The invention provides glucocorticoid receptor antagonists for treatment of infection, neoplasia, and fatty liver disease.

The present invention relates to an amino acid-based compound for detecting carbon dioxide, and to a carbon dioxide chemical sensor and a carbon dioxide detection method using the compound, wherein the compound having selectivity with respect to carbon dioxide exhibits a high selectivity to carbon dioxide and thus may detect carbon dioxide of a very low concentration, exhibits excellent light-absorbing or fluorescent characteristics, and, in particular, may achieve an effect of detecting carbon dioxide in real time.

Provided are a novel water-soluble diacetylene monomer, a composition for photolithography including the novel water-soluble diacetylene monomer and a conductive polymer, and a method of forming micropatterns using the composition. The water-soluble diacetylene monomer may not aggregate even when mixed with a water-soluble conductive polymer. Accordingly, a uniform composition for photolithography can be prepared by mixing a water-soluble conductive polymer with the diacetylene monomer, and micropatterns can be formed using the composition. More particularly, when the composition is formed into a thin film and then is irradiated with light, only light-irradiated portions of the diacetylene monomer are selectively crosslinked due to photopolymerization, thereby resulting in insoluble negative-type micropatterns.
