Abstract: The present invention relates to novel prodrugs of pharmaceutical compounds containing one or more N—H bonds. More specifically, the present embodiment of the invention relates to prodrugs wherein sulfur-containing promoieties are attached to pharmaceutical compounds which contain one or more N—H bonds to produce prodrugs containing at least one N—S bond. These N—S bond-containing prodrugs could have optimized stability, solubility, cell membrane permeability, pharmacokinetic properties and other pharmaceutical properties over the pharmaceutical compounds from which they are formed, depending upon the nature of the promoiety. Reversion of the prodrug to the parent pharmaceutical compound occurs by the reaction of the prodrugs with thiol molecules such as cysteine, glutathione or any other thiol containing molecule.

Abstract: There is herein disclosed a process for preparing a carboxypolysaccharide by oxidizing a polysaccharide with a combination of a transition metal compound and an oxidizing agent, said process comprising the step of separating the transition metal from a reaction mixture with a chelating agent. According to the present invention, the transition metal can be removed to a low concentration of less than 100 ppm from an aqueous solution including the transition metal and the tricarboxypolysaccharide. The process of the present invention is important to reduce the loss of a transition metal catalyst such as the ruthenium catalyst and to industrially manufacture a purified tricarboxypolysaccharide.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for producing pharmaceutical-grade particulate dithiocarbamates from secondary amines by vigorously contacting at least one secondary amine and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent that is a solvent for the carbon disulfide, but not for the secondary amine in an inert gas atmosphere, cooling the mixture so as to precipitate the dithiocarbamate therefrom, and separating the precipitated dithiocarbamate from the cooled mixture. The preferred solvent contains absolute ethanol. In alternative embodiments, the invention further provides methods for purifying a dithiocarbamate to obtain a pharmaceutical-grade dithiocarbamate particulate from a dithiocarbamate feed and methods for producing a sterile pharmaceutical-grade dithiocarbamate from a dithiocarbamate feed.

Abstract: Stable, urea-sulfuric acid reaction products of predetermined composition containing mono- and/or diurea sulfates and less than 35 weight percent water are produced from concentrated, urea-sulfuric acid reaction product feeds of different compositions by simultaneously and separately adding a selected feed solution and reactant urea and/or sulfuric acid, and optionally water, to a reaction zone in stoichiometric proportions so that the composition of the total feed to the reaction zone corresponds to the predetermined composition. Reaction temperature is maintained at a level below the incipient decomposition temperature of the predetermined composition, and the resulting products are essentially or completely free of sulfamic acid and/or ammonium sulfamate.
