Seedling Biotech has been awarded two invention patents, safeguarding its core technology and facilitating the application of raw materials
In the first half of this year,Raw material products independently developed by Seedling BiotechPatents related to Ectoine (also known as tetrahydro-pyrimidine) and boswellin"Construction method and application of a genetically engineered bacterium producing tetrahydro pyrimidine""Method and engineered bacteria for preparing (β,S) configuration bosin through enzyme catalysis"They passed the examination conducted by the State Intellectual Property Office in April and June respectively,was granted the patent right for invention.The acquisition of two invention patent certificates,It not only marks the official recognition of Seedling Biotechnology's innovative technological capabilities,It also further contributes to the company's intellectual property system,Protect the core technology of raw material products.Invention patent certificate for Ectoine and BosinRaw material product - EctoineEctoine (INCI name: tetrahydroxymethyl pyrimidine carboxylic acid) is a small-molecule amino acid derivative. It appears as white crystals or powder, and its molecular structure carries a carboxyl group and a cyclic amino group, which can form a strong electrostatic potential. This potential structures the free water within cells. Through its powerful water molecule complexing ability, it forms a hydration layer around biomolecules, protecting the structure and function of cells and biological macromolecules.In cosmetics, ectoine is often used as a skin conditioning agent, which can enhance skin's water-locking ability, provide long-lasting moisturization, alleviate damage and inflammation caused by external irritants such as dry environments, surfactants, and ultraviolet radiation, and strengthen the repair and immune capabilities of skin cells.With the continuous deepening of research on ectoine, it has also been discovered that ectoine has the effect of enhancing crop stress resistance, promoting crop growth, and strengthening crop resistance to pests and diseases in the agricultural field. Ectoine is expected to play a significant role in the improvement of saline-alkali soil, coping with extreme climate, and the transformation towards green agriculture.Through thorough research and meticulous design of the biosynthetic pathway of ectoine, Xi Zhenglin has constructed engineered bacterial strains capable of efficiently synthesizing ectoine and completed the upgrade of mass production processes. Leveraging the independently developed biosynthetic technology of ectoine, he has significantly expanded the range of available raw materials and significantly reduced the production cost of ectoine.Raw material product - BosinBoswellin (INCI Chinese name: hydroxypropyl tetrahydroxypyrantriol) is a functional ingredient commonly used in cosmetics. It can promote the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans in the human dermis, enhance the production of proteoglycans, and stimulate the regeneration of collagen. Glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, and collagen are all crucial structural components of the extracellular matrix, playing a pivotal role in maintaining the skin's firmness, uniformity, smoothness, and elasticity, as well as preserving its healthy state.The external manifestations of skin aging include skin thinning, skin sagging, loss of elasticity, and deepening wrinkles. In research on skin aging, it has been found that both naturally aged skin and photo-aged skin exhibit varying levels of decline in glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans. The use of cosmetics containing boswellin can promote epidermal renewal, strengthen skin structure, firm the skin, improve wrinkles, increase skin radiance and elasticity. Therefore, boswellin is known as one of the "three anti-aging giants" in the skin care industry and is widely used in face creams, serums, and other products from prestigious brands.Boswellin is a β-xylose derivative with multiple chiral carbon atoms in its molecular structure. The spatial arrangement of chiral carbon atoms on its parent core is relatively fixed, while the carbon atom at position 7 in the aglycone (hydroxypropane) gives rise to two different configurations, namely (β,S) and (β,R), which are diastereoisomers. Studies have shown that the biological activity of the (β,S) configuration is superior to that of the (β,R) configuration, and the cytotoxicity of the (β,S) configuration is weaker than that of the (β,R) configuration.Boswellin is a β-xylose derivative with multiple chiral carbon atoms in its molecular structure.
