  • Patent number: 6805893
    Abstract: New diastereoisomer-enriched 3-mercapto-alkanols are disclosed. The compounds, namely 3-mercapto-2-methyl-butan-1-ol and/or 3-mercapto-3-methyl-hexan-1-ol, and the stereoisomers of each, are used to flavor products, such as foods and/or beverages. Methods for the preparation of both diastereoisomers of 3-mercapto-2-methyl-butan-1-ol are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20040076968
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for diagnosing a pre-disposition to drug induced livertoxicity which method comprises determining at least one single nucleotide polymorphism in the UDP-glucuronosyl transferase (UGT1) gene. Said method is based on determining specific single nucleotide polymorphisms in the UGT1 gene in a human being and determining the status of said human being by reference to polymorphism in UGT1. The invention further relates to diagnostic nucleic acids comprising within their sequence the polymorphisms as defined herein, to allele-specific primers and allele-specific oligonucleotide probes capable of hybridizing to such diagnostic nucleic acids and to diagnostic kits comprising one or more of such primers and probes for detecting a poylymorphism in the UGT1 gene.

  • Patent number: 6150542
    Abstract: The invention relates to agents preventing (the formation of) human malodor. In particular, the invention relates to the use of several classes of compounds which can act as such agents in cosmetic products, such as deodorants and antiperspirants. These compounds are normally odorless or nearly so, but upon contacting the skin as for example, in skin care compositions or in personal care compositions, they prevent malodor.The compounds under consideration are compounds of the formula:X--(Z).sub.n --CO--NH--CH--(COO--Y)--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CONH.sub.2I.
