Latest Patents
Jae-Kyung Song holds a patent for a "Method for preparing sialic acid derivative." This invention relates to a method characterized by performing both a process for preparing CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid using N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and a process for preparing the sialic acid derivative that combines a sialic acid with a galactose derivative or a lactose derivative, together, in one reactor. The method allows for the recycling of expensive cytidine 5'-monophosphate (CMP) in a reactor, reducing the amount of CMP needed. This innovative approach enables the preparation of sialic acid derivatives at a significantly high efficiency using cost-effective substrates like N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and pyruvate.
