  • Patent number: 7393834
    Abstract: A method of treating infertility disorders by 1) administering an LH-RH antagonist, preferably Cetrorelix, in amounts to selectively suppress endogenous LH but not FSH secretion and 2) inducing follicle growth by administration of exogenous gonadotropin. The selective suppression OF LH allows FSH secretion to be at natural levelS thereby not affecting individual estrogen development. The LH-RH antagonist can be given as a single or dual subcutaneous dose in the range of 1 mg to 10 mg, preferably 2 mg-6 mg. In multiple dosing-posology, LH-RH antagonist can be administered subcutaneously in an amount in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 mg of LH-RH antagonist/day. LH-RH antagonist is applied starting cycle day 1 to 10, preferably on day 4 to 8, and ovulation can be induced between day 9 and 20 of the menstruation cycle by administering rec. LH, native LH-RH, LH-RH agonist or by HCG. In addition rec.

  • Patent number: 7375127
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives which have improved properties and which can be employed as inhibitors of GPCRs. This results in the possibility of using the novel compounds to treat pathological conditions whose severity depends on the pathobiochemical effect of GPCRs. The compounds of the invention act in particular via an antagonistic inhibition of the LHRH receptor. The invention further provides medicaments which comprise one or more of the novel compounds as active ingredient. The medicaments are suitable in particular to be employed in an oral dosage form for a mammal, in particular a human.
