1] — an island also known as Rapa Nui.[2] It was approved by the… Continue reading Immunosuppressant Drug Rapamycin Helps Preserving Female Fertility

Pinnick oxidation

The Pinnick oxidation is also known as Lindgren oxidation. It is an organic reaction by which aldehydes can be oxidized into its corresponding carboxylic acid, originally developed by Lindgren and Nilsson.ref1      The typical reaction condition used today was modified by G. A. Kraus even before Pinnick.ref2,3  Pinnick proved this condition as general. There are number of ways to oxidize the aldehydes however, only… Continue reading Pinnick oxidation

US 6894199, Process for the production of xylitol

  (2R,4S)-Pentane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol Xylitol  used to denote sugar alcohols) is a sugar alcohol sweetener used as a sugar substitute. Xylitol has the formula (CHOH)3(CH2OH)2 and is an achiral isomer of pentane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol. Xylitol is roughly as sweet as sucrose with 33% fewer calories. Unlike other sweeteners, xylitol is actively beneficial for dental health, reducing caries to a third in regular use, and has been shown to reduce… Continue reading US 6894199, Process for the production of xylitol
