  • OXIDATION CATALYST AND ITS USE FOR CATALYZING LIQUID PHASE OXIDATION REACTIONS
    Publication number: 20100130774
    Abstract: This invention relates to the field of heterogeneous catalysis, and more particularly to oxidation catalysts including carbon supports having deposited thereon a noble metal and one or more optional promoters and to methods for their preparation. The invention further relates to the field of heterogeneous catalytic oxidation reactions, including the preparation of secondary amines by the catalytic oxidation of tertiary amines, such as the oxidation of an N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid to produce an N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine product.

  • Biomaterials modified with superoxide dismutase mimics
    Patent number: 7445641
    Abstract: The present invention relates to biomaterials modified with non-proteinaceous catalysts for the dismutation of superoxide, and processes for making such materials. This modification may be by covalent conjugation, copolymerization, or admixture of the non-proteinaceous catalysts with the biomaterial. The resulting modified biomaterials exhibit a marked decrease in inflammatory response and subsequent degradation when placed in contact with vertebrate biological systems.

    Assignee: Pharmacia Corporation
    Inventors: Richard Ornberg, Kishore Udipi, Denis Forster, Dennis Riley, Bruce Thurmond, Susan Henke, Kerry Brethauer
  • Biopolymers modified with superoxide dismutase mimics
    Publication number: 20060089710
    Abstract: This invention provides modified biopolymers comprising biopolymers attached to at least one non-proteinaceous catalyst capable of dismutating superoxide in the biological system or precursor ligand thereof. The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the modified biopolymer and therapeutic methods comprising administering the modified biopolymer to a subject in need thereof.
