(p-nitrophenyl N-acetyl-beta-isolactosaminide) were regioselectively synthesized from lactose and p-nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-glucopyranoside, employing transglycosylation by the beta-D-galactosidase fromBacilluscirculans and by controlling the concentration of organic solvent in the reaction system. The (1-->4)-linked disaccharide was formed exclusively when the concentration of organic solvent was high
The present invention relates to the field of regulating the activity of the purinergic receptors for the modulation of the vascular tone, particularly for the purpose of treatment of haemodynamic conditions by overriding of vasoconstriction activity, such as increases in sympathic vasoconstriction. Modulators, such as UTP analogues as described herein are preferably specific for P2Y2. Compounds capable of stimulating the P2Y2 receptor are suitable for the treatment or prevention wherein inhibition of vasoconstriction activity is desirable such as hypertension and hypertension relates disorders or diseases, whereas compound capable of counteracting the activity of the P2Y2 receptor are suitable for the treatment of or prevention wherein inhibition of vasodilatation is desirable.
The invention provides peptides and compounds that can bind to P2Y

Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as an alternative to conventional organic media due to their high thermal and chemical stability, negligible vapour pressure, non-flammability and easy recycling. In this context, this work assesses the catalytic activity of a beta-galactosidase from Bacillus circulans ATCC 31382 (beta-Gal-3-NTag) in the synthesis of beta-(1 -> 3)-galactosides using different ILs. A noticeably increase in activity, retaining total regioselectivity was found in the synthetic behaviour of B. circulans beta-galactosidase in ILs as co-solvents and using a 1:5 molar ratio of donor (pNP-beta-Gal):acceptor (GlcNAc or GalNac). Yields up to 97% of beta-(1 -> 3) with different ILs were found. These reactions take place without noticeable hydrolytic activity and with total regioselectivity, representing a considerable improvement over the use of aqueous buffer or conventional organic solvents. Furthermore, reaction scaling up and IL recovery and recycling are feasible without losing catalytic action. Molecular modelling studies performed predict a three-dimensional interaction at the active centre between the acceptor and the water-IL mixture, which could explain the results obtained.
