The invention is associated with ingestible film coated solid dosage forms comprising natural honey in the coating applied to such forms. The natural honey of the film coated solid dosage form is of sufficient level to be perceived by the user while avoiding sticking to each other or the packaging with which they are in contact and, or storage.

Pyrimidone compounds defined herein exhibit human neutrophil elastase inhibitory properties and are useful for treating diseases and condition in which HNE is implicated.

An objective of the present invention is to provide a polypeptide containing an Fc region having maintained or decreased binding activities towards both allotypes of FcγRIIa, types H and R, and having enhanced FcγRIIb-binding activity in comparison with a parent polypeptide; a pharmaceutical composition containing the polypeptide; an agent for treating or preventing immunological inflammatory diseases that includes the pharmaceutical composition; a production method thereof; and a method for maintaining or decreasing binding activities towards both allotypes of FcγRIIa and enhancing the FcγRIIb-binding activity. Specifically, it is found that a polypeptide containing an antibody Fc region that has an alteration of substituting Pro at position 238 (EU numbering) with Asp or Leu at position 328 (EU numbering) with Glu enhances FcγRIIb-binding activity, and maintains or decreases binding activities towards both allotypes of FcγRIIa, types H and R. It is also found that a polypeptide containing an antibody Fc region that contains an alteration of substituting Pro at position 238 (EU numbering) with Asp and several other alterations, enhances FcγRIIb-binding activity, and maintains or decreases binding activities towards both allotypes of FcγRIIa, types H and R.

Provided are biphenyl derivatives having the structure of Formula 1: ##STR00001##
stereoisomers thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl, or C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkoxy; R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are each independently hydrogen, halogen, substituted or unsubstituted amino, nitro, cyano, hydroxy, substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkoxy, or —C(O)R.sub.6; R.sub.5 is hydrogen or C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl; n is 0 or 1; and R.sub.6 is hydrogen or amino, methods for preparing the same, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same. The biphenyl derivatives having the structure of Formula 1 act as muscarinic M3 receptor antagonists, and thus are useful for the prevention or treatment of a disease selected from among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, urinary incontinence, rhinitis, spasmodic colitis, chronic cystitis, Alzheimer's disease, senile dementia, glaucoma, schizophrenia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, cardiac arrhythmia, and hyper-salivation syndromes.
