Abstract:
Disclosed are agents that inhibit histone deacetylase. More specifically, the present invention relates to novel hydroxamic acid derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for anticancer agents or other therapeutic agents based on their histone deacetylase inhibitory activity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel pyrimidine acyclonucleoside derivatives represented by general formula (I), antiviral agents containing the derivatives as the active ingredients and processes of preparation therefor. In formula (I), R represents ethyl group or isopropyl group; R represents phenylselenenyl group, optionally substituted with one or more suitable substituents selected from C1-C3 alkyl group or halogen atom; R represents hydrogen atom, C1-C3 alkyl group, C1-C3 hydroxyalkyl group, acyloxyalkyl group, or phenyl group that is optionally substituted with one or more suitable substituents selected from C1-C3 alkyl group, C1-C3 alkoxy group or halogen atom; X represents oxygen atom or sulfur atom; and Y represents oxygen atom or methylene; with the proviso that R does not represent ethyl group when R represents phenylselenenyl group, R represents methyl group, and X and Y represent oxygen atom.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for producing proteins having factor VIII procoagulant activity in serum-free medium by in vitro culturing of mammalian cells, wherein the serum-free medium contains an inhibitor against the protease released from cultured cells. In accordance with this invention, the inhibitor can protect the cleavage of a target protein during cultivation and increase homogeneity of a target molecule, wherein the inhibitor can be a dextran sulfate. This invention also relates to a method of purifying target molecules from the culture medium containing both a target molecule and selected inhibitors by affinity chromatography.
Abstract:
This invention relates to 2-pyridyl substituted imidazoles which are inhibitors of the transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß) type I receptor (ALK5) and/or the activin type I receptor (ALK4), methods for their preparation, and their use in medicine, specifically in the treatment and prevention of a disease state mediated by these receptors.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are novel platinum(II) complexe having a potent anti-tumor activity which are represented by formula (1), wherein R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, are a hydrogen atom or a C1-4 alkyl group, respectively, or jointly form a cycloalkane group together with the carbon atom attached thereto; two Xs jointly form a group represented by formula (a) or (b) wherein, R3 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; R4 and R5, which may be the same or different, are a hydrogen atom or a C1-4 alkyl group, respectively, or jointly form a cyclobutane together with the carbon thereto; and the absolute configurations at the respective chiral centers in the 4,5-bis(aminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane moiety are (4R, 5R) or (4S, 5S); processes for preparing the same; and their use for treating animal or human cancer. Further, disclosed herein are novel intermediates useful for the preparation of the platinum(II) complexes and processes for preparing said intermediates.
