  • Patent number: 7534475
    Abstract: A new liquid crystal compound comprises two condensed and substituted rings. The ring preferably is a five-membered heterocyclic ring. The heterocyclic ring is preferably condensed with benzene ring or an aromatic six-membered heterocyclic ring. The benzene ring or the aromatic six-membered heterocyclic ring is preferably substituted with a group comprising a cyclic structure and a chain structure. The liquid crystal compound is advantageously used in preparation of a thin phase retarder, such as a wide-ranged ?/4 plate, which gives inverse wavelength distribution. The phase retarder can be easily produced according to a simple process by using the new liquid crystal compound.

    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a compound which may be used for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases in which 5-HT2B receptor and 5-HT7 receptor are concerned, particularly for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). [Means for Resolution] It was found that a pyrrole derivative characterized by the possession of a guanidinocarbonyl group or amido group as a substituent group at the 3-position, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, has a strong antagonism for both of the 5-HT2B receptor and 5-HT7 receptor. In addition, the compound of the present invention having the antagonistic activity for both of the receptors showed a good pharmacological action in comparison with the case in which an antagonist selective for either one of the receptors was used alone. Based on the above, the compound of the present invention is useful for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases in which 5-HT2B receptor and 5-HT7 receptor are concerned, particularly for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

    Abstract: The present invention provides novel reactive fluorescent compounds that incorporate stable isotopic (deuterium, 13-carbon, 15-nitrogen, 18-oxygen) substitutions. The invention includes the use of these compounds, in combination with non-isotopically substituted analogs, for the purification, identification and relative quantification of proteins, peptides, saccharides, metabolites, and other biologically important compounds by combining liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS). Fluorescent labeling of target compounds in this manner provides orders-of-magnitude sensitivity enhancement over traditional stable isotope labels, and also affords the possibility of simultaneous multiplexed analysis due to the multiwavelength nature of different fluorophores.
