Abstract: The present invention relates to amine derivatives represented by formula (1) or salts thereof. R3 represents C1-C3 alkyl, hydroxylated C1-C5 alkyl, C1-C5 acyl; C2-C5 alkenyl, or a halogen atom; and k, l, and m are each an integer of 1 to 4.) Exhibiting excellent antifungal effect, these compounds are highly useful as antifungal agents, antifungal compositions, drugs, etc.

Abstract: Novel amine derivatives having an excellent antimycotic effect represented by general formula (1) below and salts thereof are provided. [in the formula (1, R1 represents a C1-5 alkyl group which may be halogenated, R2 represents 4-(1,1-dimethylalkyl)benzyl group, 4-(1-methyl-phenylethyl)benzyl group, 1-or 2-naphthylmethyl group, or a hydrocarbon group having 3,3-dimethyl-1-butynyl group or a phenyl group at its terminal and 1 to 3 double bonds; R3 represents oxygen atom or a methylene group which may be substituted by a C1-4 alkyl group; and R4 represents 1-or 2 naphthyl group or a phenyl group which may be substituted.

Abstract: This invention relates to compounds represented by the following formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, R.sup.2 represents a substituted or unsubstituted phenylene group, R.sup.3 represents a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group or an aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing at least four .pi. electrons, R.sup.4 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and m and n individually represent integers of from 1 to 4, or salts thereof, and also to compositions containing the same. These compounds have antifungal activities and are useful as drugs.

Abstract: In the catheter comprising: a balloon 11 provided with a front and a rear opening end and a thin wall made of synthetic resins; an outer tube 21; an inner tube 31 which is disposed inside the outer tube 21 and has its tip portion projected outward from the outer tube 21; and, the balloon 11 having the front and the rear opening end fixedly mounted in a water-tight manner on the inner tube 31 and the outer tube 21 to form a front fixed portion 61 and a rear fixed portion 61', respectively;a plurality of parallel-extending circumferential grooves 41 are provided to a distal area 32 of the inner tube 31, each of the circumferential grooves 41 having a predetermined length, and said distal area having a certain length which extends from said front fixed portion and over said rear fixed portion in a direction of the hub portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel polysilane composition and, more specifically, to a polysilane composition that is soluble in organic solvents, that has a molecular weight in the range of 2,000 to 1,000,000, and that has a short-wavelength (.ltoreq.285 nm) absorption maximum at room temperature.

Abstract: The apparatus is provided with a pair of opposed blades having sharp edges intersecting at an angle and blunt parallel edges contiguous to the sharp edges and spaced a minimum spacing which is larger than the diameter of the optical fiber clad but smaller than the outer diameter of the coating coated on the optical fiber. Accordingly when the coated optical fiber is urged between the blades, the coating is cut from the opposite sides of the blunt parallel edges except for a small thickness of the coating so that the coating can be readily removed without injuring the fiber clad. When the optical fiber is pulled outward from the apparatus, the coating portion to be removed is stripped without imparting any injury to the fiber clad.
