Abstract: There is provided oligonucleotides directed against the CCR3 receptor and the common beta sub-unit of IL-3, IL-5 and GMCSF receptors. The oligonucleotides are useful to inhibit general inflammation, including inflammation associated with asthma, COPD, allergy, Cystic fibrosis (CF), hypereosinophilia and neoplastic cell proliferation such as cancer.

Abstract: The invention relates to therapeutic antisense oligonucleotides directed against genes encoding phosphodiesterases (PDE) and the use of these antisense oligonucleotides in combination. These antisense oligonucleotides may be used as analytical tools and/or as therapeutic agents in the treatment of disease associated with reduced cellular cAMP in a patient, such as inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract including, for example, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute respiratory distress syndrome, bronchitis, chronic bronchitis, silicosis, pulmonary fibrosis, lung allograft rejection, allergic rhinitis and chronic sinusitis as well as other conditions in which an increase in cyclic AMP or a decrease in PDE levels is beneficial.

Abstract: There is provided a pharmaceutical composition for treating respiratory disease comprising an NO-donating steroid and at least one bronchodilator. Also provided is a method for treating respiratory diseases associated with inflammation comprising administering an NO-donating steroid with at least one bronchodilator. Method of use of the combination of an NO-donating compound, and a steroid with at least one bronchodilator for treating respiratory disease is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to derivatives of 5-cyano-1H-indole of formula (I): in which R1, R2, X and n are as defined in claim 1, as well as to their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates and hydrates. Pharmaceutical compositions containing them, as well as their use for the preparation of medicaments intended for the preventative or curative treatment of illnesses which are dependent upon the activation of the interleukin CXCR2 receptor and of the chemokines of the same family, are also subjects of the invention.
