Abstract: A therapeutic agent for treating at least one disease selected from the group consisting of inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, fibrotic diseases, and cancer diseases, comprising: at least one selected from the group consisting of a compound represented by the following general formula (1) and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof as an active ingredient. [In the formula (1), R1 and R2 may be the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a carboxy group, a cyano group, an optionally substituted C1-6 alkyl group et al.; R3 represents a hydrogen atom; R4 represents an optionally substituted 4- to 10-membered monocyclic heterocyclic group containing 1 to 4 heteroatoms selected from an oxygen atom, a nitrogen atom, and a sulfur atom; X represents a group represented by the following formula: —CH2—, —CH2—CH2—, —CH2—CH2—CH2—, or —CH2—O—CH2—; and Z represents a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group.

Abstract: A heat-sensitive recording material which comprises a color-forming layer containing a coupling substance which is usually colorless or light-colored and a developer which gives rise to color in the coupling substance upon heating, wherein the color-forming layer contains an organic phosphate, its metal salt or its basic salt of the following general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 each represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 9 carbon atoms, M represents a hydrogen atom or a metal atom having a valence of 1 to 4, L represents 0 or 1, m, represents a number of 0 to 1, n represents 1 or 2, and m+n represents the valence of the metal M.

Abstract: A heat-sensitive recording material wherein 1,2-bis(3,4-dimethylphenyl)ethane is contained as a sensitizer in a color-forming layer comprising a usually colorless or light-colored coupling substance and a developer which causes coloring of the coupling substance upon heating.

Abstract: A heat-sensitive recording material which comprises a usually colorless or light-colored coloring material together with one or more compounds selected from among bissulfonate compounds, 2-substituted cyclohexyl sulfonate derivatives and biscycloalkyl aryldisulfonate derivatives.

Abstract: The process for producing a ceramic molding of the present invention comprises adding 0.1 to 20 parts by weight of an adduct of epoxidized polybutadiene with an organic amine to 100 parts by weight of a ceramic powder.

Abstract: The phenol compound of the present invention can be readily produced by, for example, reacting glyoxal, glutaraldehyde or crotonaldehyde with particular phenols. The phenol compound of the present invention is useful not only as a developer but also as an antioxidant for, e.g., synthetic resins and as an intermediate in the production of medicines or agricultural chemicals.The heat-sensitive recording material of the present invention, which contains the phenol compound as described above, shows little discoloration of the developed color and little coloration of the ground even at a high temperature and high humidity. Thus it is highly superior to conventional ones.
