Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of Compound I of the following formula in the treatment of iron overload resulting from hereditary hemochromatosis in patient in need of such a treatment and to a commercial package comprising Compound I together with instructions for the treatment of iron overload in hereditary hemochromatosis patients.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a combination comprising a a substituted 3,5-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazole, e.g. 4-[3,5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-[1,2,4]triazol-1-yl]benzoic acid and at least one anti-neoplastic agent and to the use of said combination for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of proliferative diseases.

Abstract: The invention relates to combination comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable preparation of a compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a gallium and its use in diagnosis. The invention also pertains to the use of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of an excess iron overload in the human or animal body whereby said body is undergoing gallium scintigraphy and whereby the treatment removing said excess of iron is interrupted for a period of 2 to 10 days prior to the gallium scintigraphy and resumed after the gallium scintigraphy readings.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of 4-[3,5-Bis-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-[1,2,4]-triazol-1-yl]benzoic acid (hereinafter referred to as “Compound I”) for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of liver diseases in humans in which iron plays a role in pathogenesis, including viral diseases, such as chronic hepatitis C, optionally in conjunction with antiviral agents and for the treatment of non viral diseases, such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of an iron chelator for the treatment or prevention of pathologies due to iron loading, e.g. related to a dysfunction, in particular a reduction or inhibition, of the secretory function of cells from endocrine glands, in the human or animal body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a combination comprising a a substituted 3,5-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazole, e.g. 4-[3,5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-[1,2,4]triazol-1-yl]benzoic acid and at least one anti-neoplastic agent and to the use of said combination for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of proliferative diseases.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for improving the bioavailability, preferably, oral bioavailability and/or drug disposition, e.g. brain penetration, of an iron chelator, which method comprises co-administering to a mammal, especially a human, in need of such treatment, a combination of an iron chelator and an efflux protein inhibitor.
