Abstract: This invention refers to the synthesis and purification of 2 hydroxide derivatives of fatty acids, as well as to the separation method of its enantiomers (or optic isomers) [?] y [+], to the enantiomers themselves, to pharmaceutical compositions which include them, and to their use as medicines, as well as to an in vitro method of diagnosis/prognosis and evaluation of the potential use of the molecules of the invention in different pathologies, as well as their use for the regulation of certain enzymes and the study of their activity and effects.

Abstract: This invention relates to a composition that comprises inositol phosphates and/or bisphosphonates, and to the use thereof to prevent the loss of substances of biological interest in the body of patients subjected to dialysis and to maintain sufficient physiological levels of said substances to regulate physiological and/or pathological processes, these substances being inhibitors of pathological crystallization.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fixed-dose association of phytate and zinc in synergic proportions for use in the treatment of crystallization of hydroxyapatite. Advantageously, said association is in a molar ratio between the phytate and the zinc exceeding 4:1. The invention also relates to the use of said association for manufacturing a drug for the treatment, prophylaxis and/or prevention crystallization of hydroxyapatite in humans.
