Abstract: The present invention relates to novel pharmaceutical compositions comprising thienopyrimidine compounds. Moreover, the present invention relates to the use of the thienopyrimidine compounds of the invention for the production of pharmaceutical compositions for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of diseases which can be influenced by the inhibition of the kinase activity of Mnk1 and/or Mnk2 (Mnk2a or Mnk2b) and/or variants thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel triazole derivatives with improved receptor activity and bioavailability properties as ghrelin analogue ligands of growth hormone secretagogue receptors according to formula (I) that are useful in the treatment or prophylaxis of physiological and/or pathophysiological conditions in mammals, preferably humans, that are mediated by GHS receptors.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of alkylphosphocholines in combination with antimetabolites for the treatment of multiple myeloma, colon cancer or renal cancer. Preferred alkylphosphocholines are described by the Formula II. A particularly effective treatment includes administering a combination of perifosine and capecitabine.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of formula (I) wherein A, Y, Z1, Z2, R1 to R3 and X1 to X4 have the meaning as cited in the description and the claims. For example A is 4?-fluorobiphen-4-yl; Y is —S(O)2NH—; R1, R2 are H; X1, X2, X4 are CH; X3 is C—F; Z1 is ?O; and Z2-R3 is N(CH2CH3)2. Said compounds are useful as 11?-HSD1 inhibitors. The invention also relates to the preparation of such compounds as well as the production and use as medicament.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of Pax4 stimulating compounds, e.g. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) inhibitors, particularly in combination with immunomodulating agents, in the prevention, and/or treatment of pancreatic autoimmune disorders, e.g. type I diabetes or LADA. More particularly, this invention relates to the use of compounds selected from paullones, indirubines, substituted ureas, maleimide derivatives and pyrimidine thiones. Further, the present invention relates to a method of identifying and/or characterizing pancreatic beta-cell mitogens by using cells expressing a pancreatic gene or a gene whose function is controlled by a pancreatic gene, particularly the Pax4 gene, and which are transfected with a reporter gene.
