Assignee:	Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, JP)
Application Number:	10/554,511
Patent Claims:	1. Microcrystals of (E)-8-(3,4-dimethoxystyryl)-1,3-diethyl-7-methyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,- 6-dione represented by the following formula ##STR00002## wherein the average particle size of the microcrystals is less than 50 .mu.m. 2. The microcrystals according to claim 1, wherein the average particle size of the microcrystals is 0.5 to 20 .mu.m. 3. A solid pharmaceutical formulation comprising the microcrystals according to claim 1 or 2, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 4. The microcrystals according to claim 1 or 2, which are obtained by pulverization using a jet mill of crystals of (E)-8-(3,4-dimethoxystyryl)-1,3-diethyl-7-methyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,- 6-dione, said crystals having an average particle size of not less than 50 .mu.m. 5.
