Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising as an effective ingredient an oligopeptide identical or analogous to the C-terminal portion of OGP, having stimulatory activity on the production of hematopoietic cells. Preferred oligopeptides that are used are Tyr-Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly, Tyr-Gly-Phe-His-Gly, Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly or Met-Tyr-Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly. More specifically, these oligopeptides enhance the engraftment of bone marrow transplants, hemopoietic reconstruction, bone marrow re-population and peripheral stem cell mobilization, preferably after chemotherapy or irradiation. The invention further provides methods of treatment and for using these oligopeptides in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: Catalytic monoclonal antibodies (abzymes) with selective protease activity in the pathologies characterized by the presence of plaques and fibrillar aggregates with protein component; methods for the preparation thereof and the use thereof as medicaments in the treatment of pathologies such as Alzheimer's disease, amyloidosis, atherosclerosis, prions diseases.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) for treatment of pathologies in which erosion of cartilaginous and bone matrix occurs, for example osteoarthrosis. An exampliary compound is 2,6-anthraquinonesulfonamido-N,N-caproic acid.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) ##STR1## in which A is (CH.sub.2).sub.n in which n is 1-10, preferably 3 or 5, and R is the acyl group from a known anti-inflammatory agent, exhibit high anti-inflammatory activity. The mechanism of action is novel because they do not release the anti-inflammatory agent in the body but exhibit an activity superior to the activity of the known anti-inflammatory agent. The compounds are also active in combating bone calcium loss.
