Abstract: The invention concerns novel cdc25 phosphatase inhibitors, and in particular cdc25-C, which correspond to the general formula (I) wherein: A represents a carbocyclic aryl radical optionally substituted 1 to 3 times by one or more radicals independently selected among a halogen atom and an alkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, alkylthio or NR1R2 radical wherein R1 and R2 represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical or R1 and R2 form together with the nitrogen atom a heterocycle of 4 to 7 members comprising 1 to 2 heteroatoms, the members required to complete the heterocycle being selected independently among the CR3R4—, —O—, —S and NR5-radicals, R3 and R4 representing independently each time they are involved a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, amino, alkylamino or dialkylamino radical, and R5 representing independently each time it is involved a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical, or A represents a phenyl radical substituted by a phenyl radical optionally substituted 1 to 3 times by one or

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for obtaining human cdc 25B1, cdc25B2, cdcB3 and cdc25C phosphatases. More particularly, the invention concerns a protein for fusion between human cdc25B1, cdc25B2, cdcB3 or cdc25C phosphatase and the maltose binding protein (MBP) of Escherichia coli, the DNA sequence coding for said fusion protein, a method for preparing said fusion protein and a method for identifying human cdc25B1, cdc25B2, cdcB3 or cdc25C protein modulators.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of cysteine derivatives for preparing a medicament intended to treat diseases which result from the formation of the heterotrimeric G protein. These diseases include in particular diseases linked to the following biological functions or disorders: smell, taste, perception of the light, neurotransmission, neurodegeneration, endocrine and exocrine gland functions, autocrine and paracrine regulation, arterial tension, embryogenesis, benign cell proliferation, oncogenesis, viral infection, immunological functions, diabetes, obesity, and benign and malign proliferative diseases.

Abstract: The invention concerns DNA polymerase inhibitors, namely mikanolide and dihydromikanolide and dihydromikanotide-enriched extracts. Said compounds or mixtures can be used for preparing medicines designed to treat proliferative diseases, in particular cancer, viral diseases or parasitic diseases provoked by protozoae (for example malaria) or protists (for example, diseases caused by amoebae).
