  • Patent number: 11844823
    Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical aerosols comprising a ?-hairpin peptidomimetic of formula cyclo(-OctG-Glu-Thr-Ala-Ser-Ile-Pro-Pro-Gln-Lys-Tyr-DPro-Pro-), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, having inhibitory activity against human neutrophil elastase. It further relates to solid or liquid pharmaceutical compositions and kits for preparing and administering such aerosols. The invention can be used for the prevention, management or treatment of pulmonary diseases, such as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), cystic fibrosis (CF), non-cystic fibrosis bronchiactasis (NCFB), or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or infections, or diseases, or conditions of the lungs, being mediated by or resulting from human neutrophil elastase activity.

  • Patent number: 10017481
    Abstract: The conformationally restricted, spatially defined macrocyclic ring system of formula (I) is constituted by three distinct molecular parts: Template A, conformation Modulator B and Bridge C. Macrocycles described by this ring system I are readily manufactured by parallel synthesis or combinatorial chemistry in solution or on solid phase. They are designed to interact with a variety of specific biological target classes, examples being agonistic or antagonistic activity on G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), inhibitory activity on enzymes or antimicrobial activity. In particular, these macrocycles show inhibitory activity on endothelin converting enzyme of subtype 1 (ECE-1) and/or the cysteine protease cathepsin S (CatS), and/or act as antagonists of the oxytocin (OT) receptor, thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) receptor and/or leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor, and/or as agonists of the bombesin 3 (BB3) receptor, and/or show antimicrobial activity against at least one bacterial strain.
