Abstract: The invention relates to new quinoline, isoquinoline and phthalazine derivatives as antagonists of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone.

Abstract: This invention provides new tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives that act as ligands for G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), especially as antagonists of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). A pharmaceutical composition that contains these new tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives as well as a process for the production of the new tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives are also provided. Moreover, this invention relates to the administration of tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives for treating pathologic conditions that are mediated by GPCR, especially for inhibiting GnRH, in mammals, especially humans, who require such an administration, as well as the use of tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives for the production of a pharmaceutical agent for treating GPCR-mediated pathologic conditions, especially for inhibiting GnRH.

The methods incorporate cells that express a serine/threonine protein kinase, such as RAF. In addition, the invention describes methods of preventing and treating serine/threonine protein kinase-related abnormal conditions in organisms with a compound identified by the invention. Furthermore, the invention pertains to 5-azaquinoxaline compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds.

Abstract: A method of treating female infertility using a novel cetrorelix acetate lyophilizate is disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel acridine derivatives of formula 1, to their preparation and to their use as medicaments, in particular for treating tumors.

Abstract: The side effect of decrease in body weight caused by the alkylphosphocholines such as miltefosine can be antagonized by certain acetylcholine receptor antagonists such as domperidone and pimozide. The combination of alkylphosphocholine plus the antagonist does not have any effect on the anti-tumor action of the alkylphosphocholine. The combination also caused no new side effects in the animals.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel pyridine derivatives of formula 1, to their preparation and to their use as medicaments, in particular for treating tumors

Abstract: The invention relates to peptides which contain N-methylated amino acid units and have improved water solubility. Medicaments in which the peptides according to the invention are contained can be used for the treatment of hormone-dependent tumours and hormone-influenced non-malignant disorders.

Abstract: The present invention is directed in part towards methods of modulating the function of serine/threonine protein kinases with azabenzimidazole-based compounds. The methods incorporate cells that express a serine/threonine protein kinase, such as RAF. In addition, the invention describes methods of preventing and treating serine/threonine protein kinase-related abnormal conditions in organisms with a compound identified by the invention. Furthermore, the invention pertains to azabenzimidazole compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds.

Abstract: Novel phospholipid derivatives of the General Formula I: 1

Abstract: The side effect of decrease in body weight caused by the alkylphosphocholines such as miltefosine can be antagonized by certain acetylcholine receptor antagonists such as domperidone and pimozide.
