Abstract:
Provided is a drug delivery system for control of initial burst of a drug. More particularly, there are provided a drug delivery formulation including: a granule containing a biodegradable polymer and a drug; and a temperature-sensitive hydrogel, and a method for preparing the same. The presently disclosed drug delivery formulation can be prepared via a relatively simple process and allows a drug to be released slowly at a constant rate without initial burst and thus maintains a constant blood level of the drug for a long period of time. Consequently, it is capable of preventing the initial burst of the existing injection-type drug delivery formulations and slow-release granules and providing a desired release profile, including sustained release with time.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for preparing a taxane derivative, comprising: carrying out condensation of a phenylisoserine derivatives having a protective group introduced thereto or a mixture of isomers thereof, as a side chain, with a baccatin III derivative or 10-deacetyl-baccatin III derivative to obtain a mixture of isomers; separating the isomers via chromatography; and carrying out a reversion of the stereochemical structure of a selectively separated isomer, which is suitable for producing a taxane derivative in a large scale with high yield.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to a method for efficiently separating and purifying 13-dehydroxybaccatin III and 10-deacetylpaclitaxel with a high purity of 90% or higher purity, preferably 99.5% or higher purity, from taxane-containing materials such as Taxus species, and the thusly obtained highly pure 13-dehydroxybaccatin III and 10-deacetylpaclitaxel can be used as semi-synthetic precursors of paclitaxel and/or docetaxel that are anticancer agents.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for selectively detecting an extremely small amount of peptidoglycan in sample, a preparation method of the composition, and a detection kit for peptidoglycan. It is possible to quantify a small amount of peptidoglycan contained in human blood, tissue, body fluid, water or food, and to diagnose an infection of microorganism with peptidoglycan as a component of cell wall using the composition and the detection kit. In addition, the composition can be applied for a diagnosis reagent of detecting an infection of Gram-positive bacteria in animal or human being in advance, and thus, can be used for the prevention or treatment of food poisonings and bacterial sepsis.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to preparation and application of a temperature-sensitive polyethylene glycol/polyester block copolymer having a bioactive functional group introduced into a side chain thereof. More specifically, it relates to a temperature-sensitive polyethylene glycol/polyester block copolymer including a lactide segment having a bioactive functional group introduced into a side chain thereof and a method for preparing same. The temperature-sensitive polyethylene glycol/polyester block copolymer according to the present invention having a bioactive functional group introduced into a side chain thereof can be widely used as a drug delivery system, a support for tissue engineering, an adhesion inhibitor, etc.

Abstract:
A method for preparing highly pure anhydrous crystalline docetaxel is provided. The method for preparing highly pure anhydrous crystalline docetaxel enables preparation of anhydrous crystalline docetaxel that has purity of 99.5% or more, and is useful as an anticancer agent due to remarkably low residual solvent content compared to the standard of residual solvents in drugs.
Abstract:
This invention relates to methods for purification of paclitaxel from a paclitaxel-containing material. The method comprises the following steps: (a) extracting a paclitaxel-containing material with an organic solvent to obtain an extract, and concentrating the extract; (b) adding the concentrate with an organic solvent which is not mixed with water to separate an organic solvent phase and then concentrating; (c) subjecting the concentrate to normal phase chromatography to obtain an eluate; (d) dissolving the eluate in an acetone or dichloromethane followed by adding pentane or hexane to form a precipitate; and (e) subjecting the precipitate to high performance liquid chromatography. According to the method of the present invention, paclitaxel of over 99.5% purity can be easily obtained from a Taxus genus plant with a high yield.
