  • Publication number: 20230125280
    Abstract: Novel tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds are disclosed herein that may be used as an active ingredient for a pharmaceutical composition, and in particular, for a pharmaceutical composition useful for preventing or treating a disease or condition responsive to modulation of the contractility of the skeletal sarcomere. This may be accomplished, for example, by modulation of the troponin complex of the fast skeletal muscle sarcomere through one or more of fast skeletal myosin, actin, tropomyosin, troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T, and fragments and isoforms thereof. The tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds can thus be used as an agent for preventing or treating 1) neuromuscular disorders, 2) disorders of voluntary muscle, 3) CNS disorders in which muscle weakness, atrophy, and fatigue are prominent symptoms, 4) muscle symptoms stemming from systemic disorders, and 5) dysfunctions of pelvic floor and urethral/anal sphincter muscle.

  • Patent number: 4805516
    Abstract: An axial air motor having a plurality of cylinders disposed around the axis of rotation of an output shaft in such a manner that the direction of movement of the pistons is parallel with the output shaft. The air motor is provided with a swash plate which is rotatably mounted on the output shaft through a bearing and which is directly pressed by means of a ball which is mounted on each piston. Accordingly, the structure of the motor as a whole is simplified and the frictional resistance occurring between constituent parts can be minimized. Thus, it is possible to achieve an efficient axial air motor. Further, since a lubricant can be charged in a hole for receiving the ball in advance, it is possible to reduce the frictional resistance occurring between the ball and the swash plate even in a non-lubricated operation.
