Abstract: The present invention refers to a transdermal patch for the release of Estradiol and at least one progestogen agent through the skin, comprising or consisting of an outer backing foil, a matrix and a protective liner wherein a) the Estradiol and the progestogen agent(s) are present in the matrix in an oversaturated solution, b) the matrix contains 1 to 5 wt% activated SiO2, and c) the matrix has a moisture content of less than 0.7 wt.-%. The patch can be used for hormonal replacement therapy.

Abstract: Compounds which can be represented by general formula (I) indicated below, ##STR1## and in which the anthranilic acid aromatic ring may be mono- or di-substituted by the R.sub.1 group which can be selected independently from hydrogen, methyl and chloro, and in which the substituents at the chiral center (marked with an asterik in formula (I)) have the R (Rectus) configuration.

Abstract: Derivatives of glutamic and aspartic of formula (I) are described ##STR1## where the compounds are potent receptor antagonists of gastrin at the peripheral level and of cholecystokinin at the level of the central nervous system.

Abstract: A compound represented by the general formula (I) shown below ##STR1## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be used as the active ingredient in a pharmaceutical preparation. The pharmaceutical preparation is desirable for its anti-ulcer activity, for therapeutic use against tumors sustained by gastrin and other bioactive polypeptides correlated therewith, for therapeutic use in treating disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, for the treatment of pathological conditions of the central nervous system linked to imbalances in the neural physiological levels of gastrin or other bioactive polypeptides correlated therewith, for use in the treatment and prevention of pathological eye conditions caused by surgical treatment of cataracts or chronic ocular inflammation, and for the prevention of diseases of other sensory organs.

Abstract: The invention is directed to glutamic acid and aspartic acid derivatives represented by formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of unsubstituted, mono- or di-substituted phenyl groups, unsubstituted, mono- or di-substituted phenylamino groups, a 2(beta)naphthyl group, and heterocyclic, monocyclic and dicyclic groups; R.sub.2 is selected from heterocyclic spiro groups, aminoalkyladamantyl groups, alkylamino groups, C.sub.4 -C.sub.10 cycloalkylamino groups and dicyclic amino groups (condensed); R.sub.3 is H, CH.sub.3 or C.sub.2 H.sub.5 ; A is a bond or a linear or branched alkylene group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; W is a tertiary amino group or a heterocyclic group; and r is 1 or 2. The compounds have a potent antagonistic effect on gastrin and cholecystokinin and can be used to treat diseases which are linked to imbalances in the physiological levels of gastrin, cholecystokinin or other biologically active polypeptides related thereto.

Abstract: Compounds represented by general formula (I) and (II), in which r is 1 or 2, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are selected independently from H, CH.sub.3, C.sub.2 H.sub.5 and CHO, provided that R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are not simultaneously CHO, and in which R.sub.1 is selected from: an aminoalkyl adamantyl group, a monocyclic aminoalkyl group, a dicyclic aminospiro group, a dicyclic amino group (orthofused), a dicyclic amino group, and azacycloalkyl group, an azadicyclic group (orthofused), a dicyclic azaspiro group, and azadicyclic group, and azacycloalkyl group, and a linear or branched aminoalkyl group.

Abstract: Transdermal therapeutic systems containing as active ingredients oestradiol and norethisterone acetate have added thereto octyldodecanol to reduce or avert crystal formation after storage. The use of octyldodecanol thus makes it possible to produce a storage-stable system with the active ingredients oestradiol and norethisterone acetate with a high thermodynamic activity.

Abstract: Compounds of general formula (I), in which r is 1 or 2, R.sub.1 is selected independently from: unsubstituted, mono- or di-substituted phenyl groups, unsubstituted, mono- or di-substituted phenylamino groups, the 2(beta)-naphthyl group, and heterocyclic, monocyclic or dicyclic groups; R.sub.2 is selected independently from: heterocyclic spiro groups, aminoalkyladamantyl groups, alkylamino groups, C.sub.4 -C.sub.10 cycloalkylamino groups, and dicyclic amino groups (condensed); R.sub.3 is H, CH.sub.3 or C.sub.2 H.sub.5 ; A is a bond or a linear or branched alkylene group comprising from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; W is a tertiary amino group or a heterocyclic group.

Abstract: Amidic derivatives of glutamic, aspartic and 2-amino adipic acids represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## wherein r is from 1 to 3, R.sub.1 is an aryl group or a substituted aryl group, R.sub.2 is a 8-azaspiro(4.5)decan-8-yl group or a 3-azaspiro(5.5)decan-3-yl group, wherein said compound has a chiral center marked with an asterisk in said formula (I), thus forming a racemic (R,S) form or an isomeric form. The amidic derivatives are useful in treating ulcers, hypergastrinaemia-activated tumors, pathological conditions of CNS, biliary dyskinesia, colitis, pancreatistis, and surgically induced myosis.
