Abstract: A manumycin-type metabolite called Colabomycin E which inhibits caspase 1 and creation of interleukins, strain produces the Colabomycin E and a method of a production of the Colabomycin E. Colabomycin E is a new member of the manumycin-type metabolites produced by the strain Streptomyces aureus SOK1/5-04 deposited in The Czech collection of microorganisms under number CCM8556. The structure of 5 is similar to that of the already known metabolite colabomycin A (3) isolated from Streptomyces griseoflavus. However, the upper polyene chain of 5 is two carbons longer. Therefore, it was named Colabomycin E. Biological activity assays indicated that colabomycin E significantly inhibited IL-1? release from THP-1 cells and might thus potentially act as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a process for preparing a product rich in epichlorohydrin, comprising the steps of: a) reacting a mixture of dichlorohydrin and a base at a temperature in the range of 0-40° C. during a period of time in the range from 1 second to 180 minutes, wherein the base is present in a less than stoichiometric amount, to obtain a reaction mixture comprising epichlorohydrin and brine; b) subjecting at least part of the reaction mixture to a separation step to form a product fraction which is rich in epichlorohydrin and a brine fraction which is lean in epichlorohydrin; c) subjecting at least part of the brine fraction to a purification step to yield a purified brine. It has been found that the process according to the invention allows the manufacture of epichlorohydrin from dichlorohydrin on an industrial scale at high yield, while at the same time providing a brine with a low total organic carbon content without extensive separation being necessary.

Abstract: A process for making a cyclic compounds such as cyclic acetal or cyclic ketones by feeding aldehyde or ketone compounds and polyhydroxyl compounds to a reaction zone at a molar ratio of polyhydroxyl compounds to aldehyde or ketone compounds of at least 3:1, reacting these compounds in the presence of a solid acid such as an acidic ion exchange resin, to generate a liquid reaction mixture without separating water from the reaction mixture as it is being formed in the reaction mixture, withdrawing the liquid reaction mixture from the reaction zone as a liquid product stream, and feeding the liquid reaction product stream to a distillation column to separate cyclic acetal compounds from unreacted polyhydroxyl compounds, and optionally recycling back the unreacted polyhydroxyl compounds to the reaction zone. The process produces cyclic acetal compounds in yields of at least 90% with long catalyst life. The process is also suitable to make cyclic ketals from ketone compounds.
