  • Patent number: 7230014
    Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical formulations suitable for intravenous injection comprising a lyophilized anti-ulcerative agent reconstituted in isotonic solutions suitable for intravenous administration, such as 5% dextrose or 0.9% sodium chloride. The solutions are brought to a pH of between about 9 and about 12, preferably between about pH 10 and 11, by a glycine-sodium hydroxide buffer. Such formulations are chemically and physically stable, and do not significantly change color, for at least between about 6 and about 12 hours at room temperature, and are stable to color change for from between about 24 and 48 hours if kept at 5° C.

  • Patent number: RE46129
    Abstract: Caspase activity and apoptosis are promoted using active, dimeric Smac peptide mimetics of the general formula M1-L-M2, wherein moieties M1 and M2 are monomeric Smac mimetics and L is a covalent linker. Target cancerous or inflammatory cells are contacted with an effective amount of an active, dimeric Smac mimetic, and a resultant increase in apoptosis of the target cells is detected. The contacting step may be effected by administering to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of The compoundic mimetic, wherein the individual may be subject to concurrent or antecedent radiation or chemotherapy for treatment of a neoproliferative pathology.

  • Patent number: RE46424
    Abstract: The present invention describes a method for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure 3-amidinophenylalanine derivatives, which are used as pharmaceutically effective urokinase inhibitors, by starting from 3-cyanophenylalanine derivatives. The methods of manufacture comprising only one synthesis step lead to new intermediates, namely 3-hydroxyamidino- and 3-amidrazonophenylalanine derivatives. These intermediates or their acetyl derivatives can be reduced into the desired 3-amidino-phenylalanine derivatives under gentle conditions (H2 or ammonium formiate formate, Pd/C (approx. 10%), ethanol/water, room temperature, normal pressure or also H2, Pd/C, AcOH or HCl/ethanol, 1-3 bar) in excellent yields and in an enantiomeric excess of up to 99.9%.
