Abstract: The invention is directed to an improved process for preparing cefsulodin sodium. The process involves: (i) dissolving cefsulodin in a solvent comprising an organic solvent to provide a solution of cefsulodin, (ii) adding about 1 equivalent of a sodium salt of a base to the solution of cefsulodin to provide a solution of cefsulodin sodium, and (iii) separating the cefsulodin sodium from the solution of cefsulodin sodium.

Abstract: The present invention relates to multivalent HIV inhibitors that bind to multiple sites on a trimeric gp120 complex thereby blocking the CD4 binding site on the trimeric gp120 complex and inhibiting the attachment and entry of HIV through gp120-CD4 interactions.

Abstract: Disclosed are scaffolded maleimide clusters, methods of making said clusters and use of said clusters as templates for multivalent peptide assembly. Multiple maleimide functionalities were introduced onto a scaffold molecule by the reaction of a core-centered polyamines with methoxycarbonylmaleimide or with activated esters of maleimide-containing compounds. The scaffolded maleimides allow rapid, highly chemoselective, and high-yield ligation with thiolcontaining peptides under virtually neutral conditions at room temperature. The disclosed mild and highly efficient ligation method is extremely valuable for synthesizing large and complex multivalent peptides that may not be easily obtained by conventional ligation methods. These novel scaffolded maleimide clusters allow a highly chemoselective ligation with a thiolcontaining peptide under virtually neutral conditions, providing a new and efficient approach for multivalent peptide assembly.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for cultivating and consuming fresh Spirulina at home. The method comprises species selection of Spirulina for cultivation at home, cultivation environment and apparatus conditions, cultivation and maintenance of Spirulina, collection of fresh Spirulina, consumption and storage of fresh Spirulina. The invention changes the situations that Spirulina are only produced in plants and the finished products of Spirulina are bought in stores or hospitals. The invention not only enables the nutrients of Spirulina to be stored and utilized much completely, but also comprehensively utilizes this original biological resource and characteristics of Spirulina (such as absorption of carbon dioxide, release of fresh oxygen and production of high-protein nutrient source) and thus develops and popularizes much quickly the edible Spirulina to meet the needs of the public to health foods.
