摘要:
Described is a highly safe means to improve visibility of transparent tissues of the eye, i.e., the vitreous body, the lens or the cornea, in a surgical operation on them. The means comprises fine particles of a macromolecular compound, in particular, those one gram of which cannot be dissolved in less than 30 mL of water within 30 minutes at 20 °C, and whose average particle size is 0.01-500 µm, and which, among others, is a biodegradable macromolecular compound and/or a water soluble macromolecular compound.
摘要:
It is intended to provide an agent for promoting corneal neuritogenesis containing PACAP, a PACAP derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in particular, an agent for promoting corneal neuritogenesis aiming at improving corneal sensitivity, treating dry eye and treating corneal epithelial injury due to an effect of promoting corneal neuritogenesis. This agent for promoting corneal neuritogenesis is useful as a drug for ameliorating reduction in corneal sensitivity following corneal surgeries such as laser keratonomy (LASIK) and corneal grafting or cataract surgery, reduction in corneal sensitivity accompanying corneal neurodegeneration and dry eye symptom and corneal epithelial injury accompanying such reduction in corneal sensitivity. Moreover, it is useful as a drug for ameliorating dry eye symptom, reduction in corneal sensitivity and corneal epithelial injury in patients with dry eye, and a drug for ameliorating corneal epithelial injury and dry eye symptom and reduction in corneal sensitivity accompanying therewith.
摘要:
Novel vitamin E derivatives represented by general formula (I) or pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof which are useful as hepatopathy inhibitors, anticataract agents, cerebral metabolism activators, antioxidants and cosmetic components. In Formula (I), R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and each represents hydrogen or methyl; R 3 represents an SH compound bonded via an S-bond selected from among glutathione, γ-glutamylcysteine, cysteine, penicillamine, esters thereof and cysteamine, and R 4 represents hydroxy, an N-substituted amino acid selected from among glycine, β-alanine, γ-aminobutyric acid, 5-aminovaleric acid, ε-aminocaproic acid, anthranilic acid, tranexamic acid, proline, esters thereof, aminoethylsulfonic acid and aminoethylsulfinic acid, or serotonin.
