Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compounds of the formula I, methods for their preparation and their use for treatment of diseases. The invention discloses the synthesis of levodopa (L-DOPA) esters by coupling polyhydroxy compounds or their derivatives to the L-DOPA carboxyl group. The synthesis allows to produce L-DOPA derivatives which are highly soluble in water as well as aqueous and biocompatible liquids and have an improved hydrolytic stability in water or aqueous and biocompatible media for an application over several days. The invention helps producing L-DOPA substances for applications in the fields of medicine, biology and medical engineering as well as in the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract: The present invention describes a new method and new combination products for the therapy of neurological and other conditions which respond to dopaminergic therapies and especially to L-DOPA (L-Dihydroxy-Phenylalanine) based on the use of L-DOPA esters, especially of L-DOPA glycerol ester and L-DOPA Cholin Ester.

Abstract: A grinding body (1), which consists of a support material (5) and an abrasive (2) adhesively applied thereto, is formed such that the grinding body (1) has an abrasive-free rim that laterally adjoins the active region of the abrasive (2).

Abstract: Disclosed is the oral use of dopamine partial agonists and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof in order to create a pharmaceutical preparation for treating the restless legs syndrome, which effectively controls the symptoms while having a significantly smaller undesired effect of a medicament than medicaments known in prior art.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) consisting of an impermeable coating, a matrix containing an ergoline compound having the formula (I) or a physiologically compatible salt or derivative thereof, wherein R1 denotes an H atom or a halogen atom and R2 is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and denotes a single or double bond, and a removable protective layer, wherein the ergoline compound or a physiologically compatible salt or derivative thereof is stabilised by an antioxidant and a basic polymer.

Abstract: This invention is directed to an oral modified release formulation of the phytoestrogen 8-Prenylnaringenin in combination with a progestin, preferably with Drospirenone, and several uses thereof. In another aspect of the invention an oral modified formulation of 8-Prenylnaringenin with an immediately releasing progestin, like Drospirenone, is provided as well as several uses thereof.

Abstract: The invention concerns a transdermal therapeutic system containing ergoline derivatives, preferably lisuride, with a stabilized ergoline compound. Stabilization of the oxidation sensitive ergoline combination is done through a combination of at least one fat-soluble, radical-trapping antioxidant, preferably Di-tert.-butylmethylphenols, Di-tert.-butylmetoxyphenols, tocopherols or ubichinones and a basic polymer. Use of a transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) comprising a pharmaceutical layer containing at least one matrix having an active ingredient and/or an active ingredient reservoir; a diffusion barrier that is permeable to said active ingredient and arranged on the skin side of the active ingredient reservoir; and an ergoline derivative or salt thereof as an active ingredient for producing an agent for obtaining and maintaining the circadian rhythm under dopamine therapy.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a dopamine agonist in the form of an agent consisting of at least two spatially discrete compositions, of which one is a transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) containing the dopaminergic agent and another one or more are preparations for oral and/or parenteral application containing that same dopaminergic agent for the treatment of dopaminergically treatable diseases with the following elements: a) the TTS is continuously applied, b) within the duration of application in a) the composition for oral or parenteral dosage is administered.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transdermal therapeutic system containing ergolin compounds, preferably lisuride, in which the ergolin compound is stabilized. The oxidation-sensitive ergolin compound is stabilized by a combination of at least one liposoluble, free radical-scavenging antioxidant, preferably di-tert.-butyl methyl phenol, di-tert.-butyl metoxy phenol, tocopherol or ubiquinone and a basic polymer.
