  • Patent number: 7727979
    Abstract: The invention relates to guanidine derivatives of formula (I) where: A represents a chain of 3-6 carbon atoms, one of which can be replaced by —N(R?)— or —O— and R? is H or a substituent; the ring skeleton only contains both double bonds of the thiazole component; the pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salts of basic compounds of formula (I), the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts of compounds of formula (I), comprising acid groups, with bases, the pharmaceutically-acceptable esters of hydroxy or carboxyl group containing compounds of formula (I) and the solvates or hydrates thereof, which exhibit a neuropeptide FF receptor antagonist effect. The above are suitable for the treatment of pain and hyperalgesia, withdrawal symptoms in alcohol, psychotropic and nicotine dependencies, for improvement or cure of said dependencies, for regulation of insulin excretion, food intake, memory functions, blood pressure, electrolyte and energy management and for treatment of urinary incontinence.

  • Patent number: 7214685
    Abstract: The chemotherapy of malignant tumours is greatly restricted by the generally slight differentiation of the available cytostatic agents between normal and malignant tissue. In order to achieve an improvement of the selectivity in cancer therapy, novel prodrugs have been developed from 6-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-indolene, 5-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[3,2-e]indolene and 5-hydroxy-1,2-dihydro-3H-benzo[e]indolene as well as from 6-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-benzo[f]-quinolines, that may be used within the framework of the ADEP therapy (antibody directed enzyme prodrug therapy). The new prodrugs are characterised by a high difference in toxicity between the prodrug and underlying drug and by a very high efficacy of the drug. After splitting off of the glycosidic and/or acetal group on the phenolic hydroxy groups of the prodrugs, a spirocyclopropacyclohexadiene is formed which, being a highly toxic group, effects an alkylation of the DNA or RNA.

The new prodrugs are characterised by a high difference in toxicity between the prodrug and underlying drug and by a very high efficacy of the drug. The high selectivity of the new prodrugs is probably attributed to the fact that, in the new prodrugs, a secondary halide is present in contrast to the prodrugs of a similar type previously produced by us.
