  • Patent number: 10329252
    Abstract: The present invention provides a compound represented by General Formula (I). The compound according to the present invention prevents the liquid crystal composition from being deteriorated due to light, has high compatibility with the liquid crystal composition, and does not impair the storage stability of the liquid crystal composition, thus the compound is useful as a constituent member of a liquid crystal composition. Since the liquid crystal composition and the liquid crystal display element containing the compound of the present invention exhibit UV resistance and have a high VHR, it is possible to obtain a liquid crystal display element with excellent display quality in which display defects such as burn-in and display unevenness do not occur or are suppressed.

  • Patent number: 10308671
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with derivatives of 3,5-diphenyl-diazole compounds, which are effective therapeutic agents for use in treating diseases linked to protein aggregation and/or neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). The therapeutic effect is caused by the inhibition of the protein aggregation in the affected tissue, such as the brain. 3,5-Diphenyl-diazole derivatives have been shown to be effective in inhibiting aggregation of proteins but are also characterized by their poor solubility in aqueous solutions. The prodrugs of the invention are modified 3,5-diphenyl-diazole derivatives, which are characterized by their improved solubility in aqueous solutions, and by their increased bioavailability.
