  • Patent number: 9701637
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a probe for imaging a ?-sheet structure protein which can be used for the diagnosis of conformational diseases, particularly disease (tauopathy) having a cardinal symptom such as intracerebral accumulation of tau protein, for example, Alzheimer's disease. Another object of the present invention is to provide a compound which is highly specific to tau and can image tau with satisfactory sensitivity, and also has high brain transition, low or non-recognized bone-seeking properties and low or non-recognized toxicity. According to the present invention, the above problems are solved by providing a compound of a formula I (wherein A, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, Ra and Rb are as defined in the present description) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

  • Patent number: 9649384
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a synergistic blend of heptyl glucoside and olive oil derivatives, which is included as a natural solubilizer agent in transdermal compositions to improve API solubilization. Improved solubilization of APIs increases the absorption of APIs into the patient's bloodstream resulting in desired levels of hormones. Reduction of the amount of APIs within the transdermal compositions to achieve the desired levels of hormones will reduce symptoms of hormone deficiency. The synergistic blend within transdermal compositions functions as a solubilizer agent, which allows complete dissolution of hormones, improves water solubility and increases skin permeation. Hormones that can be used in transdermal compositions comprising the synergistic blend include systemically active hormones, which are delivered through the skin with the assistance of natural solubilizer agents and skin penetration enhancers to achieve a desired effect.
