The dye includes a structure represented by general formula (I) The present invention relates to a photoelectric conversion device and a photoelectric conversion device dye, and a compound.Conventionally, dyes have been widely used in various technical fields. As one example, in the field of photoelectric conversion devices, for example, a dye having photosensitization action is used in the working electrode of a dye-sensitized solar cell.A dye-sensitized solar cell generally has an electrode having an oxide semiconductor as a support for a dye. Such a dye absorbs incident light and is excited, and this excited dye injects electrons into the support to perform photoelectric conversion. In this type of dye-sensitized solar cell, high energy conversion efficiency can be theoretically expected among organic solar cells. In addition, this type of dye-sensitized solar cell can be produced at lower cost than conventional solar cells using a silicon semiconductor, and therefore is considered to be very advantageous in terms of cost.On the other hand, as dyes used in photoelectric conversion devices, organic dyes, such as ruthenium complex dyes and cyanine dyes, are widely known. Particularly, cyanine dyes have relatively high stability, and can be easily synthesized, and therefore, various studies have been made.For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a cyanine dye that has a structure in which an indolenine skeleton is bonded to both ends of a methine chain skeleton, and further has a carboxylic acid group as an anchor group to be adsorbed on an oxide semiconductor electrode.In addition, Patent Document 2 discloses a composite dye in which a plurality of component dyes having different excitation levels from each other are chemically bonded to each other, thereby forming a linear or branched ...

Disclosed are compounds effective for inhibiting cellular apoptosis and for protecting cells and tissues from the apoptotic effects of chemotherapeutic agents and/or ionizing radiation. Compounds of the invention act as agonists of the LPAreceptor. Compounds of the invention comprise non-lipid benzoic acid derivatives. This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/693,731, filed Aug. 27, 2012, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.The invention relates to compositions comprising new benzoic acid derivatives. More specifically, the invention relates to compounds comprising new sulfamoyl benzoic acid derivatives, these compounds acting as LPAreceptor agonists.The growth factor-like lysophospholipids lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) regulate many fundamental cellular responses, including cell survival, cell proliferation, cellular motility and migration. LPA has been shown to have profound activity in preventing apoptosis and rescuing cells from the progression of the apoptotic cascade. An LPA mimic, octadecenyl thiophosphate (OTP) (Durgam et al., Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of second-generation phosphatidic acid derivatives as lysophosphatidic acid receptor ligands. (2006) 16(3): 633-640), has demonstrated superior efficacy in vitro and in vivo, as compared to LPA, in rescuing cells and animals from radiation-induced apoptosis (Deng et al., The lysophosphatidic acid type 2 receptor is required for protection against radiation-induced intestinal injury. (2007) 132(5): 1834-1851).The G protein-coupled lysophosphatidic acid 2 (LPA) receptor elicits prosurvival responses to prevent and rescue cells from apoptosis. LPAstimulation provides protection from chemotherapeutic agent-induced apoptosis and radiation-induced apoptosis. Highly effective LPA-specific agonists may therefore have significant therapeutic value.Development of LPA-based drug candidates has thus ...
