摘要:
It is intended to provide a therapeutic and/or diagnostic agent that can be used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) capable of utilizing infrared-spectrum light such as near-infrared light (NIR), infrared light, or far-infrared light, which attains a deep body penetration. The present invention provides a photodynamic therapeutic or diagnostic agent or a photodynamic therapeutic or diagnostic kit for cancer or infectious disease, comprising: a particle (e.g., a lanthanide particle) that emits upconversion luminescence by infrared-spectrum light such as near-infrared light having a wavelength of 0.7 μm to 2.5 μm; and a photosensitizer (e.g., porphyrin) or a 5-aminolevulinic acid group.

The present invention provides an agent for promoting graft survival which can suppress rejection without use of existing immunosuppressants, an organ preservation solution capable of maintaining the freshness of an organ excised from a donor, and the like. An agent for promoting graft survival or an organ preservation solution is prepared, which comprises 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) or a derivative thereof, or a salt of ALA or the derivative and an iron compound as active ingredients. Preferable examples of the ALAs can include ALA and various esters such as methyl ester, ethyl ester, propyl ester, butyl ester, and pentyl ester of ALA, and their hydrochlorides, phosphates, and sulfates. Preferable examples of the iron compound can include sodium ferrous citrate.

It is to provide photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) which are suitable for the diagnosis and therapy of a part requiring a certain degree of deep penetration, such as subcutaneous cancer and lymph nodes surrounded by blood vessels and fat. This is solved by performing PDT and PDD targeting cancer by administering a composition comprising a photosensitizing agent such as a tetrapyrrole-based compound (photofrin, protoporphyrin IX, etc.) or ALAs such as 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), ALA methyl ester, ALA ethyl ester, ALA propyl ester, ALA butyl ester, ALA pentyl ester, or a hydrochloride, phosphate, or sulfate thereof followed by irradiation with excitation light at a wavelength of 480 to 580 nm.
摘要:
Provided is an antimalarial drug which is useful for prevention and treatment of infectious diseases caused by malaria parasites. A preventive and/or therapeutic agent for malaria, which contains, as an active ingredient, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a derivative thereof, or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, is used.
摘要:
To provide a hop alpha acid or hop oil content enhancer, which increases the content of a hop alpha acid or a hop oil.A hop alpha acid or hop oil content enhancer, which comprises 5-aminolevulinic acid, or a derivative thereof represented by the following formula (1), or a salt thereof as an active ingredient: R2R1NCH2COCH2CH2COR3 (1) wherein R1 and R2 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an acyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryl group, or an aralkyl group; R3 represents a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, an acyloxy group, an alkoxycarbonyloxy group, an aryloxy group, an aralkyloxy group, or an amino group.
摘要:
According to the present invention, a tumor diagnostic agent which carries out early stage detection, monitoring of therapeutic effect and prognostic diagnosis of all tumors The tumor diagnostic agent of the present invention is a tumor diagnostic agent comprising δ-aminolevulinic acid represented by formula (I), a derivative thereof and a salt thereof: R2R1NCH2COCH2CH2COR3 (I) wherein R1 and R2 each independently represents hydrogen, alkyl, acyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aryl or aralkyl; and R3 represents hydroxy, alkoxy, acyloxy, alkoxycarbonyloxy, aryloxy, aralkyloxy or amino, which is used for diagnoses by measuring porphyrins in a sample collected from the inside or outside of the body after its administration.
摘要:
Provided is a symmetrical filter that uses a single comparator. In addition to a voltage divider, a current regulator, and a comparator, the filter of the invention provides control logic that turns on or off a pull up switch and/or pull down switch in order to fully charge or fully discharge a capacitor. Accordingly, in one aspect, the invention is a control logic for a symmetrical filter. Furthermore, timing logic is provided to provide for a more rigorous symmetrical filter performance.
摘要:
A internal circuitry protection scheme which protects on-IC circuitry when an external pin is shorted to a higher than normal voltage. The disclosed solution eliminates cross-talk due to a parasitic NPN.
摘要:
A method for improving plant salt-tolerance is described, which comprises treating a plant with an active ingredient comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of 5-aminolevulinic acid, a derivative of 5-aminolevulinic acid, a salt of 5-aminolevulinic acid, a salt of derivatives of 5-aminolevulinic acid, and hemins. Furthermore, a salt-tolerant plant is described, wherein the plant is treated with the above-described active ingredient. Moreover, a method for causing recovery of a salt-damaged plant is described, comprising administering the above-described active ingredient to a salt-damaged plant.
