  • Patent number: 8178663
    Abstract: The present invention relates to hyaluronic acid ester derivatives, whose carboxylic groups are partially esterified with hydroxy groups of propiophenone derivatives, to the hydrogel materials consisting of the said hyaluronic acid ester derivatives, to their preparation process by photocuring of the hyaluronic acid ester derivatives, and their use in the biomedical, sanitary and surgical fields, and in the medical field as controlled release systems for drugs.

  • Publication number: 20120114609
    Abstract: The present invention regards a biological material comprising: a) a liquid carrier comprising a viscous solution containing at least one natural and/or semisynthetic polysaccharide, and having a Dynamic viscosity measured at 20° C. and at shear rate of D=350 s?1, comprised between 100 and 250 c Poise and/or a Kinematic viscosity comprised between 99 and 248cSt (measured at the same conditions); b) a culture of mesenchymal stem cells, and/or c) a platelet-rich hemo-derivative. This type of material in form of viscous liquid is particularly suitable for the therapy of osteoarthrosis, ligament damage, in particular tendon and cartilage damage) and may be administered intra-articularly, intradermally or directly applied in situ without altering the properties of the mesenchymal stem cells and/or platelets contained therein.

  • Publication number: 20120101059
    Abstract: The object of the present invention relates to the new and surprising use of sulfated hyaluronic acid (HAS) as regulator agent of the cytokine activity (pro- and anti-inflammatory) and consequently the use of HAS for the preparation of a new medicine for the prevention and treatment of pathologies associated with the activation and/or deficiency of cytokines of a pro- and anti-inflammatory nature. The Applicant has in fact discovered its exclusive capacity in modulating the activity of these particular proteins, it has studied the action mechanism and demonstrated the substantial difference between the different sulfated types known in the state of the art, but above all it has demonstrated an unexpectedly high activity of HAS vs different types and strains of Herpes virus, HIV, Cytomegalovirus and the virus of vesicular stomatitis.

  • Patent number: 7759095
    Abstract: Process for the preparation of phosphatidylserine of formula wherein R1 and R2 independently represent a saturated, mono-unsaturated or polyunsaturated acyl C10-C30, X=OH or OM where M=alkaline or alkaline earth metal, ammonium, alkylammonium (including the inner salt) including the transphosphatidylation reaction between phosphatidylcholine of the general formula wherein R1 and R2 and X have the above specified meanings, R3=CH2—CH2—NH2 o CH2—CH2—N+(CH3)3 and Serine in D, L or racemic form catalized by the phospholipase D enzyme (PLD), characterized in that said reaction is carried out in a hydroalcoholic medium containing an aliphatic alcohol and in the presence of bivalent metal oxide.
