Abstract: The invention relates to pharmaceutical preparations suitable for oral application of liposomally encapsulated Taxol, its derivatives and Taxan. Preferably, they additionally contain at least one immuno-modulator, preferably Cyclosporine, and/or at least one cytokine, preferably PEG cytokines.

Abstract: A selectin-binding active agents in the form of gestation proteins or fragments thereof, of liposomes which include Ca-binding compounds, of mucin fragments obtained or derived from native sources, or of mimicry compounds which imitate sialylated Lewis type carbohydrate structures (sLe), or combinations thereof, in the treatment and prophylaxis of diseases, in the course of which inflammatory processes are involved, such as autoimmune diseases, transplantations and arteriosclerosis. Inflammatory diseases in the meaning of the invention can be those of infectious or non-infectious nature. The active agents provide partial or complete prevention of tumor metastasizing, wherein administration of the active agents can be prophylactic, or can be effected in association with e.g. operative removal of a primary tumor or during a biopsy. The above active agents are used in the prophylaxis of tumor diseases.

Abstract: A composition containing an antineoplastic alkylphospholipid, and an antineoplastic antiestrogen in a lipid vesicle; more particularly, the composition is a liposome composition which comprises (i) an antineoplastic alkylphospholipid,(ii) an antineoplastic water- or lipid-soluble antiestrogen associated in liposomal form with the antineoplastic alkylphospholipid, (iii) a nonneoplastic phospholipid, and optionally one or more of (iv) a sterol, (v) a positively or negatively charged lipid, and (vi) a PEG lipid.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for detecting a hormone or antihormone resistance in cancers. The invention is intended for use in medicine, biology and the pharmaceutical industry. The aim of the invention is to consistently improve the use of antihormones in the treatment of cancer so that unnecessary treatment can be avoided as much as possible. The aim is to develop a method which can be used to identify the type of cancer before corresponding antihormone treatment is given. This aim is achieved by measuring the immune reactivity of the hormone receptors of cancers.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to produce liposome-encapsulated taxol with a high taxol concentration and high stability and hence a high therapeutic effect. The invention involves the development of specific forms of taxol encapsulation and the use of these, optionally in combination with other substances, in the treatment of various types of tumor. The liposome-encapsulated taxol is characterized in that it is prepared by high-pressure homogenization or by aerosol formulation.

Abstract: A process for stimulating hematopoietic activity in animals which comprises administering to a patient in need therefor a therapeutically effective amount of an agent containing as its active ingredient a water-soluble or lipid-soluble transition metal compound in a lyotropic mesophase, the agent optionally containing one or more additional carriers for stimulating hematopoietic activity.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel glycero-3(2)phospho-L-serine derivatives of the general formula ##STR1## in which A represents unsubstituted or substituted (C5-C30) alkoxy, or unsubstituted or substituted (C5-C30) alkenoxy, whereby a double bond of the alkenoxy residue does not originate at the C atom bound to oxygen, or halogen, or a group of the general formula--O--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --CF.sub.3 II,wherein n is 0 or an integer 1, 2 or 3, one of the two residues B and C, which is identical to or different from A, has one of the definitions given for A or represents hydrogen, and the respective other residue represents the phosphatidyl-Lserine group of the formula ##STR2## with the proviso that at least one residue A, B or C represents (C5-C30) alkoxy or (C5-C30) alkenoxy; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of general formula I with bases, a process for the preparation thereof, pharmaceutical preparations containing the said compounds, and their use in drugs with cytostatic activity.
