Abstract: The present invention relates to a crystalline form a dihydropteridione derivative, namely a crystalline form of the free base N-[trans-4-[4-(cyclopropylmethyl)-1-piperazinyl]cyclohexyl]-4-[[(7R)-7-ethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5-methyl-8-(1-methylethyl)-6-oxo-2-pteridinyl]amino]-3-methoxy-benzamide, to a process for the manufacture thereof, and to the use thereof in a pharmaceutical composition.

Abstract: The invention provides compounds according to formula (I) their use and methods for preparation wherein A, X, Y, R1, R2 and R3 are defined herein. The compounds of the invention inhibit specific serine/threonine kinases involved in inflammatory processes and aberrant cell proliferation, and are thus useful for treating associated diseases and pathological conditions such as Pim kinase-mediated diseases and pathological conditions involving inflammation, including Chron's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic inflammatory disease, or aberrant cell proliferation including various cancers.

Abstract: Antibody molecules, in particular fully human antibodies that bind to human IGF-1 and cross-react with IGF-2 such that binding of IGF-1 and IGF-2 to the IGF-1 receptor is prevented and IGF-1 receptor-mediated signaling is inhibited. The antibodies do not bind to insulin and thus do not affect the mitogenic properties of insulin that are mediated by its binding to the insulin receptors. The antibodies are useful for the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases, in particular cancer.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is novel substituted pyrrolidine amides of the general formula (I) in which D, L. E, G, J, M, L1, L2, R4, and R5 are defined as in the specification, the tautomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, mixtures, and salts thereof, particularly physiologically tolerated salts with inorganic or organic acids or bases having valuable properties.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds defined by formula (I) wherein the group R is defined as in claim 1, possessing valuable pharmacological activity. Particularly the compounds are inhibitors of 11?-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD) 1 and thus are suitable for treatment and prevention of diseases which can be influenced by inhibition of this enzyme, such as metabolic diseases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a specific indolinone derivative and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, namely 3-Z-[1-(4-(N-((4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-methylcarbonyl)-N-methyl-amino)-anilino)-1-phenyl-methylene]-6-methoxycarbonyl-2-indolinone and its monoethanesulfonate, to new manufacturing steps and to new intermediates of this process.
