Abstract: A method for treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction in a mammalian subject, the method involving administering to the mammalian subject an eye drop comprising 0.01 to 0.5% (w/v) of sirolimus or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as a sole active ingredient, wherein the eye drop is administered to the eyes of the mammalian subject 1 to 2 times per day.

Abstract: A compound represented by the formula (1): wherein R1 represents a hydroxyl group, a dimethylphosphynoyloxy group, etc.; and R2 and R3 represent a methoxy group, etc., or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can reduce a score of telangiectasia around the meibomian gland orifices and a number of obstruction at the orifices, so that it is useful as a prophylactic and/or therapeutic agent for meibomian gland dysfunction.

Abstract: A method for changing a condition of an eyelid of a hairless animal, a model animal for evaluating a therapeutic or prophylactic effect against an eyelid disease obtained by the method, a method for producing the model animal, a method of screening using the model animal and a substance having a therapeutic or prophylactic effect against an eyelid disease selected by the method of screening, and a therapeutic or prophylactic agent against an eyelid disease containing the substance as an active ingredient.

Abstract: A method for changing a condition of an eyelid of a mammal excluding a human, a model animal for evaluating a therapeutic or prophylactic effect against an eyelid disease obtained by the method, a method for producing the model animal, a method of screening using the model animal and a substance having a therapeutic or prophylactic effect against an eyelid disease selected by the method of screening, and a therapeutic or prophylactic agent against an eyelid disease containing the substance as an active ingredient.

Abstract: A method of preventing or treating a glucocorticoid receptor-related disease involving administering a therapeutically effective amount of a 1,2-dihydroquinoline compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: A method of preventing or treating a glucocorticoid receptor-related disease involving administering a therapeutically effective amount of a 1,2-dihydroquinoline compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to study synthesis of a novel 1,2-dihydroquinoline derivative and to find a pharmacological action of the derivative. A compound represented by the general formula (1) or a salt thereof is effective in the treatment of a glucocorticoid receptor-related disease. In the formula, the ring X represents a benzene ring or a pyridine ring; R1 represents a halogen atom, an alkyl group, a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group, an amino group or the like; p represents an integer of 0 to 5; R2 represents a halogen atom, an alkyl group, a hydroxy group or the like; q represents an integer of 0 to 2; R3 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group or the like; R4 and R5 represent a hydrogen atom or the like; R6 represents a hydrogen atom or the like; A represents an alkylene group or the like; and R7 represents OR8, NR8R9, SR8, S(O)R8 or S(O)2R8, wherein R8 represents an aryl group, a heterocyclic group or the like and R9 represents a hydrogen atom or the like.
