Abstract: The present invention relates to cytostatics which have a tumor-specific action as a result of linkage to ?v?3 integrin antagonists via preferred linking units which can be selectively cleaved by elastase, i.e. by an enzyme which can especially be found in tumor tissue. The preferred linking units provide sufficient stability of the conjugate of cytostatic and ?v?3 integrin antagonist in biological fluids and, at the same time, the desired intracellular action within tumor cells as a result of its specific enzymatic or hydrolytic cleavability with release of the cytostatic.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cytostatics which have a tumour-specific action as a result of linkage to ?v?3 integrin antagonists via preferred linking units. The preferred linking units guarantee serum stability of the conjugate of cytostatic and ?v?3 integrin antagonist and at the same time the desired intracellular action in tumour cells as a result of their enzymatic or hydrolytic cleavability with release of the cytostatic.

Abstract: The invention relates to cyclopentabenzofuran derivatives, process for their preparation, the use of cyclopentabenzofuran derivatives for the production of a medicament for the therapy of NF-?B-dependent diseases and medicaments which contain the cyclopentabenzofuran derivatives.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel substituted &agr;,&bgr;-fused butyrolactones, to processes for their preparation and to their use for the prevention and/or treatment of disorders caused by hyper- or hypofunction of the glutamatergic system, in particular of cerebral ischaemias, craniocerebral trauma, states of pain or CNS-mediated spasms.

Abstract: This invention relates to compounds containing a trioxane moiety, especially certain artemisinin derivatives, which have cytotoxic and antitumour activity and their use in the treatment of cancer. Some of these compounds comprise a ligand which is capable of binding to a nucleic acid and a group containing a trioxane moiety which is capable of acting as source of free radicals which are capable of chemically interacting with a nucleic acid. Processes for the preparation of such compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds are also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of cycloventabenzofuran derivatives for the production of a medicament for the treatment of nuclear factor of &kgr;B-dependent diseases.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of the substance known under the name of galiella lactone as pharmaceutical, in particular for the treatment of inflammatory processes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to glycoconjugates of 20(S)-camptothecin, in which a 3-O-methylated &bgr;-L-fucose unit is linked to the 20-hydroxyl group of a camptothecin derivative via a thiourea-modified peptide spacer. The invention furthermore relates to processes for the preparation of the compounds according to the invention and to their use as medicaments, in particular in connection with oncoses.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cytostatics which have a tumor-specific action as a result of linkage to specific carbohydrate moeities via preferred linking units which can be selevtively cleaved by enzymes such as metallo matrixproteases (MMPs), elastase or cathepsines, i.e. by enzymes which can especially be found in tumor tissue. The preferred linking units guarantee sufficient serum stability of the conjugate of cytostatic and carbohydrate moeity and, at the same time, the desired intracellular action within tumor cells as a result of its specific enzymatic or hydrolytic cleavability with release of the cytostatic.

Abstract: The invention relates to cyclopentabenzofuran derivatives, processes for their preparation, the use of cyclopentabenzofuran derivatives for the production of a medicament for the therapy of NF-&kgr;B-dependent diseases and medicaments which contain the cyclopentabenzofuran derivatives.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel substituted bicyclic lactones, to processes for their preparation and to their use for the prevention and/or treatment of disorders caused by hyper- or hypofunction of the glutamatergic system, in particular of cerebral ischaemias, cranial cerebral trauma, states of pain or CNS-mediated spasms.

Abstract: The invention relates to cytostatics which, by modification with sugar, are tumor-specific. Suitable spacers ensure serum stability and at the same time an intracellular action.
