  • Patent number: 6747148
    Abstract: Sulfonamide derivatives, their physiologically tolerable salts and their prodrugs according to the present invention are vitronectin receptor antagonists and inhibitors of cell adhesion, as well as inhibit bone resorption by osteoclasts. These derivatives, salts and prodrugs are pharmaceutically active compounds useful in the therapy and prophylaxis of diseases which are caused at least partially by an undesired extent of bone resorption, for example of osteoporosis. Processes for the preparation of the sulfonamide derivatives according to the present invention, the use of these derivatives as pharmaceutically active ingredients, and pharmaceutical preparations comprising these derivatives also are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6660728
    Abstract: The present invention relates to thienyl substituted acylguanidine derivatives, such as compounds of formula (I) in which R1, R2, R4, R6, A, B and D have the meanings indicated in the claims, their physiologically tolerable salts and their prodrugs. The compounds of the present invention are valuable pharmaceutical active compounds. They are vitronectin receptor antagonists and inhibitors of bone resorption by osteoclasts. They are suitable, for example, for the therapy and prophylaxis of diseases which are caused at least partially by an undesired extent of bone resorption, for example of osteoporosis. The invention furthermore relates to processes for the preparation of thienyl substituted acylguanidines, their use, in particular as active ingredients in pharmaceuticals, and pharmaceutical preparations comprising them.

  • Publication number: 20030203896
    Abstract: The present invention relates to acylguanidino derivatives of formula (I), in which R1, R2, R3, A, B, X, Y and n have the meanings indicated in claim 1, their physiologically tolerable salts and their prodrugs. The compounds of the formula (I) are valuable pharmaceutically active compounds. They are vitronectin receptor antagonists and inhibitors of cell adhesion and bone resorption by osteoclasts. This renders them suitable, for example, for the therapy and prophylaxis of illness which are based on the interaction between vitronectin receptors and their ligands in cell-cell or cell-matrix interaction processes or which can be prevented, alleviated or cured by influencing such interactions. For example, they can be applied for treating and preventing osteoporosis, or for inhibiting undesired angiogenesis or proliferation of cells of the vascular smooth muscles.
