Abstract: Monoacyl-substituted guanidines of formula III, or a salt or acid thereof, and their use as medicine or diagnostic aid: in which X(2) is

Abstract: Diacyl-substituted guanidines of the formula I are described where X(1) and X(2) are as defined herein. The compounds are suitable for use as antiarrhythmic pharmaceuticals possessing a cardioprotective component for the prophylaxis and treatment of infarction and for the treatment of angina pectoris, in connection with which they also inhibit or strongly reduce, in a preventitive manner the pathophysiological processes associated with the genesis of ischemically induced damage, in particular associated with the elicitation of ischemically induced cardiac arrhythmias.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for inactivating Carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) in a hirudin-containing culture broth produced by fermenting a transformed yeast. It has been found that inactive precursors of CPY are activated at a temperature 70.degree. C. and that the active peptidases will further degrade hirudin when the two proteins are present together in a composition. The present invention overcomes the CPY activation problem by heating a broth containing hirudin and CPY to a temperature of about 80.degree.-100.degree. C. in about one minute or less.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel synthetic isohirudins which have improved stability owing to exchange in the region of the Asp-Gly motif. This results, on the one hand, in an increase in the yield during workup and, on the other hand, in making possible pharmaceutical formulation as directly injectable solution ready for use.
