Abstract: Disclosed is an oral pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating dry eye syndrome, which comprises rebamipide or a prodrug thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as an active ingredient. The compounds can treat dry eye syndrome via oral route, and can be thus employed safely and conveniently compared to conventional eye drops.
Abstract: Disclosed are a novel rebamipide prodrug, a method for preparing the same, and use thereof. Also, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the novel rebamipide prodrug as an active ingredient is provided. The rebamipide prodrug is increased 25-fold in absorption rate compared to rebamipide itself, and can be applied to the prophylaxis or therapy of gastric ulcer, acute gastritis, chronic gastritis, xerophthalmia, cancer, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or obesity.

Abstract: Disclosed are spherical particles of clopidogrel bisulfate and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same. The spherical particles can be used for preparing a tablet having sufficient hardness through direct compression, by improving unformulable properties of clopidogrel bisulfate such as compressibility, flowability and strong surface electrostatic charges, reduce a problem in compressing tablets such as weight variation, sticking, etc., and the risk of form conversion, and improve physiochemical stability. Therefore, the spherical particles of the present invention may be used as therapeutics for arteriosclerosis, stroke, myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis.
