There are disclosed new compound with significant antiparasitic activity which are prepared by fermenting the compounds paraherquamide or dihydroparaherquamide in a novel microorganism identified as Cunninghamella blakesleeana MF-4415. The compounds are best realized in the following structural formulae: See Potent for Chemicn[ Sfructure (II) MeMeAOONHOMeMeONMeHON MeMeAOONMeOH (III) HOMeMeONMeONMeOH (IV) wherein A is either a single or a double bond. The paraherquamide compound is modified by the microorganism by ring hydroxylation or ketonization. The compounds are significant antiparasitic and anthelmintic agents and compositions for that use are also disclosed.
5164487 MANUFACTURING INTRAVENOUS TOLERABLE IMMUNOGLOBULIN-G PREPARATION Norbert Kothe, Dieter Rudnick, Detlef Piechaczek, Herwald Klein, Detlef Rohm, Michael Kloft, Kronberg, Federal Republic Of Germany assigned to Biotest Pharma GmbH Method of manufacturing an intravenously tolerable immunoglobulin-G preparation that is free of aggregates, vasoactive substances and proteolytic enzymes and accordingly appropriate for all types of patients, especially immunosuppressed patients, from a starting material that contains immunoglobulin G but from which the coagulation factors have been removed. The starting material is treated with 0.4 to 1.5% by volume of octanoic acid and then chromatographed, especially on an ion or cation exchanger or hydrophobic matrix.
