  • Patent number: 7718635
    Abstract: In a triterpenic acid having hydroxyl groups, at least one of the hydroxyl groups is phosphorylated to produce a phosphorylated triterpenic acid and/or a salt thereof, thereby improving the solubility of the triterpenic acid in a preparation for external application for the skin and allowing the physiological activity of the triterpenic acid to be exerted satisfactorily. The phosphorylated triterpenic acid is preferably, for example, ursolic acid phosphate and/or a salt thereof. The preparation for external application for the skin is preferably a cosmetic, particularly preferably a quasi-drug.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 13, 2006
    Date of Patent: May 18, 2010
    Assignee: Pola Chemical Industries Inc.
    Inventors: Michio Ochiai, Kenichi Goto, Yoshihiro Tokudome, Shigenari Hirokawa

  • Patent number: 7197359
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions for electroporation which are useful in elevating percutaneous absorbability of drugs, etc. By controlling electrolyte concentration of compositions for electroporation so as to make an osmotic pressure of the compositions not more than a physical osmotic pressure, the percutaneous absorbability of drugs can be elevated.

    Filed: April 6, 2000
    Date of Patent: March 27, 2007
    Assignee: Pola Chemical Industries Inc.
    Inventors: Yoshihiro Tokudome, Koji Owaku, Kenichi Goto, Kenji Sugibayashi
  • Patent number: 7089053
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions for electroporation which are useful in elevating a percutaneous absorbability of drugs, etc. By adding polyhydric alcohols to compositions for electroporation, the percutaneous absorbability of drugs is elevated.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 8, 2006
    Assignee: Pola Chemical Industries Inc
    Inventors: Yoshihiro Tokudome, Koji Owaku, Kenichi Goto, Kenji Sugibayashi
  • Patent number: 6878548
    Abstract: The present invention is a composition for percutaneous administration suitable for electroporation. Percutaneous absorption of a drug and so forth in a composition for electroporation can be promoted by adding alkaline earth metal ions to the composition.
    Type: Grant
