  • Patent number: 11685724
    Abstract: The present invention relates to intermediate compounds for the synthesis of novel cannabinoids 1 and 2, synthesized from simple starting materials using a cascade sequence of allylic rearrangement, aromatization and, for tetracyclic cannabinoids, further highly stereoselective and regioselective cyclization. These synthesized cannabinoids can more easily be obtained at high purity levels than cannabinoids isolated or synthesized via known methods. The cannabinoids 2 are obtained containing very low levels of isomeric cannabinoids such as the undesirable ?8-tetrahydrocannabinol. The analogues with variation in aromatic ring substituents, whilst easily synthesized with the new methodology, would be much more difficult to make from any of the components of cannabis oil. Novel compounds of the formulas 3 and 6, useful as intermediates for the synthesis of the cannabinoids of advanced intermediates 4 and 5 as well as cannabinoids of the formulas 1 and 2, are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11633491
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of silica-forming peptides (SFPs) Volp1 and Salp1 for protein fusion tags for protein purification, silica formation and self-encapsulation, and controlled release of biomolecules. After preparing a fusion protein containing the Volp1 or Salp1 peptide at the C-terminal of the protein, the adsorption conditions for silica (SiO2) surface were optimized. As a result, a high-purity fusion protein could be purified without an additional tag for purification. The fusion protein containing the silica-forming peptide was self-encapsulated and stably immobilized in the silica matrix through reaction with a silica precursor. The Volp1 and Salp1 peptides showed stronger adsorption ability for silica than the previously known R5 peptide. Using these characteristics, a silica complex wherein two proteins are encapsulated was prepared by mixing the R5 fusion protein with the Volp1 or Salp1 fusion protein.

  • Patent number: 11634399
    Abstract: Compositions of furan based surfactants derived from unsaturated carbon-containing molecules, such as fatty acids, as well as methods for forming furan based surfactants from unsaturated carbon-containing molecules, such as fatty acids, are disclosed herein. These compositions and methods can utilize long-chain (e.g., C14-C26) unsaturated carbon-containing molecules, for instance unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid or methyl oleate from soybean oil, to derive oleo-furan surfactants. To facilitate this, certain such embodiments include reaction steps that cleave the reactant molecule (e.g., methyl oleate) at the double bond and subsequently oxidize products to form a carboxylic acid molecule and a dicarboxylic acid molecule. In such embodiments, these two acids can be subsequently acylated with furan and functionalized to form surfactants.
