| 20100010213 | PROCESS FOR THE CRYSTALLISATION OF CEFADROXIL - The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of cefadroxil in crystal form, comprising a) adding an aqueous solution of cefadroxil to a crystallisation vessel and a titrant to keep a pH in the crystallisation vessel of between 7 to 9; and b) lowering the pH in the crystallisation vessel to a value of between 5 and 6.5 to obtain a suspension of the β-lactam compound in crystal form. The invention further relates to cefadroxil in crystal form obtainable by the process according to the present invention. The invention also relates to cefadroxil in crystal form with a CIE b value of below 12 when stored at a temperature of 25° C. for at least 1 month. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100055749 | PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CLAVULANIC ACID - The present invention relates to a process for preparation of a pharmaceutically acceptable metal salt of clavulanic acid comprising the steps of (a) fermenting of a microorganism capable of producing and excreting the clavulanic acid into the broth; (b) removing biomass and other solid material from the clavulanic acid containing fermentation broth obtained in step (a); (c) acidifying the solution obtained after step (b) to a pH between 1 and 3 and extracting the acidified solution with a partly or fully water-immiscible solvent and separating the clavulanic acid containing extract; (d) mixing the clavulanic acid containing extract obtained in step (c) with a metal donor and at least one additional cosolvent to result in an insoluble, preferably crystalline metal clavulanate salt with a yield of at least 80%; and (e) separating the insoluble, preferably crystalline, metal clavulanate salt from the mixture obtained in step (d). | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100063312 | PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF AMINO ACID METHYL ESTERS - The present invention describes a process for the synthesis of an amino acid methyl ester comprising the following steps: (a) refluxing a reaction mixture comprising a free amino acid, methanol and a strong acid; (b) concentrating the mixture; (c) adding methanol; (d) repeating steps a-c one or more times. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100311113 | CHEMO-ENZYMATIC PEPTIDE SYNTHESIS VIA C-TERMINAL ESTER INTERCONVERSION - The invention relates to a method for preparing an optionally N-protected amino acid C-terminal ester or an optionally N-protected peptide C-terminal ester, comprising transesterifying the C-terminal t-alkyl ester of the amino acid or the C-terminal t-alkyl ester of the peptide with an alcohol (other than the t-alcohol corresponding to the t-alkyl group of the ester) in the presence of a hydrolytic enzyme (E.C. 3). | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110104748 | PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF BETA-LACTAM COMPOUNDS - The present invention describes a process for the synthesis of a semi-synthetic β-lactam compound from a nucleus and a side chain selected from the group consisting of D-phenylglycine and D-dihydro-phenylglycine in the form of a side chain ester and an enzyme catalyzing the coupling of the side chain ester to the nucleus characterized in that the side chain ester is not isolated as a solid intermediate. | 05-05-2011 |
