The processes can include contacting crude L-Citrulline in an aqueous solution with an adsorptive medium at a temperature above approximately 50° C. and below the temperature of denaturement for the L-Citrulline for an interval sufficient to remove at least one contaminant from the L-Citrulline. The processes can also include concentrating the dissolved L-Citrulline relative to the aqueous solution.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2008Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Global Strategic Connections, LLCInventors: Hua Bai, Peijie Yang, Zhengjie Chen, Chongyang Xu, Zhaorul Li, Zigang Zhao, Luyan Jiang, Zongyi Yang, Jiang Li

Publication number: 20120107835Abstract: A method for detecting ?-amyloid using an amino acid dimer instead of a secondary antibody binding to the ?-amyloid primary antibody in an immunoassay based on an antigen-antibody reaction, and a kit for detecting ?-amyloid including the dimer. The method is advantageous in that the dimer has good properties in stability, availability, and storage compared to antibodies and that it can detect various ?-amyloids by using one kind of antibody, and thus may be effectively used in early diagnosis and research of Alzheimer's disease.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2011Publication date: May 3, 2012Applicant: ELECTRONICS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventor: Hyo Bong Hong

Publication number: 20120095096Abstract: The disclosure provides a series of 2-oxoamides based on dipeptides and pseudodipeptides, which were synthesized and their activities toward two human intracellular phospholipases A2 (GIVA CPLA2 and GVIA 1PLA2) and one human secretory phospholipase A2 (GVsPLA2) were evaluated. Derivatives containing a free carboxyl group are selective GIVA cPLA2 inhibitors. A derivative based on the ethyl ester of an ether pseudodipeptide is the first 2-oxoamide, which preferentially inhibits GVIA iPLA2. The effect of 2-oxoamides on the generation of arachidonic acid from RAW 264.7 macrophages was also studied. It was found that selective GIVA cPLA2 inhibitors preferentially inhibited cellular arachidonic acid release; in which one pseudodipeptide gave an IC50 value of 2 ?M.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2010Publication date: April 19, 2012Applicant: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Edward A.
