Abstract: The present application relates to antisense oligonucleotides which inhibit expression of the OB-RGRP protein and to uses thereof for preventing and/or treating leptin-related pathological conditions. It also relates to a method for detecting compounds which modify the interaction between proteins of the OB-RGRP family and the leptin receptor. This detection may be carried out by measuring the energy transfer between fusion proteins composed of these proteins and of energy-donor and -acceptor proteins.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I), wherein R1 and R3 have the meanings given in the description, said compounds being in all isomeric forms; and salts thereof; processes for the preparation of the compounds and intermediates; compositions containing them, and the use thereof as medicaments, particularly as anti-cancer agents.
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel yeast strains, methods and genetic constructs for their preparation, and their use for the synthesis or modification of steroidal compounds. More particularly, the invention describes strains having a reduced 20?HSD type activity, in particular by modifying the GCY1 and/or YPR1 genes. The yeast strains of the invention make it possible to improve the efficiency of the synthesis or to increase the selectivity or the yields of the method, as well as the quality of the final product. The strains, methods and compounds of the invention are useful in the search for, the development and the production of products with therapeutic or prophylactic activity, in humans or animals, in particular of steroidal derivatives.
