Abstract: A process for producing a Donepezil derivative represented by the formula (I), wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 each independently represents H, F, an alkyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or an alkoxy having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R5 represents a phenyl or a substituted phenyl; and n is an integer from 0 to 2, characterized in that the process comprises: (a) a reaction of 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde with a compound of formula (II) in the presence of a strong acid HX to form a compound of formula (III); (b) a catalytic hydrogenation of a compound of formula (III) or a compound of formula (V) to yield a compound of formula (IV); and (c) an alkylation reaction of a compound of formula (IV) to yield a compound of formula (I).

Abstract: A method of treating or curing a disease caused by or associated with elevated levels of TNF in a patient including administering to the patient 5H-thioeno(3,4-c)pyrrole-4,6-dione derivatives.

Abstract: Taught are derivatives of 5H-thioeno(3,4-c)pyrrole-4,6-dione, their organic, and inorganic salts, methods of synthesis of these derivatives, and their application as active pharmaceutical-ingredients useful as inhibitors of TNF?, the derivative being represented by the general formula (I): in which R1 represents H, C1-6alkyl, OR4, OC(O)R5, NO2, NHC(O)R6, or NR7R8; R2 represents H, a halogen, or C1-6alkyl; R3 represents H, methyl, isopropyl, allyl, benzyl, CH2CO2(C1-6alkyl), or CH2(CH2)nR9; R4, R5, R6, R7, and R8 each independently and at each occurrence represents H, or C1-6alkyl; R9 represents H, C1-6alkyl, OH, OC1-6alkyl, NH2, NHC1-6alkyl, N(C1-6alkyl)2, or CO2(C1-6alkyl); and n represents 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Abstract: The present invention relates to tetracyclic anthraquinone antibiotic derivatives with anticancer activity. The tetracyclic anthraquinone antibiotic derivatives as provided in the present invention have the same or higher activity than that of the known drugs such as doxorubicin, daunorubicin and the like in the cellular level while having better tolerance than that of doxorubicin and daunorubicin in the animal body.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pharmaceutically acceptable strong acid salt of 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)piperidine-2,6-dione, a solvate thereof, a process for preparing the same and use in the preparation of a medicament for treating diseases or physiological abnormities by inhibiting inflammatory factors or angiogenesis. The water-solubility of the pharmaceutically acceptable strong acid salts of 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)piperidine-2,6-dione is quite higher than that of 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)piperidine-2,6-dione. The present invention also provides polymorphs of a pharmaceutically acceptable strong acid salt of 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)piperidine-2,6-dione and a solvate thereof.
