The present class of cationic lipid-based, estradiol derivatives is likely to find specific use in developing target specifically deliverable anticancer drugs for the treatment of gynecological cancers that are most prevalent in women population irrespective of ethnicity.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2007Publication date: March 5, 2009Inventors: Surendar Reddy Bathula, Rajkumar Banerjee

Publication number: 20090054387Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the reliable and reproducible preparation of 4-[17?-methoxy-17?-methoxymethyl-3-oxoestra-4,9-dien-11?-yl]benzaldehyde (E)-oxime (asoprisnil) on the pilot and manufacturing scale. Asoprisnil, which is prepared by this method, is distinguished by a very good physical stability and is therefore particularly suitable for the manufacture of solid pharmaceutical forms (tablets, coated tablets, etc.).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2007Publication date: February 26, 2009Inventors: Detlef Grawe, Sabine Gliesing, Hagen Gerecke, Peter Heesel, Uwe Mueller, Thomas Michel, Robert Eilers
