  • Publication number: 20100215625
    Abstract: One of the problems to be resolved by the present invention is to stably and sustainably produce active ingredients contained in Bignoniaceous plants of which a mass production is difficult in a conventional manner. The present invention relates to a method for efficiently preparing an anticancer active ingredient NQ801 by a cell cultivation of Bignoniaceous plants under specific culture conditions. An ingredient-production system in the present invention has an anticancer activity.

  • Patent number: 5342189
    Abstract: An insert type extrusion die is presented for making small parts for use in electrical, automotive and other industries for manufacturing small component parts. The application of the invented die is illustrated for making multi-cavity flat aluminum tubes, which are used for small heat exchanger components, in automotive air-conditioners, condensors and radiators. The insert die is composed of a male die section having a protrusion part and a female die section having a die cavity is held detachably in a die holder. The male section is a roughly rectangular plate-shaped component, and has an integrally formed twist prevention region which is inserted into the receiver groove of the female section which is integrally formed thereon. The protrusion part defines the cavity shape of the multi-cavity flat tube, and the female section has the die cavity of the required cross sectional shape to define the outer shape of the tube.
