  • Publication number: 20220193020
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising trimebutine as an active ingredient for prevention or treatment of cancer. Having an excellent effect of selectively inhibiting growth and proliferation of cancer stem cells, the pharmaceutical composition can suppress the recurrence, metastasis, and progression of cancer even when used alone. Thus, the composition can be advantageously used as a pharmaceutical composition for prevention or treatment of cancer or in combination with other agents.

  • Patent number: 10668061
    Abstract: Provided are a posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) animal model in which dopamine receptor subtype 4 (D4R) is damaged or deficient, a method for preparing the same, a method for screening a drug for treating PTSD using the same, and a pharmaceutical composition for treating PTSD comprising a drug detected by the screening method. As it is identified that a specific type of dopamine receptor is associated with a mechanism for fear memory expression induced by long-term depression (LTD), the understanding of pathogenesis of PTSD may be heightened, the animal model exhibiting similar clinical conditions of PTSD and the method for preparing the same may be applied in analyses for stability and effectiveness of a therapeutic agent for PTSD and screening of a therapeutic drug. Further, an agonist of D4R contained in the composition has been approved by the US FDA and clinically used for psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, and thus may be immediately used for clinical applications for PTSD symptoms.

  • Patent number: 6156401
    Abstract: Disclosed are an oxygen barrier resin composition and products containing the resin. The resin composition comprises 20 to 80 wt % of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, 5 to 79 wt % of an ethylene copolymer, and 1 to 30 wt % of a compatibilizer obtained between a random copolymer of ethylene-maleic anhydride-alkyl(meth)acrylate and a polyamide oligomer ranging, in molecular weight, from 1,000 to 5,000. The compatibilizer functions in such a way that the main chain of the polyamide penetrates into the ethylene-vinyl alcohol phase while the main chain of the ethylene-alkyl(meth)acrylate exists in the ethylene copolymer phase. The resin composition is superior in both melt-moldability and compatibility, providing films, sheets or bottles with superb appearance (transparency), mechanical strength and oxygen barrier.
