  • Publication number: 20250188109
    Abstract: The present invention relates to triterpene glycoside saponin-derived adjuvants, syntheses thereof, intermediates thereto, and uses thereof. QS-7 is a potent immuno-adjuvant that is significantly less toxic than QS-21, a related saponin that is currently the favored adjuvant in anticancer and antiviral vaccines. Tedious isolation and purification protocols have hindered the clinical development of QS-7. A novel semi-synthetic method is provided wherein a hydrolyzed prosapogenin mixture is used to synthesize QS-7, QS-21, and related analogs, greatly facilitating access to QS-7 and QS-21 analogs for preclinical and clinical evaluation.

  • Publication number: 20240410065
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a rose petal effect-based biomimetic electrode and a membrane-less water electrolysis reactor utilizing the same, belongs to the technical field of catalytic technology for water electrolysis. The electrode has a surface exhibiting a microscopically alternating hydrophilic-hydrophobic periodic structure. The hydrophilic parts ensure good contact between the catalyst and the electrolyte solution, thereby guaranteeing the electrode's catalytic performance. The hydrophobic parts allow the gas generated at the electrode surface to be discharged through internal porous channels, preventing the formation of visible bubbles on the electrode surface and thereby fundamentally avoiding issues caused by bubble formation. The membrane-less water electrolysis reactor utilizing the electrode can eliminate bubble formation on the electrode surface, thereby avoiding problems related to bubble covering catalytic sites, bubble resistance, and gas mixing.
