    Abstract: [Problems] To provide a neuronal cell death inhibitor and a therapeutic agent for a neurodegenerative disease, particularly Parkinson's disease. [Means for Solving Problems] It is known that DJ-1 protein is involved in Parkinson's disease and is capable of inhibiting neuronal cell death caused by oxidative stress. Based on this knowledge, screening is made for a low molecular weight molecule capable of binding to an active site of DJ-1 protein (i.e., a region around a cysteine residue at position-106) using an analysis softwear FastDock (Fujitsu Ltd.). When various tests are made using candidate low molecular weight compounds each having a binding energy of ?60 kcal/mol or lower, these compounds show a therapeutic effect on a neurodegenerative disease.

  • Publication number: 20040067967
    Abstract: The invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for treatment or prevention of urinary dysfunction in a mammal. The composition includes a pharmaceutically effective amount of one or more substances capable of enabling the bladder of the mammal to mimic conditions found in advanced pregnancy. Alternately, the pharmaceutical composition has a pharmaceutically effective amount of one or more substances adapted to regulate the expression of one or more ATPases that control the supply of ATP to P2X receptors in the bladder of the mammal. In one aspect, the pharmaceutical composition may downregulate expression of subtype receptors P2X1, P2X2, P2X3 and P2X5, possibly upregulating expression of subtype receptors P2X4 and P2X6.

    Abstract: Novel processes for the preparation of adenosine compounds and intermediates thereto. The adenosine compounds prepared by the present processes may be useful as cardiovascular agents, more particularly as antihypertensive and anti-ischemic agents, as cardioprotective agents which ameliorate ischemic injury or myocardial infarct size consequent to myocardial ischemia, and as an antilipolytic agents which reduce plasma lipid levels, serum triglyceride levels, and plasma cholesterol levels. The present processes may offer improved yields, purity, ease of preparation and/or isolation of intermediates and final product, and more industrially useful reaction conditions and workability.
