Patent AU-2003228137-A1 (AU)
Title: Means and methods for detecting endoglycosidase activity
Inventor: AERTS JOHANNES MARIA FRANCISCU
IPC: C12Q1/34
Filed: 2003-04-29
Abstract: The invention relates to detection of endoglycosidase activity and diagnostics of infertility and diseases wherein an altered amount of an endoglycosidase is involved. Two methods for detecting the endoglycosidase activity are disclosed that solve the problem of interference of the additional transglycosidase activity of endoglycosidases in an assay for endoglycosidase activity at high substrate concentrations. The first method involves substrates that cannot be glycosylated due to the absence of a hydroxyl group at the 4 position of the reducing end sugar substrate. The second method involves a further other molecule capable of being glycosylated for competition with the transglycosylation of the substrate. Methods of the synthesis of glycosylated substrates using the transglycosidase activity of endoglycosidases are also claimed.

Title: N-aryl diazaspiracyclic compounds and methods of preparation and use thereof
Inventor: BHATTI BALWINDER S
IPC: C07D453/00
Filed: 2003-06-27
Abstract: Compounds, pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds, and methods of preparation and use thereof are disclosed. The compounds are bridged analogues of N-heteroaryl diazaspirocyclic compounds, or prodrugs or metabolites of these compounds. The aryl group can be a five or six-membered heterocyclic ring (heteroaryl). The compounds and compositions can be used to treat and/or prevent a wide variety of conditions or disorders, particularly those disorders characterized by dysfunction of nicotinic cholinergic neurotransmission, including disorders involving neuromodulation of neurotransmitter release, such as dopamine release. CNS disorders, which are characterized by an alteration in normal neurotransmitter release, are another example of disorders that can be treated and/or prevented. The compounds and compositions can also be used to alleviate pain. The compounds can (i) alter the number of nicotinic cholinergic receptors in the brain of the patient, (ii) exhibit neuroprotective effects and (iii) when employed in effective amounts, not result in appreciable side effects (e.g. side effects such as significant increases in blood pressure and heart rate, significant negative effects upon the gastrointestinal tract, and significant effects upon skeletal muscle).

Title: Treatment of inflammation
Inventor: BAR-YEHUDA SARA
IPC: A61P29/00
Filed: 2005-11-30
Abstract: Inflammatory state in a subject is assayed by determining the level of expression of A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR) in white blood cells (WBC), e.g. circulating WBCs, from the subject. A high level of expression of A3AR is indicative of an inflammatory state in the subject. This assay can be used for determining whether a patient known to have an inflammatory state should be treated with an A3AR agonist to reduce the inflammatory state. The patient will be so treated only if the level of A3AR in the WBC of the subject is above a predefined threshold, which is about twice the level of A3AR in WBC of healthy subjects. The inflammatory state may particularly be rheumatoid arthritis or uveitis.

Title: Lossless encoding of information with guaranteed maximum bitrate
Inventor: SPERSCHNEIDER RALPH
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 2006-02-13
Abstract: A compact encoded representation of information values not exceeding a predefined size can be derived when a first encoding rule generating an encoded representation of the information values of variable length is compared to a second encoding rule generating an encoded representation of the information values of fixed length and when the encoding rule resulting in the encoded representation requiring the lower number of information units is chosen. Thus, the maximum bit rate can be guaranteed to be at least the maximum bit rate of the second encoding rule deriving the second encoded representation. Signaling the choice of the encoding rule by some rule information together with the encoded representation of the information values, the correct information values can later on be derived on a decoder side, using a decoding rule fitting the encoding rule used during the encoding.

Title: Water soluble and activable phenolics derivatives with dermocosmetic and therapeutic applications and process for preparing said derivatives
Inventor: AURIOL DANIEL
IPC: C12P19/02
Filed: 2007-06-13
Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation of phenolics derivatives by enzymatic condensation of phenolics selected among pyrocatechol or its derivatives including (i) protocatechuic acid and its derivatives, (ii) 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid with its  trans isomer or caffeic acid and its derivatives, especially hydrocaffeic acid, rosmarinic acid, chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid phenethyl ester, and with its cis-isomer and its derivatives, especially esculin, (iii) dihydroxyphenylglycol, and (iv) members of the flavonoid familly such as taxifolin and fustin (dihydroflavonols), fisetin (a flavonol), eriodictyol (a flavanone), , with the glucose moiety of sucrose. The production of said phenolics derivatives is achieved with a glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.5) obtained from a culture of  Leuconostoc  species, and more particularly from the culture of  Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-512F.  These O-glucosides of selected phenolics are new, have a solubility in water higher than that of their parent polyphenol and have useful applications in cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions, such as antioxidative, antiviral, antibacterial, immune-stimulating, antiallergic, antihypertensive, antiischemic, antiarrhytmic, antithrombotic, hypocholesterolemic, antilipoperoxidant, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic antimutagenic, antineoplastic, anti-thrombotic, and vasodilatory formulations, or in any other field of application. All the more, glucosylated phenolics derivatives objects of the invention can be hydrolyzed by the human natural microbiotes, thus releasing the active part of the phenolic compound upon time during their usage or by an ±-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20).
