Patent number: 11613671Abstract: An anti-settling agent composition for aqueous coating materials, comprising [A] a polyamide which is obtained by polymerizing a diamine having 2-12 carbon atoms and an excess amount, relative to diamine, of either a dicarboxylic acid having 4-36 carbon atoms or a mixture of a dicarboxylic acid having 4-36 carbon atoms and a monocarboxylic acid having 2-22 carbon atoms, and [B] a hydrophobic organic compound which is a hydrocarbon modified with 1-3 hydroxyl groups and/or carboxyl groups and having 10-54 carbon atoms, and which has a freezing point of 20° C. or less or does not have a definite freezing point. The anti-settling agent is able to be easily dispersed in a coating material even if directly added into the coating material without being diluted when added into the coating material, and which imparts the coating material with excellent anti-settling properties.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: KUSUMOTO CHEMICALS, LTD.Inventors: Makoto Ubukata, Hironori Nishiyama, Toshiki Saito

Publication number: 20080160119Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to identify compounds having an inhibitory effect on adipocyte differentiation, and to provide pharmaceutical compositions and food compositions for prevention, improvement, or treatment of obesity or obesity related diseases. By enthusiastically studying natural products that inhibit the differentiation induction of adipocyte precursors into adipocytes, sesquiterpenoid derivatives, which are extracts from a Compositae plant, Calea, growing in Central and South America, were demonstrated to have an excellent inhibitory effect on adipocyte differentiation induction. Calea extract or the sesquiterpenoid derivatives are expected to be used in pharmaceutical compositions and food compositions for prevention, improvement, or treatment of obesity or obesity related diseases.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2008Publication date: July 3, 2008Inventors: Munekazu Iinuma, Toshiyuki Tanaka, Makoto Ubukata, Nobuyasu Matsuura, Masashi Yamada, Hiroto Suzuki
