5175105 PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF UROKINASE USING SACCHAROMYES CEREVISIAE Bernd Meyhack, Jutta Heim, Rolf Burgi, Magden, Switzerland assigned to Ciba-Geigy Corporation Novel human plasminogen activators of the urokinase type are produced by yeast cells transformed with a hybrid vector comprising a DNA sequence coding for said human plasminogen activator. Novel hybrid vectors, yeast hosts transformed with such hybrid vectors and processes for the production thereof are also provided.
mula 1.0: See Patent for Chemical Structure (1 .O) and their pha~aceuti~ally acceptable salts and solvates. Pha~aceutical compositions containing compounds represented by Formula 1.O are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of treating hypertension or a viral infection using compounds represented by Formulas 1.0. Also disclosed is a compound of Structure B See Putent for Chemical Structure B useful as an intermediate in producing compounds of Formula 1.0, A process for preparing the compounds of Formula 1.0 is also disclosed. In the process a compound of Structure B See Patent for Chemical Stmcture B is reacted with an alkoxide R loM-i- in a solvent comprising the corresponding alcohol RIOH of the alkoxide. OptionaIly, an organic cosolvent may be used with the solvent.
5175165 5175108 PLASMIDS FROM CORYNEBACTERIUM GLUTAMICUM AND PLASMID VECTORS DERIVED THEREFROM Frank Bachmann, Hans J Kutzner, Han Sonnen, Georg Thierbach, Petra-Sabine Kautz, Alfred Puhler, Andreas Schaefer, Moerfelden Waldorf, Federal Republic Of Germany assigned to Degussa Aktiengesellschaft The present invention relates to new plasmids isolated from Corynebacterium glutamicum, plasmid pGA 1 and pGA2, which are compatible with one another. In addition, the present invention relates to recombinant plasmids and to plasmid vectors (shuttle vectors) containing the new plasmids. The plasmids and plasmid vectors of the present invention are suitable for use with genetic engineering to improve bacteria strains.
