Abstract:
Disclosed are infant formulas comprising at least about 6.5 g/L, on an as-fed basis, of an enriched whey protein concentrate, at least about 0.13% docosahexaenoic acid by weight of total fatty acids, and at least about 0.25% arachidonic acid by weight of total fatty acids. The formulas also typically include at least about 5 mg/L of gangliosides, at least about 150 mg/L of phospholipids, and at least about 70 mg/L of total sialic acid with at least about 2.5% as lipid-bound sialic acid, all of which are provided in whole or in part from the enriched whey protein concentrate. Also disclosed are methods of accelerating brain development, neural migration, and cognitive development in an infant by administering the infant formulas during the first 2-4 months of life, preferably as a sole source of nutrition.
Abstract:
Disclosed are infant formulas comprising, on an as-fed basis (A) at least about 5 mg/L of gangliosides, (B) at least about 150 mg/L of phospholipids, (C) lactoferrin, and (D) at least about 70 mg/L of sialic acid, with at least about 2.5% by weight of the sialic acid as lipid-bound sialic acid. From about 50% to 100% by weight of each of the gangliosides, phospholipids, lactoferrin, and sialic acid is provided by an enriched whey protein concentrate, with the concentrate representing at least about 6.5 g/L of the formula on an as-fed basis. Also disclosed are methods of using the formula to reduce the risk of diarrhea infants, and to produce a gut microflora profile similar to that of breast-fed infants.

Abstract:
The subject invention relates to monovalent oligosaccharides and their use, for example, in the treatment and prevention of mammalian disease caused by HIV-1 virus infections. In particular, the oligosaccharides globotriose and lactose may be used alone or in combination to competitively inhibit the formation of the viral fusion complex that occurs upon infection.
Abstract:
The present invention describes an efficient and economical process for the preparation of a 2,3-disubstituted 2-phenyl-1h-phenantrho[9,10-d]imidazole derivative that is useful for the large scale production of material for preclinical and clinical use. The process of the present invention represents a convergent approach to generate the 2,3-disubstituted 2-phenyl-1h-phenantrho[9,10-d]imidazole derivative in high overall yield. The compound made by the process of the invention is an inhibitor of the microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) enzyme and is therefore useful to treat pain and/or inflammation from a variety of diseases or conditions, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and acute or chronic pain.
