Abstract: The invention relates to the treatment of leukemias with an inhibitor of the activity of VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase of the formula I, the substituents being defined in the specification; as well as to new phthalazine derivatives; processes for the preparation thereof; the application thereof in a process for the treatment of the human or animal body; the use thereof for the treatment of a disease, especially a disease caused by ocular neovascularization, such as age-related macula degeneration or diabetic retinopathy, or other diseases that respond to the inhibition of tyrosine kinases, such as a proliferative disease; a method for the treatment of such disease in mammals; and the use of such a compound for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical preparation for the treatment especially of a disease as mentioned above.

Abstract: The invention relates to the treatment of an inflammatory disease, especially an inflammatory rheumatoid or rheumatic disease, and/or pain with an inhibitor of the activity of VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase of the formula I, wherein r is 0 to 2, n is 0 to 3 R1 and R2 a) are independently in each case a lower alkyl; b) together form a bridge of subformula I*, wherein the bond is achieved via the two terminal C atoms and m is 0 to 4, or c) together form a bridge of subformula I**, wherein one or two of the ring members T1, T2, T3 and T4 are nitrogen, and the others are in each case CH, and the bond is achieved via atoms T1 and T4; G is —C(?O)—, —CHF—, —CF2—, lower alkylene, C2-C6alkenylene, lower alkylene or C3-C6alkenylene substituted by acyloxy or hydroxy, —CH2—O—, —CH2S—, —CH2—NH—, —CH2—O—CH2—, —CH2—S—CH2—, —CH2—NH—CH2—, oxa (—O—), thia (—S—), imino (—NH—), —CH2—O—CH2—, —CH2S—CH2— or —CH2—NH—CH2—; A, B, D, E and T are independently N or CH subject to the proviso that at least one and not more t

Abstract: Non-naturally occurring vector for gene therapy are provided, comprised of chemically defined reagents, where the vector is self-assembling and where the vector comprises (1) a core complex comprising a nucleic acid and (2) at least one complex forming reagent, where the vector has fusogenic activity. The vector optionally may contain reagents permitting fusion with cell membranes and nuclear uptake. The vector also may contain an outer shell moiety that is anchored to the core complex, whereby the outer shell stabilizes the complex, protects it from unwanted interactions and enhances delivery of the nucleic acid into a target tissue or cell. The outer shell optionally may be sheddable, that is, it may be designed such that it dissociates from the vector upon entry into the target cell or tissue.
