  • Publication number: 20170079264
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aqueous composition useful for producing antimicrobic polymer films, comprising at least an anionic silver complex, one or more cationic organic components with microbicidal activity, a solvent and a polymeric component. Said antimicrobic films can be obtained by depositing the aqueous composition of the invention on the surface to be treated, possibly followed by a thermosetting or photocuring treatment. The antimicrobic polymer films can be produced on surfaces of containers made of plastic, glass, ceramic or metallic material, thereby ensuring a barrier effect which protects the treated surface from invasions of external microbial agents borne by the air or hands of workers who use such containers.

  • Patent number: 9206220
    Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the synthesis of ursodeoxycholic acid wherein the purification of the crude ursodeoxycholic acid (containing approximately 13-15% of chenodeoxycholic acid impurity) takes place first passing through a salification with imidazole and a subsequent purification via “methyl ester”, which allows a finished product with an extremely low content of known “cheno and “litho” impurities to be obtained. The present invention also describes the recovery steps of cholic acid and 3?-hydroxy-7-ketocholanic acid from the mother liquors of process intermediates.
