  • Publication number: 20230302448
    Abstract: In a nucleic acid amplification chip, a filter is provided inside or outside a PCR reaction container with respect to a micro-flow channel. Here, the filter is fixed to the PCR reaction container via a fixing portion. In this case, since the fixing portion is formed, the reliability of fixing the filter to the PCR reaction container can be improved. For this reason, the leakage of an evaporated sample solution (aerosol) from a gap between the filter and the PCR reaction container can be suppressed. Further, since the fixing portion is formed, the leakage of the evaporated sample solution (aerosol) can be suppressed without increasing the thickness of the filter, so that the filter can be made thin. As a result, the overall thickness of the nucleic acid amplification chip can also be reduced, so that the degree of freedom in designing the nucleic acid amplification chip is improved.

  • Patent number: 10525058
    Abstract: The present invention provides a urea derivative or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof that has a formyl peptide receptor like 1 (hereinafter may be abbreviated as FPRL1) agonist effect, a pharmaceutical composition containing the urea derivative or the pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutical use thereof. It has been found that a urea derivative represented by the general formula (I) below or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof has a superior FPRL1 agonist effect. Compound (I) or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof is highly useful for treatment, prevention, or suppression of inflammatory diseases, chronic airway diseases, cancers, septicemia, allergic symptoms, HIV retrovirus infection, circulatory disorders, neuroinflammation, nervous disorders, pains, prion diseases, amyloidosis, immune disorders and the like.

  • Publication number: 20130331378
    Abstract: A pyrazolopyridine derivative represented by the following formula (I) or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof exhibits a strong EP1 receptor antagonistic effect. Thus, the derivative or the pharmacologically acceptable salt is useful as a therapeutic agent for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), particularly, overactive bladder syndrome (OABs), or a prophylactic agent therefor and furthermore, is also useful in the treatment, prevention, or suppression of various pathological conditions in which the EP1 receptor is involved, such as inflammatory disease, pain disease, osteoporosis, and cancer. [A is a benzene ring or the like, Y1 is C1-6 alkylene, R1 is —C(?O)—OZ1 or the like, Z1 is H or the like, R2 is a branched C3-6 alkyl group or the like, R3 is H or the like, R4 is a hydrogen atom or the like, and R5 is a hydrogen atom or the like].
