Abstract: A medicine includes glycopyrronium salicylate or a solvate thereof, wherein the medicine is used for treating or preventing sialorrhea and the like. A therapeutic drug enables the treatment of sialorrhea by affixing and a novel salt of glycopyrronium is suitable for a transdermal absorptive preparation.

Abstract: An object is to provide a crystal of anagliptin, which has a high purity and is excellent in stability, low in hygroscopicity, and has a characteristic of easily dissolving into water, and a method for producing the crystal. An anagliptin crystal showing a powder X-ray diffraction pattern substantially the same as in FIG. 1, which has peaks around at 9.8°, 17.4°, 18.6°, 25.3°, and 25.8° as diffraction angles represented by 2?. The crystal is obtained by reacting N-(2-amino-2-methylpropyl)-2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxamide and (2S)—N-chloroacetyl-2-cyanopyrrolidine in an organic solvent, thereafter purifying the reaction solution by column chromatography to thus obtain an amorphia of anagliptin, and crystallizing the amorphia of anagliptin from 2-propanol.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a compound having a glucokinase-activating effect. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound represented by the general formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient: wherein X means a nitrogen atom or CR6, wherein R6 means a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom; R1 means a hydrogen atom, a C1-C6 alkyl group, a C1-C6 alkoxy group or a C1-C6 alkylthio group; R2 means a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom; R3 means a hydrogen atom or a C1-C6 alkyl group; and one of R4 and R5 means a hydrogen atom or a C1-C6 alkyl group, and the other means a C1-C6 alkylenecarboxylic acid, a C1-C6 alkylsulfonyl group, a C1-C6 alkylcarbonyl group, or CONH2.
