Abstract: This invention relates to a phosphodiesterase IV inhibitor containing as an active ingredient a pyridylacrylamide derivative represented by the following formula (I): (wherein Ar1 represents substituted or unsubstituted pyridyl; Ar2 represents phenyl substituted by alkoxy, etc.; R1 represents hydrogen, alkyl, or aryl; R2 represents hydrogen, alkyl, cyano, or alkoxycarbonyl; R3 represents hydrogen or optionally substituted alkyl; X represents oxygen or sulfur; A and B are the same or different and each independently represents hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkoxy, or alkylthio, or A and B together represent oxo, thioxo, etc., or A may be hydroxyl and B may be 1-alkylimidazol-2-yl; and n is an integer from 1 to 3) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: There is provided a compact and simple dispenser for dispensing envelopes each containing a predetermined number of paper sheets such as bank notes and being positively guided by perforations formed at the marginal side or sides of the envelopes. A series of envelopes is housed and stocked in a container unit of the dispenser while being folded one on another to form a train of envelopes which are cut off along the folded lines and then dispensed individually under the control of the central control center. The dispenser of the invention comprises the container unit which has a lock, and a dispensing unit having a cavity for receiving the container unit and a locking device for releasingly locking the lock of the container unit until a signal instructing disassembly of the container unit from the dispensing unit is received.
