Tropolone derivatives represented by the formula (I), which have retinoid actions and are useful as active ingredients of medicaments [R 1 to R 4 represent hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an alkoxyl group; the ring represented by Ar represents an aryl ring or a heteroaryl ring; X represents a single bond, -N=N-,-CON(R 5 )-, -(C=C) n CON(R 6 )-, -N(R 7 )CON(R 8 )-, -SO 2 N(R 9 )-, -N(R 10 )- (R 5 to R 9 represent hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, n represents 1 to 3, R 10 represents hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an acyl group), an alkylene group, an aryldiyl group, or a heterocyclic diyl group; Y represents hydrogen atom, -OR 11 (R 11 represents hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an acyl group), -NHR 12 (R 12 represents hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an acyl group, or amino group), or a halogen atom.
摘要:
A medicament for prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment of a vascular disease such as vascular restenosis and/or reocclusion after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty using an intravascular stent, which comprises as an active ingredient a substance selected from the group consisting of retinoids and agents for controlling actions of retinoids such as 4-[5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthalenyl)carbamoyl]benzoic acid or a salt thereof, or 4-[[[3,5-bis-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl]carbonyl]amino]benzoic acid or a salt thereof, wherein said substance has substantially no antiproliferative action on vascular endothelial cells, but substantially has antiproliferative action on vascular smooth muscle cells.
摘要:
A method for forming an organ and/or tissue from undifferentiated cells derived from a vertebrate animal in vitro, which comprises the step of culturing the undifferentiated cells derived from a vertebrate animal in the presence of a retinoic acid X receptor ligand (e.g., a retinoic acid X receptor agonist or antagonist), and a method for forming a pancreas from undifferentiated cells derived from a vertebrate animal in vitro or a method for forming a tissue having morphology and function of a pancreas from undifferentiated cells derived from a vertebrate in vitro, which comprises the step of culturing the undifferentiated cells derived from a vertebrate animal in the presence of a retinoic acid receptor ligand, together with activin, that does not substantially bind to the retinoic acid receptor subtype γ.
摘要:
A method for preparing a crystal of 4-[(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthalenyl)carbamoyl]benzoic acid having a single endothermic peak approximately at 233°C in differential scanning calorimetry, which comprises the step of recrystallizing a crystal of 4-[(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthalenyl)carbamoyl]benzoic acid from a mixture of water and ethanol. The method enables selective preparation of type-II crystals which are stable against physical impact. The resulting crystals are free from highly toxic hexane as a residual solvent, and preferably used as an active ingredient of pharmaceuticals.
摘要:
A process for producing crystals of 4-[(5,6,7,8-tetra- hydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthalenyl)carbamoyl]benzoic acid exhibiting a single endothermic peak near 233°C in differential scanning calorimetry, which comprises the step of recrystallizing crystals of 4-[(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8 -tetramethyl-2-naphthalenyl)carbamoyl]benzoic acid from a water-ethanol mixture. This process enables selective production of type II crystals stable to physical impact, and the obtained crystals are free from highly toxic hexane as the residual solvent, thus being suitably usable as an active ingredient in medicines.
摘要:
A medicament for promoting memory consolidation, which comprises, as an active ingredient, a non-natural retinoid, preferably a retinoid having a basic skeleton comprising an aromatic ring bound with an aromatic carboxylic acid or tropolone by means of a bridging group, more preferably 4-[(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthalenyl)carbamoyl]benzoic acid or 4-[(3,5-bis-trimethylsilylphenyl)-carboxamido]benzoic acid.
