  • Prolyl endopeptidase inhibitors SNA-115 and SNA-115T, and process for the production and productive strain thereof
    Patent number: 5449750
    Abstract: Prolyl endopeptidase inhibiting compounds SNA-115 and SNA-115T are provided having molecular formulas of C.sub.113 H.sub.142 N.sub.26 O.sub.27 and C.sub.113 H.sub.144 N.sub.26 O.sub.28 respectively. SNA-115T has the following structural formula:Arg Tyr Asp Trp Trp Pro Tyr Gly Asp Leu Phe Gly Gly His Thr Phe Ile Ser ProProcesses are also provided for the production of SNA-11 by culturing the SNA productive microorganism and production of SNA-115T by degradation of SNA-115 with trypsin. Both SNA-115 and SNA-115T exhibit prolyl endopeptidase inhibitory properties.

    Inventors: Kenichi Kimura, Fumiko Kanou, Hidetoshi Takahashi, Kazuhiko Kurosawa, Makoto Yoshihama
  • Method for direct saccharification of raw starch using enzyme produced by a basidiomycete belonging to the genus Corticium
    Patent number: 4727026
    Abstract: A method for the cooking-free saccharification of starch using an amylase produced by Corticium rolfsii AHU 9627 or its variants. According to the method, even a high viscous suspension of 10% (w/v) or more raw-corn starch is almost completely hydrolyzed within 8 hours. The saccharification is proceeded at a higher temperature and a lower pH compared with those in known methods utilizing other amylases which are able to hydrolyze uncooked starch, so that the propagation of the infectious bacteria which would affect the saccharifying efficiency can be avoided.
