  • LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE DECONTAMINATION
    Publication number: 20100282684
    Abstract: Materials and methods for the selective removal of lipopolysaccharide during the purification of molecules of bio-pharmaceutical interest are based on a polymeric substrate that binds lipopolysaccharide. Preferably, the polymeric substrate is selective for at least one of heptose and 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonic acid. The substrate can be formed by a process comprising: (i) contacting a homogeneous polymer solution and a template solution; (ii) carrying out a phase inversion of the resulting solution; and (iii) removing the template.

  • Free-radical functionalized polysaccharides
    Patent number: 7754878
    Abstract: Polysaccharides are functionalized using a source of free radicals which forms stable radicals on the polysaccharides structure and wherein the formed radicals reacts with a functionalized unsaturated compound. The method comprises two steps: a first step, wherein the free radical on the polysaccharides chain is formed, and a second step, wherein said radical reacts with the unsaturated compound in the absence of the radical source.

  • Biocompatible block copolymer
    Patent number: 5665831
    Abstract: The biocompatible multi-block copolymer is obtainable by linear polycondensation of at least two .alpha.,.omega.-dihydroxypolyesters acid and/or .alpha.,.omega.-dihydroxypolyethers with a diisocyanate, diacid halide or phosgene. The block copolymer is preferably degradable in the human or animal body. The block copolymer is suitable for the production of medical implants and surgical aids.
