Characterization and Thermodynamic Stability of Polymorphs of Di(arylamino) Aryl Compound ASP3026.

ASP3026 (N-{2-methoxy-4-[4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl]phenyl}-N'-[2-(propane-2-sulfonyl)phenyl]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) was developed in Astellas Pharma Inc. as a novel and selective inhibitor of the fusion protein EML4-ALK. We investigated the thermodynamic stability of five polymorphs of ASP3026 (A01, A02, A03, A04, and A05) in detail.

Association of uric acid with risk factors for chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome in patients with essential hypertension.

Hyperuricemia has recently been recognized to not only be a predictor of cardiovascular disease but also a marker of metabolic syndrome. We examined the association between uric acid levels and various clinical parameters, including the components of metabolic syndrome, in essential hypertension. One hundred forty-six untreated Japanese hypertensive patients (mean 58.
