Abstract: The invention is based on the discovery of a new bacterial compound with analgesic properties which could be used as a new tool for the treatment of pain disorders such as visceral pain. Studying the mechanisms implicated in analgesic properties of the probiotic Escherichia coli strain Nissle 1917 (EcN), inventors characterized, the amino fatty acids produced by EcN, which display the Ecn analgesic properties. One of these compounds inhibits the hypersensitivity to colorectal distension induced by capsaicin, which is a very powerful nociceptive compound and acts via the GABA B receptor. Furthermore, inventors demonstrate that this compound is able to cross the cellular epithelial barrier (such as the intestinal epithelium). Thus, the invention relates to a lipopetide compound, derived from gamma-aminobutyric acid. The invention also relates to a lipopeptide compound according to the invention for the treatment of treating pain disorder, such as somatic pain and visceral pain.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for the direct production of polyester articles for packaging purposes, in particular for the production of hollow bodies, thermoformed sheets and films, said articles containing an amount of acetaldehyde less than 10 ppm. This method is characterised in that it essentially comprises a step in which the initial level SE0 of the sum of end groups in the polymer melt is increased by adding a mixture of at least one inert and at least one reactive substance to said polymer melt to a second level SE1 and a degassing step consisting in essentially applying a vacuum to the previously obtained polymer melt to cause a removal of low molecular weight substances present and formed, of non reacted reactive substance(s) and inert substance(s) added during previous step before the so obtained polymer melt is directly converted into the desired articles.
