Abstract: The invention relates to a compound selected from the group consisting of desethylamiodarone and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates and solvates thereof, as well as pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound together with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, vehicle or carrier, for use in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: O-(3-piperidino-2-hydroxypropyl)-nicotinic amidoxime or a pharmaceutically suitable acid addition salt thereof (BGP-15) can be used for the prevention or reduction of weight gain or obesity in a patient treated with an antipsychotic drug or an antidepressant drug or an antiepileptic drug.

Abstract: The subject of the present invention are quinazoline derivatives and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts of general formula (I), that inhibit a DNA-repairing enzyme, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), enabling them to be used for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for preventing or treating illnesses where PARP-inhibition yields a beneficial effect. In general formula (I) R1 stands for either hydrogen or a group of general formula (a); R2 stands for a) hydrogen or C1-6 alkyl group, if R1 is other than hydrogen, and b) if R1 is hydrogen, then R2 may be a group of general formula (b), (c) or (d). The subject of the present invention also embraces the preparation processes of the compounds described above.

Abstract: The primary subject of the invention is the use of a PARP inhibitor and an Akt kinase activating compound in combination in the treatment of pathological conditions related to PARP activation and/or that could benefit from Akt activation. A further subject of the invention is the use of a PARP inhibitor and an Akt kinase activating compound in combination for the preparation of pharmaceutical composition or kit for the treatment of a pathological condition related to PARP activation. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical composition, which contains a PARP-inhibitor and an Akt kinase activating compound together with auxiliaries generally used in pharmacy.

Abstract: O-(3-piperidino-2-hydroxypropyl)-nicotinic amidoxime or a pharmaceutically suitable acid addition salt thereof (BGP-15) can be used for the prevention or reduction of weight gain or obesity in a patient treated with an antipsychotic drug or an antidepressant drug or an antiepileptic drug.

Abstract: O-(3-piperidino-2-hydroxypropyl)-nicotinic amidoxime (BGP-15) or a pharmaceutically suitable acid addition salt thereof can be used for the prevention or reduction of weight gain or the reduction of the rate of body weight gain.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions that exhibit reduced gastrointestinal side-effects comprising a known active substance having antitumor effects selected from the group consisting of pyrimidine derivatives, or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, and O-(3-piperidino-2-hydroxy-1-propyl)nicotinic acid amidoxime, or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention refers to pharmaceutical compositions suitable for the protection of the mitochondrial genome and/or mitochondrium from damages for the treatment of diseases connected with such damages, said compositions comprising a hydroximic acid derivative of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt therefor.

Abstract: The object of the invention consists of novel unsaturated hydroximic acid derivatives, the process for their preparation and as active substance such as compounds containing pharmaceutical compositions. The novel compounds possess valuable pharmaceutical effects, so they can be used in the treatment of states connected with energy deficiency of the cell caused by PARP inhibition, in diabetes complications, in oxygen deficient status of the heart and brain, in neurodegenerative diseases, in the treatment of autoimmune and/or viral diseases. In formula (I).

Abstract: The invention refers to pharmaceutical compositions having an enhanced antiviral activity and/or decreased side effects. The composition comprises a hydroximic acid derivative of formula (I), or a therapeutically useful acid addition salt thereof and a known antiviral agent or, if desired, a therapeutically useful acid addition or therapeutically useful salt thereof.
