Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide an excellent cartilage regeneration-promoting agent that can promote regeneration of cartilage efficiently and is highly safe, and a medicine and a food that utilizes the cartilage regeneration-promoting agent. Thus, the present invention relates to a cartilage regeneration-promoting agent that includes at least one of hydroxytyrosol and a precursor of hydroxytyrosol, and to a medicine and a food that includes the cartilage regeneration-promoting agent.
Abstract:
An insulated transformer, which can suppress aging deterioration and can reduce the influence of noise caused by external magnetic flux, while improving reliability and environmental resistance, and can send and receive signals while electrically insulating a low-voltage side and a high-voltage side. A secondary coil is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a primary coil is formed on one face of a glass substrate. The primary coil fixes the glass substrate formed on one face onto the semiconductor substrate through the other face of the glass substrate by an adhesive layer.

Abstract:
The invention provides a novel heterocyclic ring condensed benzothiazine compound which is effective for prevention or remedy of disease, in which histamine, leukotriene and the like participate. The heterocyclic ring condensed benzothiazine compound of the present invention or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof is effective for prevention or remedy of disease, in which a chemical mediator, such as histamine, leukotriene and the like, participate, for example, asthma, allergic coryza, atopic dermatitis, hives, hay fever, gastrointestinal allergy, food allergy and the like. Further, the heterocyclic ring condensed benzothiazine compound of the present invention, its pharmacologically acceptable salt or hydrates thereof is represented by the following formula: In the formula, the ring Het represents an unsaturated heterocyclic ring; R1 and R2 are the same as or different from each other, and each represents halogen atom, a lower alkyl group that may be substituted with a halogen atom, a lower alkoxy group that may be substituted with a halogen atom, a lower alkyl lower alkoxy group, cyano group; D represents a lower alkylene group and the like that may have a substituent; Q represents, for example, the formula —NR20R2 (in the formula, R20 and R21 are the same as or different from each other, and each represents hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group that may be substituted with a halogen atom, an aryl group that may have a substituent, an arylalkyl group that may have a substituent, a heteroaryl group that may have a substituent or a heteroarylalkyl group that may have a substituent, or R20 and R21 may form a 3- to 8-membered ring along with the nitrogen atom to which they are bound); and x represents an integer of from 1 to 2.
Abstract:
Described is a heterocycle-containing carboxylic acid derivative represented by the following formula (I): wherein A represents, for example, a heteroaryl group which contains at least one nitrogen atom and may have a substituent, B represents, for example, a heteroarylene group, a —CONH— group or a group represented by the formula —CR6═CR7— in which R6 and R7 represents H, a lower alkyl group or the like, D represents an arylene group, a heteroarylene group or the like, n1 stands for 0 or 1, M represents, for example, a hydroxyl group or a lower alkoxy group; or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof. As a retinoic-related compound replacing retinoic acid, it permits the provision of a preventive and/or therapeutic for various diseases.
