Abstract: Use of the N-phenyl-2-pyrimidine-amine derivatives of formula I, in which the symbols and substituents have the meaning as given herein in free form or in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of anergic rhinitis, allergic dermatitis, drug allergy or food allergy, angioedema, urticaria, sudden infant death syndrome, bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, multiple sclerosis or mastocytosis;

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of treating cancer which comprises administration of a compound which selectively inhibits the activity of one or two of the isoforms of Akt, a serine/threonine protein kinase. The invention is particularly directed to the method wherein the compound is dependent on the presence of the pleckstrin homology domain of Akt for its inhibitory activity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating cancer using a combination of a compound which is a PSA conjugate and a compound which is a inhibitor of prenyl-protein transferase, which methods comprise administering to said mammal, either sequentially in any order or simultaneously, amounts of at least two therapeutic agents selected from a group consisting of a compound which is a PSA conjugate and a compound which is a inhibitor of prenyl-protein transferase. The invention also relates to methods of preparing such compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating cancer using a combination of a compound which is a PSA conjugate and a tachykinin receptor antagonist, which methods comprise administering to said mammal, either sequentially in any order or simultaneously, amounts of at least two therapeutic agents selected from a group consisting of a compound which is a PSA conjugate and a tachykinin receptor antagonist. The invention also relates to methods of preparing such compositions.

Abstract: Chemical conjugates which comprise an oligopeptide covalently bonded, either directly or through a chemical linker, to a peptide or small molecule that binds to an anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein, inhibits the expression of the Bcl-2 family protein, or inhibits the function of the Bcl-2 family protein. Such a peptide or small molecule that binds to an anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein, inhibits the expression of the Bcl-2 family protein, or inhibits the function of the Bcl-2 family protein may be conveniently referred to as a therapeutic agent. The oligopeptides are chosen from oligomers that are selectively recognized by the free prostate specific antigen (PSA) and are capable of being proteolytically cleaved by the enzymatic activity of the free prostate specific antigen.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating cancer using a combination of a PSA conjugate and radiation therapy. The methods of this invention comprise administering to a mammal in need amounts of at least one PSA conjugate, in combination with radiation therapy, either sequentially or concomitantly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating cancer using a combination of a compound which is a PSA conjugate and a compound which is a inhibitor of angiogenesis, which methods comprise administering to said mammal, either sequentially in any order or simultaneously, amounts of at least two therapeutic agents selected from a group consisting of a compound which is a PSA conjugate and a compound which is a inhibitor of angiogenesis. The invention also relates to methods of preparing such compositions.

Abstract: Novel pharmaceutical compositions useful for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia which comprises novel oligopeptides, which are selectively cleaved by enzymatically active PSA, in conjugation with a cytotoxic agent are described. Methods of treating benign prostate hypertrophy are also disclosed.

Abstract: Oligopeptides which comprise amino acid sequences that are recognized and proteolytically cleaved by free prostate specific antigen (PSA) are described. Also described are assays which comprise such oligopeptides useful for determining free PSA protease activity in vitro and in vivo. Therapeutic agents which comprise conjugates of such oligopeptides and known cytotoxic agents are also described.
