A transdermal patch for delivering nicotine for prolonged periods of 12-24 hours. The patch includes a rate-controlling membrane or monolith to keep the nicotine flux within useful and safe limits. The patch is typically replaced once a day, and can be used for smoking cessation therapy or in other situations where systemic nicotine delivery is indicated.

A fibrinolytic activity enhancer for signal-chain pro-urokinase comprising plasminogen as an active ingredient is disclosed. The fibrinolytic activity enhancer of the present invention enhances the fibrinolytic activity of single-chain pro-urokinase without causing systemic fibrinolysis. Thus, it is highly useful in the treatment of thrombosis and obstructive diseases.

A new pyranoquinone and use thereof as an anticoccidial agent.
