Abstract:
The present invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions improving percutaneous absorbability by absorption assistants, which remarkably increase permeation and dissolution of piroxicam, and penetration enhancers. A further surprising feature of the present invention resides in the fact that absorption assistant which assists penetration enhancer is able to include the active substance excessively in adhesive matrix as solvent of the active substance.
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:
The present invention relates to a method of producing biofuel, more specifically a method of producing biofuel comprising the steps of generating monosugars from marine algae, or from polysaccharides extracted from marine algae by treating the marine algae or the polysaccharides with a hydrolytic enzyme and/or a hydrolytic catalyst; and fermenting the monosugars using a microorganism to produce biofuel. The method of producing biofuel of the present invention solve the problem of raw material suppliance since it uses marine algae as a raw material for biomass, and reduce the production costs by excluding lignin eliminating process that has been required by the conventional method using wood-based raw materials, resulting in economic and environmental advantages.
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.
