Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a method for preparation of the tetrasaccharide lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnt, formula (I)) especially in large scale, as well as intermediates in the synthesis, a new crystal form (polymorph) of LNnt, and the use thereof in pharmaceutical or nutritional compositions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A polymorph of Galpβ1-4GlcNAcpβ1-3Galpβ1-4Glc (LNnT), characterized in that it displays X-ray powder diffraction reflections, based on a measurement using CuKα radiation, at 20.32±0.20, 19.10±0.20, 7.98±0.20, 21.03±0.20, 20.95±0.20 and 5.66±0.20 2Θ angles. 2. The polymorph of Galpβ1-4GlcNAcpβ1-3Galpβ1-4Glc according to claim 1 , which displays a melting point between 226-230° C. 3. A pharmaceutical composition co…
