Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the production of a medicine for the modulation of apoptosis, capable of suppressing the dephosphorylation of a cofilin and manifesting excellent modulation effects on the apoptosis by using a specific xanthine derivative. SOLUTION: A compound represented by formula I R is a 1-4C alkyl; either one of R and R is represented by the formula (CH2 )n -R-CH3 [R is a covalent single bond and (n) is 0-7; R is a group represented by CO and (n) is 1-6; R is a group represented by the formula C(R )(OH) (R ) is H or a 1-3C alkyl) and (n) is 1-6] and the other is H, a 1-7C alkyl, a 4-8C cycloalkyl, etc.}, e.g. 1-(5-hydroxy-5-methylcyclohexyl)-3-methyl-7-propylxanthine is used. Concretely. the medicine is prepared by using, e.g. (A) the compound represented by formula I, (B) a compound (salt) represented by formula II (R is a 1-4C alkyl, etc.; R is a halogen, etc.; X is N, etc.) or formula III (R is CF3 , etc.) and (C) a pharmaceutical excipient.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a new isoxazole and a crotonamide derivative suitable for preventing and treating cancerous diseases, inflammations and autoimmune diseases. SOLUTION: This compound is shown by formula I [R is a group of formula II or formula III; R is O-(CH2 )n -CH=CH2 ((n) is 1-3, etc.)] or a compound of formula IV (L is O, etc.; X is a polymer, etc.) such as 2-cyano-3-hydroxybut-2- enecarboxylic acid(4-allyloxyphenyl)amide. The compound of formula I is obtained, for example, by treating isoxazole-4-carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride or phosphorus oxychloride in an aprotic solvent to convert into an acid chloride and reacting the acid chloride with an organic base such as a tertiary amine in a bipolar aprotic solvent such as a chlorinated hydrocarbon by a proper method.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a pharmaceutical agent capable of exhibiting modulation effect even on apoptosis by using a compound having an action to inhibit the dephosphorylation of cophylline as an active component. SOLUTION: This agent contains at least one kind of substance selected from a compound of the formula I and/or the formula II (R is a 1-4C alkyl, a 3-5C cycloalkyl, etc.; R is CF3 , O-CF3 , S-CF3 , OH, etc.; R is a 1-4C alkyl, a halogen or H; X is CH or N atom) and/or its optical steric isomer and/or its physiologically permissible salt. The compound of the formula I or II is e.g. N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide. The administration rate of the compound of the formula I and/or the formula II is preferably 2-250mg, especially 10-50mg. The agent is expected to be useful for the treatment of infarction, fit, transplantation, autoimmune diseases, etc.

Abstract:
The invention relates to polyvinylamine derivatives containing hydrophilic centres, of the formula I in which R , R , R , X, w, x, y and z are as defined, and to a process for their preparation, and to the use of these compounds as medicaments (drugs, pharmaceuticals), active compound (active ingredient) carriers and as foodstuff auxiliaries. The preparation starts, in particular, from highly pure polyvinylamines containing the recurring unit of the formula Ia whose preparation is likewise described.a
