  • Publication number: 20180118742
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides an organic compound represented by: and an organic light emitting diode and an organic light emitting display device using the organic compound. The organic compound of the present invention includes a phenanthroline core, which has a nitrogen atom of a relatively electron rich sp2 hybrid orbital, and a phosphine oxide moiety, which has an excellent electron transporting property and an excellent thermal stability. The electron transporting property of the organic compound of the present invention is improved based on the chemical structure of the organic compound. Accordingly, when the organic compound is used for the organic light emitting diode and the organic light emitting display device, the driving voltage is reduced, and the lifetime and the emitting efficiency are improved.

  • Publication number: 20180118783
    Abstract: A peptide and a peptide complex of the present invention exhibit an anti-obesity effect by inhibiting fat accumulation and decomposing already accumulated fat, and exhibit an excellent effect with respect to diabetes by effectively reducing blood sugar. The peptide and the peptide complex of the present invention decrease the expression of PPAR?, ACC, and aP2, which are adipogenic markers, increase the expression of pHSL, AMPK-?1, CGI-58, and ATGL, which are lipolytic factors, and reduce the size of fat cells and blood cholesterol values. The peptide and the peptide complex of the present invention, which have excellent activity and safety, can be advantageously applied to drugs and quasi-drugs.
