Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of diazepine derivatives as defined in the description and in the claims.

Abstract: Co-crystals of Formula I compounds and their pharmaceutical compositions are novel therapeutics for the treatment of diseases, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and cancer. The co-crystal are more stable to oxidation and aqueous degradation, have a better pharmacokinetic profile and superior biological activity than the corresponding tosylate salt form of Formula I compound.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of a pyrazole carboxylic acid derivative of the formula wherein R1 is C1-7-alkyl and R3 is C1-7-alkyl which is optionally substituted with halogen or C1-4-alkoxy. The pyrazole carboxylic acid derivative of the formula I can be used as building block in the preparation of pharmaceutically active principles e.g. for compounds acting as phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors, particularly PDE10 inhibitors. PDE10 inhibitors have the potential to treat psychotic disorders like schizophrenia.

Abstract: The present invention relates in part to a process for the preparation of a proline derivative of formula I wherein, R1 is C1-7-alkyl or wherein R4 is selected from the group consisting of C1-7-alkyl, halogen-C1-7-alkyl and phenyl optionally substituted by halogen; R2 is halogen or halogen-C1-7-alkyl; and R3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, halogen-C1-7-alkyl, C1-7-alkoxy, halogen-C1-7-alkoxy and a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring containing one or two nitrogen atoms, said ring being optionally substituted by C1-7-alkyl or halogen. The proline derivatives of the formula I are preferential inhibitors of the cysteine protease Cathepsin S and are therefore useful to treat metabolic diseases like diabetes, atherosclerosis, abdominal aortic aneurysm, peripheral arterial disease and diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of benzamide derivatives which are useful as intermediates in the preparation of pharmaceutically active compounds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the manufacture of the compounds of formula (I) said compounds of formula (I) being valuable intermediates in the manufacture of Dolastatin 10 analogues, which are useful in the treatment of cancer.
