Abstract: An injection device for setting and injecting a dose of a medicament is provided. The injection device includes: an elongated housing extending along a longitudinal axis (z) and comprising a sidewall, a dose tracker having a portion arranged inside the housing, the dose tracker comprising at least one tracking stop feature, wherein a positional state of the dose tracker relative to the housing is indicative of a size of the dose, and a preselector comprising a preselector stop feature. Wherein the tracking stop feature and the preselector stop feature are configured to mutually engage and to block a displacement of the dose tracker beyond a predefined maximum dose positional or rotational state. The preselector is at least one of translationally or rotationally displaceable relative to the housing along a displacement path between at least two preselection positional states.

Abstract: Semisynthetic diastereomerically pure N-glycidylanthracyclines, a process for the stereoselective preparation thereof and the use thereof as cytostatics. The invention relates to anthracyclines having cytostatic activity and the formula I, which are, where appropriate, in the form of a salt with an inorganic or organic acid, ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen or a hydroxyl group,R.sup.2 is hydrogen, a hydroxyl group or an alkyloxy group (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4),R.sup.3 is hydrogen, a hydroxyl group or a structure of the formula II ##STR2## R.sup.4 is CH.sub.2 CH.sub.3, COCH.sub.3, COCH.sub.2 OH, CHOHCH.sub.3 or CHOHCH.sub.2 OH,R.sup.5 is hydrogen, a hydroxyl group, a methoxycarbonyl group or a structure of the formula II,R.sup.6 is hydrogen, an alkyl group (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4), an allyl group, a benzyl group or mono- or di-methyloxy-substituted benzyl group, a tetrahydropyranyl group,R.sup.7 is hydrogen, an alkyl group (C.sub.1 -C.sub.

Abstract: The invention relates to new anthracycline derivatives having cytostatic activity and the general formula I, ##STR1## which can optionally also be in the form of an acid addition salt of physiologically acceptable inorganic or organic acids, where R.sup.1 is hydrogen or a hydroxyl group, R.sup.2 is hydrogen, a hydroxyl or a methoxy group, R.sup.3 is hydrogen or a hydroxyl group, R.sup.4 is hydrogen or a hydroxyl group, R.sup.5 hydrogen, a hydroxyl or a methoxycarbonyl group, R.sup.6 is CH.sub.2 CH.sub.3, COCH.sub.3, COCH.sub.2 OH, CHOHCH.sub.3 or CHOHCH.sub.2 OH and R.sup.
