Abstract:
The disclosure provides compounds useful as adjuvants in vaccines, as well as methods of synthesizing such compounds and methods of using such compounds in the formulation of a vaccine. The disclosure also features methods of administering such vaccines to a subject (e.g., a mammalian subject, such as a human) in order to treat or prevent one or more diseases, such as a disease caused by a viral or bacterial infection.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a novel dihydroorotic acid dehydrogenase inhibitor which is applicable to various diseases. When used as an active ingredient, a compound represented by formula (I): (wherein X represents a halogen atom, R1 represents a hydrogen atom, R2 represents an alkyl group containing 1 to 7 carbon atoms, R3 represents —CHO, and R4 represents —CH2—CH═C(CH3)—R0 (wherein R0 represents an alkyl group containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms which may have a substituent on the terminal carbon and/or on a non-terminal carbon, etc.)), an optical isomer thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has a high inhibitory effect on dihydroorotic acid dehydrogenase and can be used as an immunosuppressive agent, a therapeutic agent for rheumatism, an anticancer agent, a therapeutic agent for graft rejection, an antiviral agent, an anti-H. pylori agent, a therapeutic agent for diabetes or the like.

Abstract:
A novel process for the manufacture of .beta.-keto alcohols from aldehydes comprising reacting a conjugated polyene aldehyde under basic conditions with a cyclocarbonate or derivative thereof. Certain carotenoid products of this process are novel compounds and are also an object of the present invention. The products, which for the most part belong to the carotenoid field, find corresponding use, for example, as colorants or pigments for foodstuffs, egg yolk, integuments and/or subcutaneous fat of poultry and flesh and/or integuments of fish and crustaceans.
Abstract:
Compound of formula ##STR1## wherein n is 0 or 1, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently methyl, ethyl or cyclopropyl and R is an optionally substituted phenyl or heteroaryl group or salt or ester thereof are useful in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
Abstract:
Compounds of formula ##STR1## in which n denotes an integer from 1 to 10 and X and Y, which are identical or different, each denote an electron-attracting group, are made by reacting a halogenating agent with a compound of formula ##STR2## in which R, X and Y are as hereinbefore defined, anionized by a base.
Abstract:
Derivatives of 11-deoxy-PGE.sub.2 are prepared. These new compounds not heretofore found in nature possess various pharmacological activities, one of which is bronchodilation.
Abstract:
A novel 2-[4-(3-oxo- or hydroxy-alkyl)phenyl]alkanoic acid and a non-toxic salt thereof. These compounds are useful for treating symptoms of inflammation and pain in mammals including man. This disclosure relates to such compounds, a process for producing the same, a pharmaceutical composition containing such a compound, and a method for treating symptoms of inflammation and pain.
