Bifuncitonal chelating pyridine compound and its use for conferring chelating properties on organic compounds. The pyridine compound has the structure where (i) n is an integer 1 or 2, (ii) R1, R2 and R3 represent groups that have no electrons capable of significantly delocalizing or resonating with the pyridine ring, such as hydrogen, alkyl or aralkyl having an aliphatic carbon atom next to the pyridine ring; at least two of R1, R2 and R3 being hydrogen, iii) Z an Z' represent identical or different structures, each of which comprises at least one heteroatom having a free pair of electrons as that the said at least one heteroatom together with the nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring is capable of chelating a metal ion, iv) - - - - specifies that the group X-Y is a substituent replacing a hydrogen anywhere in the parent pyridine compound, and v) X-Y represents an organic group which is inert to said chelation, and in which iX is an inert and stable bridge and Y is a functional group or a residue of an organic compounbd that has properties conferred on the compound of formula II; said group X-Y being linked to the pyridine ring of formula II via an aliphatic carbon atom attached to and acid ester, salt and chelate forms thereof involving at least one of said chelating heteroatoms.

A chelate formed between Eu3+, Tb3+, Dy3+ and Sm3+ and a compound having the formula STR1 where A1-6 are single carbon or nitrogen atoms; n=1 or 2; R1-6 is nothing when A is a nitrogen, and hydrogen or an organic group when A is a carbon; Z and Z' are selected among --N(CH2 CH2 COO-)2, --N(CH2 COO-)2, --N(CH2 OPO32-)2 and --N(CH2 PO32-)2 ;--species that --X--Y is a substituent replacing a hydrogen anywhere in the parent compound; and --X--Y represents an organic group containing no chelating heteroatom closer than four atoms from a chelating heteroatom in the parent compound and X is a stable bridge containing certain groups and Y is selected from (a) specified relative groups allowing coupling to other compounds and (b) residues of compounds participating in biospecific affinity reactions.
Low-molecular weight peptide mixture and method of producing same
-
, (2008/06/13)
A method of producing a low-molecular weight peptide mixture, comprising the steps of dissolving a first protease in a buffer solution adjusted to an optimum pH for the protease ranging from pH 3 to 10, adding at least one first protein in a buffer solution having a pH of from 3 to 10 and a concentration of 10 to 60% by weight of the protein material and thoroughly mixing the solution, adding a solution of an ester of at least one amino acid pre-formed by esterification of the amino acid with an alcohol, the pH of said buffer solution being optimum for the incorporation of said amino acid in said starting protein in the presence of said first protease in a plastein reaction, reacting said ester of at least one amino acid with said starting protein in a plastein reaction in the mixed solution whereby said at least one amino acid is covalently incorporated into said starting protein to produce a plastein reaction solution containing a modified protein, hydrolyzing said modified protein using at least one second protease having a different specificity from said at least one first protease to produce a low-molecular weight peptide mixture having an amino acid content which has different proportions of amino acids than does said starting protein, and separating from the solution said low-molecular weight peptide mixture which comprises a major proportion of dipeptides and tripeptides and containing not more than 15% by weight of free amino acids and not more than 20% by weight of a high-molecular weight fraction of compounds having a molecular weight of not lower than 700 and removable by gel filtration. The said low-molecular weight peptide mixture is readily absorbable and a useful nutrient.
