  • Publication number: 20230125280
    Abstract: Novel tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds are disclosed herein that may be used as an active ingredient for a pharmaceutical composition, and in particular, for a pharmaceutical composition useful for preventing or treating a disease or condition responsive to modulation of the contractility of the skeletal sarcomere. This may be accomplished, for example, by modulation of the troponin complex of the fast skeletal muscle sarcomere through one or more of fast skeletal myosin, actin, tropomyosin, troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T, and fragments and isoforms thereof. The tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds can thus be used as an agent for preventing or treating 1) neuromuscular disorders, 2) disorders of voluntary muscle, 3) CNS disorders in which muscle weakness, atrophy, and fatigue are prominent symptoms, 4) muscle symptoms stemming from systemic disorders, and 5) dysfunctions of pelvic floor and urethral/anal sphincter muscle.

  • Publication number: 20070219389
    Abstract: [Problems] To provide a process for the synthesis of cyclopentenenitrile derivatives through conjugate addition of a nitrile derivative to an ?,?-unsaturated ketone whereby cyclopentenenitrile derivatives, particularly those capable of optical resolution, can be obtained in high yield without expensive reagents or compounds in a decreased number of steps. [Means for Solving Problems] A novel process for the production of cyclopentenenitrile derivatives in high yield, which comprises trapping a compound obtained by conjugate addition of a 4-alkoxy-3-butenenitrile which may have alkyl or allyl at the ?-position (e.g., 4-methoxy-3-butenenitrile) to an ?,?-unsaturated ketone as an enol ester with acetic anhydride, chlorocarbonic ester, or the like and treating the enol ester with a strong acid or the like to form a five-membered ring.

  • Patent number: 6453318
    Abstract: A management apparatus has a structure definition input unit for inputting the structure definition of information, a data definition input unit for inputting a data definition that represents entities of information and the relationship between the entities in accordance with the input structure definition, and a modeling unit for interpreting the input definitions and constraints to convert them into an ER model. Since an ER model can be obtained independently of the formats of input definitions, a user can freely define the structure of information as he or she likes regardless of the complexity of the structure, and need not relate information bidirectionally, and can freely and easily defines the structure of information.
