Title: Azeotropic distillation of cyclic esters of hydroxy organic acids
Inventor: COCKREM MICHAEL CHARLES MILNER
IPC: B01D3/36
Filed: 2002-03-06
Abstract: Cyclic esters of hydroxy organic acids can be produced and recovered via azeotropic distillation. In certain embodiments cyclic esters, such as glycolide and lactide, can be produced from a fermentation broth or other feed stream that contains a hydroxy organic acid, an ammonium salt of a hydroxy organic acid, an amide of a hydroxy organic acid, or an ester of a hydroxy organic acid using azeotropic distillation. The hydroxy organic acid of the feed stream or the hydroxy organic acid derived from the feed stream by decomposition is reacted to produce the cyclic ester. In other embodiments a crude composition of a cyclic ester of an organic ester can be purified using azeotropic distillation.

Title: Surface simulation synthetic peptides useful in the treatment of hyper-variable viral pathogens
Inventor: CREVECOEUR HARRY
IPC: G16B15/30
Filed: 2002-11-23
Abstract: Synthetic peptides and methods for configuring the amino acid sequences thereof are disclosed which are especially useful in the preparation of vaccines intended for the prophylaxis and treatment of viral pathogens exhibiting high mutation rates such as HIV-1. The high mutation rates of such viral pathogens result in extreme variance in the linear sequence of viral protein residues, such as the variable linear sequences of gp120 of HIV-1. To be effective and provide broad-spectrum and/or cross-clad coverage against hypervariable viruses such as HIV-1, vaccines must target common denominators of all infective strains of such a virus. These functional common denominators lie in the 3-dimensional configuration of proteins essential for host cell binding and infectivity. The disclosed peptides and methods for configuring same are derived from the 3 dimensional relationships of conserved residues of viral proteins defining conformational epitopes necessary and required for viral pathogenicity.
