  • Publication number: 20130165555
    Abstract: The invention provides an aqueous painting material composition. which provides a coating film such that, after it has dried, it neither runs nor dissolves in water even if waterdrops adhere thereto, and such that it has water resistance in such a degree that, even if an extra layer of a second aqueous painting material composition is added thereon, it is not shifted, like the conventionally known emulsion paints, and further such that, even if it has adhered to a palette or a paintbrush, and dried, it can be readily washed away by washing it with water. The aqueous painting material composition comprises water, a coloring pigment, a water-soluble resin, and a resin emulsion, wherein the aqueous painting material composition contains a hydroxyalkyl cellulose only as the water-soluble resin, and the resin emulsion in an amount of 0.1% by weight or more and less than 5% by weigh in a solid basis.

  • Patent number: 7026488
    Abstract: Anticancer agents which contain as the active ingredient, a heme oxygenase inhibitory metalloporphyrin derivatives which are conjugated with amphipathic or water-soluble polymers (in particular, Zn-protoporphyrin (ZnPP) conjugated with polyethylene glycol). Because of being conjugated to amphipathic or water-soluble polymers, such as polyethylene glycol, the active ingredient can be administered by intravenous injection and can exert a remarkable anticancer effect owing to tumor selective delivery.
