The present invention relates to compositions useful in treating hyperpigmentation and the various signs of dermatological aging in human skin. The present invention also relates to cosmetic compositions and methods of using such compositions that improve the aesthetic appearance of skin. Further, the present invention relates to methods of applying the compositions to the skin to effect treatment and to improve the aesthetic appearance of skin, particularly, by providing anti-aging benefits to the skin. These and other objects of the present invention are achieved by a method and composition that comprises (a) a de-pigmenting agent or anti-aging agent in an amount effective to prevent, treat and/or ameliorate pigmentation or the various signs of aging at an area of skin to which it is applied, and (b) a cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle. Suitable de-pigmenting agents include 3,3'-thiodipropionic acid, thiazolidine-2-carboxylic acid, Kaempferol-7-glucoside, perilla oil, and clofibrate and clofibrate analogs and/or derivatives, as well as those set forth below. Suitable anti-aging agents include 3,3'-thiodipropionic acid and/or its derivatives.

The invention discloses a synthesis method of pidotimod. The synthesis method comprises the following steps: reacting L-cysteine with paraformaldehyde or formaldehyde to generate L-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, performing esterification to generate L-thiazolidine-4-carboxylate, or reacting L-cysteine ester hydrochloride with paraformaldehyde or formaldehyde to generate L-thiazolidine-4-carboxylate; and then carrying out condensation reaction on L-thiazolidine-4-carboxylate and L-pyroglutamic acid to generate (4R)-3-[[(2S)-5-oxo-2-pyrrolidinyl]carbonyl]-4-thiazolidine carboxylate, and then synthesizing pidotimod through hydrolysis reaction. Compared with the prior art, the technology in the invention is simple, is easy to operate, has high product yield and low production cost, is environmentally friendly and is suitable for industrial production.

The invention discloses a process for producing pidotimod and belongs to the technical field of medicines. A pidotimod crude product is prepared by a one-pot method which mainly comprises the following steps: (1) in the presence of a condensing agent as a catalyst, carrying out condensation reaction on L-pyroglutamic acid and L-4-thiazolidine formate to produce pidotimod ester and after the reaction is completed, filtering solid to obtain a mother liquid; and (2) adding an appropriate amount of acid into the mother liquid for hydrolyzing pidotimod ester, after the reaction is completed, separating liquid, retaining an aqueous phase, precipitating solids in an ice bath and filtering to obtain pidotimod. The yield is greatly increased, the process is simple, no special device is needed and pidotimod is suitable for large-scale production. According to the preparation process of pidotimod, by preferably selecting the process parameters, the yield and purity are greatly improved. Compared with the prior art, the yield of the pharmaceutical-grade pidotimod pure product is increased by 10-20%.

The present invention relates to certain substituted heterocycles of Formula (200),

wherein B, H, I, J and K together with the Ar₅ form a ring containing at least one amide residue, and W, X, Y and Z together form a 2,4-thiazolidinedione, 2-thioxo-thiazolidine-4-one, 2,4-imidazolidinedione or 2-thioxo-imidazolidine-4-one residue; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compounds are useful in the treatment of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, and related disorders of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, including atherosclerosis. The compounds are also useful for treating diseases of uncontrolled proliferation, such as cancers in general, including breast cancer.

The invention provides an improved preparation method of pidotimod. According to the improved preparation method, a mixed anhydride method is adopted, and the improved preparation method comprises the following steps: under alkaline conditions, enabling L-pyroglutamic acid, ethyl chloroformate and L-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid to react, then acidifying, refining and devitrifying to prepare pidotimod. The method has the advantages of simplicity and convenience in operation, high yield and high product purity, and is more suitable for industrial production.
