  • Patent number: 12129698
    Abstract: A sliding door driving device is fixed to a body panel of a vehicle and operates a sliding door of the vehicle in an opening direction and a closing direction. The sliding door driving device includes an elongated guide frame, a first driven pulley and a second driven pulley that are rotatably supported at both ends in a longitudinal direction of the guide frame, a belt that is wound around the first driven pulley and the second driven pulley, and a cover that covers the belt. The cover has an upper wall that covers the belt from above, an outer wall that extends downward from an outer end of the upper wall in a width direction of the vehicle, and an inner wall that extends downward from an inner end of the upper wall in the width direction.

  • Patent number: 7041818
    Abstract: A DDS compound comprising a carboxy(C1-4)alkyldextran polyalcohol modified with a saccharide compound and a residue of drug compound bound to the carboxy(C1-4)alkyldextran polyalcohol, and a method for measuring a DDS compound in which a polymer carrier and a residue of drug compound are bound to each other by means of a spacer comprising 2 to 8 amino acids linked by peptide bond(s), which comprises the steps of treating the DDS compound with a peptidase, and measuring the resulting hydrolysate.

  • Patent number: 6838450
    Abstract: A drug complex characterized in that a residue of a drug compound such as antineoplastic agents and a carboxy(C1-4)alkyldextran polyalcohol obtained by treating a dextran under conditions that enable substantially complete polyalcoholization are bound to each other by means of a spacer comprising an amino acid or a spacer comprising peptide-bonded 2 to 8 amino acids. Said complex is characterized in that it has excellent selectivity to tumorous sites so as to exhibit high antineoplastic activity and also achieves reduced appearance of toxicity.

  • Patent number: 6835807
    Abstract: A drug complex useful as a DDS compound, which is represented by the following formula: A-R—NH—Y—CH2—O—CO-Q, wherein A is a polymer as a drug carrier; R is a spacer, wherein the spacer is an amino acid or an oligopeptide comprising 2 to 8 amino acids; Y is phenylene group which may be substituted; and Q is a residue of a drug compound such as antineoplastic agents. The complex provides rapid and site-selective release of a drug compound such as antineoplastic or anti-inflammatory agents and surely exhibits expected efficacy.
