Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of general formula (I) wherein R stands for a group of general formula —COOR1, —CONR2R3, —CONR4CONR4R5 or —CH2OR6, wherein R1 stands for a C2-6 alkyl group; a C1-6 alkyl group substituted; or a C3-6 cycloalkyl group; R2 and R3 are identical or different and stand independently from each other for hydrogen atom or a C1-6 alkyl group which optionally may be substituted; a 5- or 6-membered cycloalkyl or a heteroaryl group; and their tautomers, solvates and the mixtures thereof and acid addition salts of these compounds. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of general formula (I) as active agent. The angiogenesis-inhibitors according to the invention inhibit the neovascularization in living tissues and as such can be used for preventing and inhibiting angiogenesis appearing in connection with tumor growth and for preventing the formation of tumor metastases.

Abstract: The invention relates to R-2-[3-([1,4]benzodioxan-2-ylmethylamino)-1-propyl]-3(2H)-pyridazinone of formula (1), and to S-2-[3-([1,4]benzodioxan-2-ylmethylamino)-1-propyl]-3(2H)-pyridazinone of formula (2), and to acid-addition salts thereof as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds. Furthermore, the invention relates to a process for the preparation of the above compounds. The new starting compounds of formulae (4) and (5) are also involved in the scope of the invention. The compounds according to the invention possess &agr;1- and &agr;2-adrenoceptor antagonistic effects and urogenital selectivity. Thus, they are useful for the treatment of the benign prostate hyperplasia.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of 17 .alpha.-hydroxy-20-oxopregnane derivatives of the general formula (I), ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 means a hydroxy or an oxo group; andthe dotted lines optionally represent one or more additional valence bond(s), with the proviso that the dotted line in the 4-position and the dotted line in the 5-position cannot each simultaneously be an additional valence bond from steroids having 23,24-dinor-17(20)-dehydrocholan-22-oic -22-oic acid structure.According to the process of the invention a steroid derivative having 23,24-dinorcholan-22-oic acid structure, containing a double bond in 17(20)-position, is transformed to 17.alpha., 20-epoxy-23,24-dinorcholanoic acid, the latter is converted to a reactive acid derivative, which is then reacted with a salt-containing azide ion to yield a 17.alpha., 20-epoxy-23,24-dinorcholanoic acyl azide derivative and the azide obtained is reacted with a mineral or organic acid in an aqueous medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel 3(2H)-pyridazinone-derivatives of the general formula (I), pharmaceutical compositions containing them and process for their preparation. In the general formula (I) ##STR1## stands for an ethyl or propyl group substituted by a terminal halogen atom or a hydroxyl or NR.sup.1 R.sup.2 group, whereinR.sup.1 represents hydrogen atom or an unsubstituted or optionally substituted benzyl group;R.sup.2 represents hydrogen atom or an unsubstituted or optionally substituted benzo[1,4]dioxan-2-yl-methyl or -ethyl group or a (CH.sub.2).sub.n --R.sup.3 group, whereinn is 2 or 3; andR.sup.3 stands for an unsubstituted or optionally substituted phenoxy or phenylthio group; andX stands for a hydrogen or halogen atom or an unsubstituted or optionally substituted, saturated or unsaturated 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic group containing a nitrogen atom and optionally an additional heteroatom, e.g.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel pyrimido [5,4-b][1,4]oxazine derivatives of the formula (I), and the acid addition salts thereof, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and a process for their preparation. In the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 stands for a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group;R.sup.2 stands for hydrogen or halogen or an azido group or an --NR.sup.5 R.sup.6 group, whereinR.sup.5 represents hydrogen or a benzyl group, or a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group unsubstituted or substituted by a hydroxyl group,R.sup.6 stands for hydrogen, an amino group, a C.sub.3-6 cycloalkyl group, a straight or branched-chain C.sub.1-4 alkyl group optionally substituted by a hydroxyl, mercapto, aminocarbonyl, furyl, 2-benzo[1,4]dioxanyl, di(C.sub.1-4 alkyl)amino group or by a phenyl or phenoxy group optionally mono- or polysubstituted by halogen or C.sub.1-4 alkoxy group (s) or by a 6-membered, saturated nitrogen-containing heterocycle optionally containing an additional nitrogen or oxygen atom and optionally substituted by a C.
