Abstract:
Specific phenylalanine derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof have an antagonistic effect on the α 4 integrins and, therefore, are usable as therapeutic agents or preventive agents for diseases in which α 4 integrin-depending adhesion process participates in the pathology, such as inflammatory diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, Sjögren's syndrome, asthma, psoriasis, allergy, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, arterial sclerosis, restenosis, tumor proliferation, tumor metastasis and transplantation rejection.
Abstract:
The invention relates to malonamide derivatives of formula wherein A1, A2, R1, R2, R3, and R4 are as defined herein and to pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, optically pure enantiomers, racemates or diastereomeric mixtures thereof for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Abstract:
The invention relates to 6-oxo-6,7-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,d]azepin-7-yl derivatives of formula I wherein R1, R2 and R3 are as defined herein. The compounds are γ-secretase inhibitors useful in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease or common cancer, including, but not limited to, cervical carcinomas and breast carcinomas and malignancies of the hematopoietic system.
Abstract:
The invention relates to optical devices comprising a substrate and at least one semiconductive polymer supported by said substrate, wherein said semiconductive polymer is a copolymer in which one of the repeat units is a group of formula (I) or a homopolymer in which the repeat unit is a group of formula (I): wherein: A and B are the same or different and each comprises wholly or partially an aryl moiety or a heteroaryl moiety, said moiety in A being fused to the bond a-b and said moiety in B being fused to the bond c-d, and X is a linking unit, X being such that there is a torsion angle of at least 5° between the bond a-b and the bond c-d about the bond b-d.The invention also relates to semiconductive polymers, monomers for preparing same, and methods for preparing random statistical conjugated polymers.
Abstract:
A photoradical generator which produces no low-molecular decomposition material but a radical during a photoradical generating process, does not generate a radical during a heating process, exists in a chemically stable state in a resulting product of a radical reaction such as a cured coating layer or the like, has high heat resistance, stability and preserving ability, and is excellent in compatibility or solubility is provided. The photoradical generator is comprised of a compound (a) having a seven-membered ring imide structure-containing group represented by the following formula (1), wherein, R1 to R8 respectively represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent and may be a cyclic structure in which they are bonded to each other.
Abstract:
This invention relates to novel lactams having the formula (I): 1 to their pharmaceutical compositions and to their methods of use. These novel compounds inhibit the processing of amyloid precursor protein and, more specifically, inhibit the production of Anull-peptide, thereby acting to prevent the formation of neurological deposits of amyloid protein. More particularly, the present invention relates to the treatment of neurological disorders related to null-amyloid production such as Alzheimer's disease and Down's Syndrome.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compounds which inhibit &bgr;-amyloid peptide release and/or its synthesis, and, accordingly, have utility in treating Alzheimer's disease. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound which inhibits &bgr;-amyloid peptide release and/or its synthesis as well as methods for treating Alzheimer's disease both prophylactically and therapeutically with such pharmaceutical compositions.
