  • Publication number: 20110009376
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel pharmaceutical use of 2-phenyl-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one or a salt thereof. 2-Phenyl-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one or a salt thereof exhibits an excellent suppressive effect on retinal ganglion cell death in a pharmacological test using rats, and is therefore useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for an eye disease accompanied by optic nerve disorder.

  • Publication number: 20100272829
    Abstract: It is required to devise a way to reduce the amount of zinc pyrithione added to hair care products as an anti-dandruff agent so as to decrease stimulation to the ocular mucosa, and to reduce an influence on the environment of domestic wastewater, and a way to accelerate the decomposition of zinc pyrithione in sewage treatment facilities, rivers, lakes and ponds. Furthermore, zinc pyrithione used as an antifouling agent for ship-bottom paints is eluted from a coating film at a high rate and thus results in poor long-term antifouling effect, so that it is also required to devise a way to decrease the solubility thereof in seawater. These problems could be solved at once by an antibiotic composition obtained by adsorbing zinc pyrithione or a zinc pyrithione/zinc oxide composite compound to hydrous titanium oxide.
