Abstract: A type II crystal of 3-(3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxybenzoyl)-1,1-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzothiazole, having characteristic peaks at least around 15.1, 18.1, 22.8, 23.7, and 24.0 degrees in a diffraction angle (2?) by X-ray powder diffraction, and method for producing said type II crystal.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a novel bisphosphonic acid compound or a salt thereof which shows a remarkable inhibitory effect on ectopic calcification, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same. The present invention provides a bisphosphonic acid compound represented by the following formula (1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: wherein represents a single bond or a double bond; A represents a saturated cyclic hydrocarbon or a saturated heterocyclic ring comprising a sulfur atom or an oxygen atom; and R1 and R2 each independently represent an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, a haloalkoxy group, a haloalkyl group, a halogen atom or a hydrogen atom.

Abstract: Disclosed are a novel compound and a pharmaceutical product, each having a remarkable uricosuric effect. Specifically disclosed are: a novel phenol derivative represented by general formula (1) that is shown in FIG. 1; a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; a hydrate of the derivative or the salt; and a solvate of the derivative or the salt. (In the formula, R1 and R2 may be the same or different and each represents a lower alkyl group, a lower alkenyl group, a lower alkynyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a haloalkyl group, a haloalkoxy group, an alkylsulfanyl group, an alkylsulfinyl group, an alkylsulfonyl group, a lower alkyl-substituted carbamoyl group, a saturated nitrogen-containing heterocyclic N-carbonyl group, a halogen atom, a cyano group or a hydrogen atom; R3 represents a lower alkyl group, a haloalkyl group, a halogen atom, a hydroxy group or a hydrogen atom; and X represents a sulfur atom, an —S(?O)— group or an —S(?O)2— group.
