Abstract:
A composition which contains caffeine, its analog, or its pharmaceutically allowable salt is provided to suppress infiltration, metastasis, and proliferation and prevent and/or treat brain cancer. A composition for preventing and treating brain cancer comprises caffeine, caffeine anaolog, or its pharmaceutically allowable salt as an active ingredient. The caffeine, caffeine analog or its pharmaceutically allowable salt has the content of 0.3-30 mM. The daily dose of the composition is 1-5 mg/kg and the composition is administered at one time or several times. The brain cancer is glioma, exothelioma, pituitary adenoma, schwannoma, craniopharyngioma or the congenital brain tumor. The composition selectively block the subtype 3 of activation of inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate receptoer(IP3R).
Abstract:
Alkanoyl piperazine derivatives are provided to block the T-type calcium channel in nerve cells and inhibit side effects, so that the compounds are useful for prevention and treatment of neuropathic pain, hypertension, angina pectoris, heart failure or arrhythmia. The alkanoyl piperazine derivatives represented by the formula(1) are prepared by reacting compounds represented by the formula(2) with carbonyl compound of which ends are substituted by halogen to prepare compounds represented by the formula(3), and reacting the compounds represented by the formula(3) with piperazine compound having a substituent at N-1 site to induce C-N coupling, wherein R is C1-C4 linear or branched alkyl, benzyl optionally substituted by 1 or more than 2 halogen or C1-C4 alkoxy, phenyl optionally substituted by 1 or more than 2 halogen or C1-C4 alkoxy, or C5-C10 monocyclo or C5-C10 bicycloaryl having at least one hetero atom selected from N, O or S; X is halogen, C1-C4 linear or branched alkyl optionally substituted by halogen, C1-C4 alkoxy optionally substituted by halogen or cyano group; and n is an integer from 1 to 10 and m is an integer from 0 to 5.
