  • Publication number: 20210177796
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating inflammatory diseases and a food for preventing or alleviating inflammatory diseases, both of which contain curvularin-type metabolites as an active ingredient and, more specifically to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating inflammatory diseases and a food for preventing or alleviating inflammatory diseases, both of which contain, as an active ingredient, marine fungus Penicillium sp. SF-5859-derived curvularin-type metabolites. A pharmaceutical composition, according to the present invention, for preventing or treating inflammatory diseases, containing curvularin-type metabolites derived from marine fungus Penicillium sp. SF-5859 (KCTC 13354 BP) inhibits the production of proinflammatory cytokines and mediators, thereby being effectively usable for the prevention or treatment of inflammatory diseases.

  • Patent number: 10993434
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an exopolysaccharide derived from Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain CY01 (KCTC 12867BP) which is a novel strain living in the polar regions, and to a composition for cryoprotection of cells, which contains the exopolysaccharide. The exopolysaccharide of the present invention has an excellent ability to cryoprotect cells, and shows no cytotoxicity. Thus, the inventive exopolysaccharide can substitute for conventional cryoprotective agents that show cytotoxicity when used at high concentrations.

  • Publication number: 20070010637
    Abstract: Provided are a novel transition metal complex where a monocyclopentadienyl ligand to which an amido or alcoxy group is introduced is coordinated, a method of synthesizing the same, and olefin polymerization using the transition metal complex. Compared to a conventional transition metal complex having a silicon bridge and an oxido ligand, the transition metal complex has a phenylene bridge, so that a monomer easily approaches the transition metal complex in terms of structure and a pentagon ring structure of the transition metal complex is stably maintained. The catalyst composition including the transition metal complex is used to synthesize a polyolefin copolymer having a very low density less than 0.910 g/cc.
