According to the present invention, a crystal of an alkali metal N-acetylneuraminate anhydrate, and a process for producing a crystal of an alkali metal N-acetylneuraminate anhydrate, comprising adding or adding dropwise a solvent selected from the group consisting of alcohols and ketones to an aqueous N-acetylneuraminic acid solution containing an alkali metal-containing compound and having a pH of 3.0 to 9.0 to precipitate a crystal of an alkali metal N-acetylneuraminate anhydrate, and collecting the crystal of an alkali metal N-acetylneuraminate anhydrate from the aqueous solution, can be provided.

Provided are compounds that can inhibit pathogenic, bacterial metabolite production and conjugates of the same. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same and methods of using the same.

Disclosed is a method for the manufacture of a spray-dried powder consisting essentially of at least one lacto-N-fucopentaose, the spray-dried powder, its use for the manufacture of nutritional compositions, and nutritional compositions containing the spray-dried powder.

Provided herein is the design and synthesis of novel molecular rotor fluorophores useful for detection of amyloid or amyloid like proteins. The fluorophores are designed to exhibit enhanced fluorescence emission upon associating with amyloid or amyloid like proteins as compared to unbound compound. Also disclosed herein are methods for treating diseases associated with amyloid or amyloid like proteins.
