Abstract: The present invention relates to an interferon gene stimulator composition containing an indolizine derivative as an active ingredient. The composition may overcome the problem of low disease control rate, unlike the use of a cyclic-di-nucleotide alone. Specifically, since the composition contains the cyclic-di-nucleotide together with the compound of Formula 1, it may exhibit high activity even when a low concentration of the cyclic-di-nucleotide is used.

Abstract: Provided is a radionuclide absorbent, a method of preparing the same and a method of removing a radionuclide using the same. The radionuclide absorbent, compared to conventional zeolite, may more selectively remove radioactive cesium (Cs+) and/or strontium (Sr2+) ions even in the presence of various competitive ions (e.g., Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+) in groundwater or seawater. In addition, the radionuclide absorbent may be prepared by a simple method of thermally treating a mixture of sulfur and zeolite, and thereby, sulfur may be uniformly dispersed in zeolite.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing a multi-level pore zeolite, including: (A) a step of mixing a silicon precursor, an aluminum precursor, a phosphorus precursor, a structure directing agent and water; a step of (B) adding phenylphosphonic acid, carbon black or a mixture thereof to the mixture prepared in the step (A) and mixing the same; a step of (C) crystallizing the mixture prepared in the step (B) by heat-treating the same; and a step of (D) calcining the crystallization product, and utilization of the prepared multi-level pore zeolite as a catalyst for hydroisomerization of normal paraffins. The catalyst exhibits improved isoparaffin yield when it is used as a catalyst for hydroisomerization of normal paraffins such as diesel or lube base oil by supporting an active metal component because residence time of reactants and products in the zeolite crystals are decreased due to mesopores and the proportion of external acid sites to total acid sites is low.
