    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition for the treatment and prevention of allergic inflammatory diseases comprising N-hydroxy-4-{5-[4-(5-isopropyl-2-methyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)phenoxy]pentoxy}-benzamidine, 4-{5-[4-(5-isopropyl-2-methyl-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)phenoxy]pentoxy}-benzamidine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The composition exhibits excellent medicinal effects on allergic inflammatory diseases, with a great reduction in typical chronic inflammation symptoms, such as an increase of eosinophil level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, total leukocyte level and eosinophil level in blood, the hypertrophy or hyperplasia of bronchial epithelium due to an increase in the number of mucus cells, a reduction in alveolar surface area resulting from the hyptertrophy of alveolar walls, and the infiltration of inflammatory cells.

  • Publication number: 20080200531
    Abstract: The invention provides new methods for inhibiting the CDKI pathway and specifically inhibiting tumor cell growth. The invention further provides new and specific inhibitors of tumor cell growth, as well as means for discovery of additional such inhibitors. The present inventors have surprisingly discovered that Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 3 (CDK3) is specifically required for tumor cell growth, in contrast to other members of the CDK family.

  • Publication number: 20080200533
    Abstract: The administration of pharmaceuticals of drugs which are having less solubility, lower bioavailability, lower bioabsorbability, less rate of absorption has become a big challenge in day to day life. Therefore an attempt has been made to prepare a complex modified form of the said pharmaceutical or drug such that the modified complex drugs or pharmaceuticals exhibits the enhanced properties of solubility, bioavailability, bioabsorbability and rate of absorption despite the increased complexity of the molecule. Surprisingly such modification was found to enhance retentivity of the active drug ingredient in the blood. Higher amounts of the active drug ingredient has shown lower toxicity.
