  • Publication number: 20110105460
    Abstract: [Problem] A compound, which can be used for preventing or treating diseases, in which 11?-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11?-HSD1) is concerned, in particular, diabetes, insulin resistance, dementia, schizophrenia and depression, is provided. [Means for Solution] It was found that a triazole derivative, in which one of the 3- and 5-positions of the triazole ring has (di)alkylmethyl or cycloalkyl, each of which is substituted with —O— (aryl or a heterocyclic group, each of which may be substituted, or lower alkylene-cycloalkyl), and the other thereof has aryl, a heterocyclic group or cycloalkyl, each of which may be substituted, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof exhibits potent 11?-HSD1 inhibitory action. From the above, the triazole derivative of the present invention can be used for preventing or treating diabetes, insulin resistance, dementia, schizophrenia and depression.

  • Publication number: 20110092524
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pharmacological action of a compound which functions as a PPAR? agonist on the barrier function of the corneal epithelium. A PPAR? agonist such as rivoglitazone, DRF-2593, GW-544 or BMS-298585 exhibits an excellent effect of enhancing the corneal epithelial barrier function in a test for enhancement of corneal epithelial barrier function, and therefore is useful as a preventive agent or a therapeutic agent for ocular infection or ocular unidentified complaint caused by a decrease in the corneal epithelial barrier function. Further, the PPAR? agonist can enhance the corneal epithelial barrier function of diabetic patients, patients with decreased corneal epithelial barrier function due to aging and patients who underwent refractive surgery such as PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) or LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis) or cataract surgery.
