Patents by Inventor Eiichiro Fukuzaki

Eiichiro Fukuzaki has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Homogentisic acid geranylgeranyl transerase polypeptide
    Patent number: 8372616
    Abstract: It is a subject of this invention to isolate a gene group of enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of vitamin E of Para rubber tree, and to determine the base sequence of each gene. According to this invention, genes encoding enzymes involved in the vitamin E biosynthesis were isolated from Para rubber tree and the base sequences of these genes were determined. Since vitamin E is an antioxidant existing in nature, it is expected that transformation of a plant by using the genes obtained in the invention would result in an increase in the vitamin E content of the plant and, in its turn, contribute to the prevention of rubber from aging.

  • Ester and method for production thereof as well as hydrolysis process and determination of optical purity using this ester
    Patent number: 5374766
    Abstract: This invention relates to a novel ester which presents as (CF 1) and a method for the production of the same as well as a process for hydrolysis and a method for the determination of an optical purity using this ester, and the object thereof is to provide an intermediate for the synthesis or various natural products, which has high stability, and the optical purity of which can readily be determined, according to the esterification of 1-oxo-5-hydroxymethyl-2-cyclohexene which is unstable to acids and alkalis.
