Lactose purified

Dissolve 10 g. of lactose (1) in 100 ml. of nitric acid, sp. gr. 115, in an evaporating dish and evaporate in a fume cupboard until the volume has been reduced to about 20 ml. The mixture becomes thick and pasty owing to the separation of mucic acid. When cold, dilute with 30 ml. of water, filter at the pump and set the filtrate A) aside. Wash the crude acid with cold water. Purify the mucic acid by dissolving it in the minimum volume of dilute sodium hydroxide solution and reprecipitating with dilute hydrochloric acid do not allow the temperature to rise above 25°. Dry the purified acid (about 5 g.) and determine the m.p. Mucic acid melts with decomposition at 212-213°. 

Traditionally, glucagon preparations utilized therapeutically are chromatographically purified from bovine or porcine pancreatic tissue. (The structure of bovine, porcine and human glucagon is identical, thus eliminating the possibility of direct immunological complications). Such commercial preparations are generally formulated with lactose and sodium chloride and sold in freeze-dried form. Glucagon, 0.5-1.0 units (approximately 0.5-1.0 mg freeze-dried hormone), is administered to the patient by s.c. or i.m. injection. 

It should also be said again that casein, the complete protein (in terms of its amino acid content), was obtained from milk. Whether highly purified by the Merck Co. or not (as in "protene"), we have noted Hopkins i ns i stence that only hot alcohol could extract the growth substances completely. Casein, Hopkins believed, could also adsorb trace amounts of these substances. McCollum, Drummond and Osborne and Mendel would all demonstrate that lactose, also obtained from cow s milk, adsorbed variable quantities of growth promoting materials. (Anyone who has left a...

Although most additives that have been studied retard growth on all faces of the crystal, there are some which definitely promote growth on certain faces. For example, repeated recrystallization of lactose removes growth-promoting trace substances, so that crystal growth is much slower in supersaturated solutions of this lactose than in less purified solutions. The tendency toward spontaneous nucleation is also lowered upon repeated recrystallization. 

Purification of the membrane-bound lactose carrier protein is a very different problem from the purification of the soluble OMP synthase. Both the approach to purification and the assays for the protein during purification are quite novel. The assay involves reconstituting a transport system with membranes that are free of lactose carrier protein, then adding the partially purified carrier protein and radioactively labeled lactose. The activity in this assay system is proportional to the transport of radioactive lactose across the membrane in the cell-free reconstituted system.

Powder cocaine (cocaine hydrochloride) can be over 100 times more potent than coca leaves. By adding acids and purifying agents, 22 lbs (10 kg) of coca paste can be refined to 2.2 lbs (1 kg) of powder. This powder approaches 100% purity, but it is diluted with fillers before it is sold on the streets in the United States. Common fillers are cheaper drugs such as amphetamines or sugars such as lactose or inositol. Average street powder purity is 60%. The most common way to use powder is to snort it into the nose, but it can also be dissolved in water and injected into the veins. Powder cocaine cannot be smoked. Powder cocaine is addictive when snorted and highly addictive when injected.

Microcrystalline Cellulose. Microcrystalline cellulose is a purified, partially depolymerized cellulose that occurs as a white, odorless, tasteless, crystalline powder composed of porous particles. It is widely used in pharmaceutical dosage forms, primarily as a filler-binder in oral tablets and capsules with both wet granulation and direct compression processes. Microcrystalline cellulose was marketed first in 1964 by the FMC Corporation under name Avicel PH in four different particle size grades, each with different properties.37 Addition of Avicel into a spray-dried lactose-based formulation overcame compressibility problems. At the same time, the lactose enhanced the flowability of the Avicel products available at that time. The direct compression tableting process became a reality, rather than a concept, partially because of the availability of Avicel. As of 2007, Avicel PH is commercially available in 10 types with different particle size, density, and moisture grades that have different properties and applications (Table 7.6).38 Other brands of microcrystalline cellulose are also available on the pharmaceutical market, including Pharmacel 101 and 102 from DMV International and Emcocel 50 M and 90 M from JRS Pharma. 

The homogeneity and molecular size of the purified antibody preparations were determined by ultracentrifiigation in a Spinco Model E centrifuge. The results of this analysis on anti-lactose antibodies are illustrated in the photographs of the ultracentrifuge patterns shown in Fig. (1). The... 

Gel electrophoresis yielded a broad band and indicated several protein components, Fig. (15B). It was necessary to establish whether the preparation contained several types of antibodies or only anti-lactose antibodies. The preparation was subjected to electrofocusing [39], Duplicate gels were made by electrofocusing. One gel was stained for protein and showed the presence of multiproteins, Fig. (15C). The unstained gel was examined by the coupled method and yielded a precipitin which was opposite each band in the stained gel, Fig. (15D-F). These results showed that the purified antibody preparation consisted of 13 protein species each with antibody activity directed at lactose-containing antigen.
