Abstract: An oxidative stress inhibitor comprising a spherical activated carbon as an effective component is disclosed. The present invention is effective in the prevention or the treatment of a disease caused by oxidative stress, such as a kidney disease, a circulatory disease (for example, cardiovascular disease), a cancer, a diabetes, a cerebral stroke, or an arterial sclerosis.

Abstract: A novel nitrogen-containing compound effective against diseases such as HIV viral infectious diseases, rheumatism, and cancerous metastasis. It is a nitrogen-containing compound represented by the following general formula (1). In the formula, A typically represents a group represented by the formula (2) (A1 is hydrogen or an optionally substituted, mono- or polycyclic, heteroaromatic or aromatic ring; G1 is a single bond or a hydrocarbon group represented by the following formula (3) wherein R1, R2, and R3 may be optionally substituted hydrocarbon groups); W is an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group or heterocyclic ring; x is —C(═O)NH—; y is —C(═O)—; and D1 is hydrogen atom, alkyl having a polycyclic aromatic ring, di(substituted alkyl)amine, or alicyclic amine.

Abstract: To provide novel nitrogen-containing compounds having antagonism to CXCR4 and remedies for disease, such as rheumatism, cancer metastasis, etc., based on the CXCR4 antagonism.

Abstract: Conjugates of the formula ##STR1## are prepared by reacting an estradiol derivative with a compound of the formula: ##STR2## in the presence of thionyl chloride or a metal hydride at -30.degree. to 150.degree. C. for 3 minutes to 48 hours and then recovering and purifying the product.
