  • Publication number: 20110152373
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new pharmaceutical application of a 15,15-difluoroprostaglandin F2? derivative. As a result of intensive studies in order to find a new pharmaceutical application of a 15,15-difluoroprostaglandin F2? derivative, it was found that, in a European Phase III clinical trial for tafluprost, one of the 15,15-difluoroprostaglandin F2? derivatives, with patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, tafluprost has actions of growing eyelashes, making eyelashes thicker, and changing the color thereof, that is, has an effect of promoting the growth of hair (eyelashes). Therefore, a 15,15-difluoroprostaglandin F2? derivative is useful as a hair growth promoting agent, and is expected to be useful as an active ingredient of a preventive or therapeutic agent for a disease associated with hair such as alopecia and a hair care product or a hair cosmetic product for regrowing hair, growing hair, increasing hair density, nourishing hair, or the like.

  • Publication number: 20110021762
    Abstract: A process is provided for the synthesis of 4,5-diamino cyclohexene carboxylate ester (1): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. R1-R3 are a silyl-, an aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic, arylaliphatic, or an arylalicyclic group. R4, R11 and R12 are H, a silyl-group, an aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic, arylaliphatic, or an arylalicyclic group. 3,4-Dihydropyran compound (9): with R5 and R6 being suitable protecting groups, is reacted to form aldehyde (4): which is oxidized and converted to N-substituted carbamate (3): with R7 being a suitable protecting group. (3) is, via oxazolinidone (13): converted to azido carboxylate ester (2): and then to 4,5-diamino cyclohexene carboxylate ester (1).
