Abstract: The present invention provides novel diphenyl ethene compounds and pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof. Also provided are methods for making the compounds of the invention as well as methods for the use thereof in the treatment of immune, inflammatory, and auto-immune diseases.

Abstract: The invention provides novel 1,2-diphenylethene derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, the process for production of these compounds and their pharmaceutical composition and the use of these compounds as modulators of T-cells, neutrophils, macrophages and their associated cytokines as agents for treating immune, inflammatory and auto-immune diseases.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions containing hydroxylstilbenes or their derivatives or analogues. The compositions are useful to inhibit protein kinease, and for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, including psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, rhumatoid arthritis, restinosis, inflammatory bowel disease, and inflammatory lung disease. They are also useful to treat surgical adhesions and graft rejection. Novel derivatives and analogues are also disclosed.

Abstract: Compounds, isolated from the bacteria Xenorhabdus bovienil, have antineoplastic activity. The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds and the methods for employing them as medicaments, particularly in the treatment of human and animal cancers.

Abstract: The invention is drawn to novel antibiotics, XENORXIDES of formula shown below, wherein R1, R2=hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, acyl, aryl, aralkyl, or heterocyclyl group; R3=hydrogen, alkyl cycloalkyl, aralkyl or aryl group, produced by bacterial symbiont Xenorhabdus bovienii and/or other Xenorhabdus species, and/or by oxidation of the corresponding dithiolopyrrolone derivatives with oxygen and Xenorhabdus species, and/or its cell-free filtrate, the additional salts thereof, the compositions thereof and their use as medicaments and/or agrochemicals, particularly in the treatment of infectious diseases involving microorganisms susceptible to them, including drug-resistant Staphylococcus.

Abstract: The invention is drawn to a novel use of a group of known compounds with the formula shown below, ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 =hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, acyl, aryl, aralkyl, or heterocyclic group; R.sub.3 =hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl, aryl or heterocyclic group, the salts thereof, the compositions thereof and their use as medicaments, particularly in the treatment of human and animal cancers.

Abstract: The invention is drawn to novel antibiotics, xenomins of the formula shown below, ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 =hydrogen; R.sub.2 =an unsubstituted acyl group; R.sub.3 =hydrogen or alkyl, produced by Xenorhabdus species, the salts thereof, the compositions thereof and their use as medicaments and/or agrochemicals, particularly in the treatment of infectious diseases involving microorganisms susceptible to them, including drug-resistant Staphylococcus, and in the treatment of human and animal cancers.

Abstract: The invention is drawn to an antibiotic, NEMATOPHIN, 3-indoleethyl 3'-methyl-2-oxo-pentanamide (+stereoisomer, -stereoisomer and racemic mixture) and its derivatives, 3-indoleethyl 2-oxo-alkanamides, 3-indoleethyl 2-oxo-alkanoates with or without substitute(s) on the indole ring, produced by bacterial symbiont Xenorhabdus nematophilus and/or other Xenorhabdus species or synthesized by reaction of tryptamine or substituted tryptamine and 2-oxo-alkanoic acid or its derivative, the additional salts thereof, the pharmaceutical compositions thereof and their use as medicaments, particularly in the treatment of infectious diseases involving microorganisms susceptible to them, including antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus.
