Abstract: Provided are novel crystalline forms of a spiro-compound which acts as a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. In particular, isolated crystalline polymorphs of (S)-2-ethyl-8-methyl-1-thia-4,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decane-3-one are described which have favorable properties in pharmaceutical manufacture. Also provided are methods to prepare said crystalline polymorphs, and to convert them into each other as well as methods for preparing medicaments containing the same which are suitable for use in the treatment of diseases and disorders that respond to modulation of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor.

Abstract: A peptidomimetic agent from dextrorotatory amino acids includes vGek with Dval-gly-Dglu-Dlys as a central D-amino acid sequence, whereby gly is equal to D-glycine, which is equal to L-glycine. Pharmaceutical agents for use in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Lewy Body dementia, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, as well as Huntington's Chorea disease, multi-system atrophy as well as disorders similar to these neurodegenerative diseases that contain at least one peptidomimetic agent from dextrorotatory amino acids are also included.

Abstract: Compounds in the form of their racemates, enantiomers or diastereomers with general formula I in which R stands for the unchanged portion of a variable pharmaceutical active ingredient molecule, B stands for a spacer, and Toc with the formula and R?, R? and R?? are equal to H or methyl stands for tocopherol and A stands for C?X, SOm, X or CH2, whereby X is equal to 0, S or NR1 (when n?1) or S or NR1 (when n=0), and B means a grouping X—R2—Y with Y equal to C?X, SOm or C(XR3)R4, and n is equal to 0 to 6, and m stands for 1 or 2, whereby R1 stands for H, C1 to C10-alkyl, Het or an aryl or Het radical that is bonded via a C1 to C6-spacer, and whereby R2 is selected from the group alkylene, arylene or Het spacers and combinations thereof, whereby the latter are linked to one another either directly or via radical A or via grouping Xo-A-Xp, whereby o and p are equal to 0, 1 or 2, and the latter can be the same or different, and whereby R3 and R4 stand for H, C1 to C10-alkyl, Het or an aryl or Het radical

Abstract: Novel peptides, whose individual components are L-amino acids or D-amino acids are used as active ingredients in medicaments for treating diseases in which the increased occurrence of free radicals plays a pathophysiological role, or for treating diseases involving acute hypoxia or ischaemia in an organ system of the body, in particular in the central nervous system, or for treating iron-storage diseases such as Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome, or for treating neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer's disease, the Lewy body variant of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multi-system atrophy, Lewy body dementia or Huntington's chorea and all syndromes that are similar to the neurodegenerative diseases.
