The chemical synthesis of beta-(1-->4)-linked D-mannobiose and D-mannotriose

A D-cellobiose derivative was converted to D-mannobiose via simultaneous epimerization at C-2 and C-2'. Subsequent beta-D-glucosylation and epimerization at C-2" gave D-mannotriose.     

Synthesis of oligosaccharide fragments of the Streptococcus pneumoniae type 14 capsular polysaccharide and their neoglycoconjugates with bovine serum albumin

2-Aminoethyl glycosides of tetra-, hexa- and octasaccharide fragments of the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae type 14 capsular polysaccharide were synthesized within a project directed to the development of pneumococcal conjugated vaccine based on synthetic carbohydrate ligands. Squarate method was used to obtain neoglycoconjugates of the synthesized oligosaccharides with bovine serum albumin.     

Study of sulfated derivatives of polyhydroxy compounds as inhibitors of blood coagulation

Persulfated derivatives of natural polyhydroxy compounds, such as lignans secoisolariciresinol, and isolariciresinol, flavonoid dihydroquercetin, and myo-inositol, have been synthesized. The ability of these compounds to inhibit the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation (APTT-test) and to reduce the activity of coagulation factor Xa in the presence of antithrombin(III) has been studied.     

Mn site substitution of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 with closed shell ions: Effect on magnetic transition temperature

Mn site is substituted with closed shell ions (Al, Ga, Ti, Zr and a certain combination of Zr and Al) and also with Fe and Ru ions carrying the magnetic moment (S=5/2 and 2 respectively) at a fixed concentration of 5 at %. Substitution did not change either the crystal symmetry or the oxygen stoichiometry. All substituents were found to suppress both the metal-insulator and ferromagnetic transition temperatures (T _p(ρ) and T _C, respectively) to varied extents. Two main contributions identified for the suppression are the lattice disorder arising due to difference in the ionic radii between the substituent (r _M) and the Mn³⁺ ion (r _Mn ³⁺) and in the case of the substituents carrying a magnetic moment, the type of magnetic coupling between the substituent and that of the neighboring Mn ion.
