Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) wherein Ra and Rb the same or different, are hydrogen atoms, acyl groups deriving from a lower carboxylic acid or chains of formula (a) useful as reverse transcriptase inhibitors antiviral activity are described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to synthetic peptides containing as least nine amino acids of formula (I): ##STR1## in which X and Y are protected or unprotected amino acid residues, or peptidesR is a linear or branched alkyl radicalR" is one of the following radicals: alkyl, phenyl, halogen, nitro, amino, alkyl amino, alkoxy, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, carboxamido or cyano Z is a sulphur, an oxygen, an amino or a sulphoxide and n is equal to 0, 1, 2 or 3. The compounds of formula I are inhibitors of HIV replication by acting as inhibitors of a small aspartyl-protease dimer which specifically cleaves the precursors of a polyprotein coding for the structural proteins and the constitutive enzymes of the HIV virus.

Abstract: This invention relates to a naphthoquinone derivatives, to processes and to intermediates for preparing these derivatives, to pharmaceutical composition and to the use of these derivatives as antitumor agents in mammals.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of organic chemistry, and particularly therapeutic chemistry. The invention provides cis-form 5-(cytosinyl-1) 1,3-oxathiolanes of general formula (I), wherein R is an acyl or aralkoyl radical, derivatized from a nitrogen monocyclic or bicyclic heterocycle, and the hydroxymethyl group in position 2 is in cis position in relation to the plane defined by positions 2 and 5. The compounds of general formula (I) are useful as active ingredients in pharmaceutical compositions, particularly with antiviral activity.

Abstract: Novel pyrano heterocyclic anthracycline derivatives are described, which are useful in the treatment of cancer and tumors, such as breast cancer, leukemia, lung cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, renal cancer, and melanoma. As well, these compounds may be used ex vivo for the treatment of cancerous bone marrow before retransplanting said marrow in a patient. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of preparing the compounds are also described.
