Abstract:
Disclosed is a composite composition comprising pitavastatin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and valsartan or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the composite pharmaceutical composition is more stable than simple formulations in combination, and is economically beneficial compared to a controlled-release formulation.
Abstract:
An azoxy compound represented by general formula (I), which has an excellent fungicidal activity against fungi which infect warm-blooded animals, agrohorticultural crops or fruits, thus being useful as medicine, veterinary drug and agrohorticultural fungicide. In formula (I), R1 represents hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, lower alkoxy, lower alkoxy-lower alkoxy or X1-C=C-CH2O-, wherein X1 represents hydrogen or halogen; R2 represents hydrogen or lower alkyl; R3 represents hydrogen or lower alkyl; R4 represents hydrogen or X2-C=C-CH2O-, wherein X2 represents hydrogen or halogen; R5 represents hydrogen or lower alkyl; and n represents 0 or 1.
Abstract:
The present invention provide an agent for modulating expression of extracellular matrix by corneal endothelial cells. The present invention pertains to an agent for modulating expression of extracellular matrix by corneal endothelial cells containing, 1-(4-fluoro-5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methyl-1,4-homopiperazine or a salt thereof, or a solvate thereof.
Abstract:
With regard to the detection of a physiological active substance of biological origin and the measurement of its concentration in a sample, the invention provides a technique for moving gel particles that are produced in the sample without using a mechanical stirring member, and allows a highly accurate detection of the physiological active substance of biological origin and measurement of its concentration with a simple arrangement. By partial heating/cooling of a sample cell, thermal convection is generated within a mixture liquid in the sample cell, and as a result the gel particles that are produced in the mixture liquid are moved. In addition, based on the intensity of forward scattered light, the rate of change in the number of gel particles is measured.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for prevention and treatment of kidney diseases comprising one or more effective component(s) of an activator for PAR-2 which is able to activate PAR-2 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The present invention further relates to a method for prevention and treatment of kidney diseases comprising administration of a pharmaceutical composition for prevention and treatment of kidney diseases containing an activator for PAR-2 which is able to activate PAR-2 to patients suffering from kidney diseases, and also relates to the use of an activator for PAR-2 which is able to activate PAR-2 for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for prevention and treatment of kidney diseases. The present invention furthermore relates to a method for screening an effective ingredient for prevention and treatment of kidney diseases comprising screening of the activating action of the test substance to PAR-2.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method for producing a glycidyl ether of general formula (I), wherein A is an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl group and the asterisked carbon atom represents an asymmetric carbon atom, comprising reacting an aryl alcohol of the general formula A-OH, wherein A is as defined above, with an epihalohydrin in the presence of a quaternary ammonium salt and, if necessary, treating the reaction product with a base. This method can afford the glycidyl ether of formula (I), which is useful as an intermediate of drugs, especially a β-blocker, in a simplified manner with a high optical purity.
