Abstract: A method of treating amyloid diseases by administering a compound of Formula I:
wherein:
R7-R13 are independently —H or —OH; and
A is H, —OH, or a moiety of Formula II:
wherein:
R1 is hydrogen, lower alkanoyl of up to 6 carbon atoms or aroyl selected from benzoyl and naphthoyl;
R2 is hydrogen, lower alkyl of up to 6 carbon atoms or arylalkyl selected from benzyl, phenylethyl and phenylpropyl;
R3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl of up to 6 carbon atoms;
R4 is hydrogen or lower alkyl of up to 6 carbon atoms, or when X is oxygen, R4 together with R5 can represent —CH2—O—;
X is a valency bond, —CH2, oxygen or sulfur;
Ar is selected from phenyl, naphthyl, indanyl and tetrahydronaphthyl;
R5 and R6 are individually selected from hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, hydroxyl, lower alkyl of up to 6 carbon atoms, a —CONH2— group, lower alkoxy of up to 6 carbon atoms, benzyloxy, lower alkylthio of up to 6 carbon atoms,
Abstract: The present invention relates to a new method of treatment using compounds which are dual non-selective beta-adrenoceptor and alpha-1-adrenoceptor antagonists, in particularly the carbazolyl-(4)-oxypropanolainine compounds of Formula 1, as defined herein, for inhibiting the expression of Fas, a cell surface protein.
Abstract: A method of treatment using carvedilol is disclosed, wherein the carvedilol decreases the mortality caused by congestive heart failure in patients. The patients are titrated with low amounts of carvedilol, with the initial titration dosage being only 10 to 30% of the daily maintenance dose.
