  • Patent number: 8841323
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compounds, in particular novel pyridinone derivatives according to Formula (I) wherein all radicals are defined in the application and claims. The compounds according to the invention are positive allosteric modulators of metabotropic receptors-subtype 2 (“mGluR2”) which are useful for the treatment or prevention of neurological and psychiatric disorders associated with glutamate dysfunction and diseases in which the mGluR2 subtype of metabotropic receptors is involved. In particular, such diseases are central nervous system disorders selected from the group of anxiety, schizophrenia, migraine, depression, and epilepsy. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions and processes to prepare such compounds and compositions, as well as to the use of such compounds for the prevention and treatment of such diseases in which mGluR2 is involved.

  • Patent number: 6534488
    Abstract: The present invention relates to 32P or 33P-labelled bisphosphonates as radiotherapeutic radiopharmaceuticals. The 32P- or 33P-labelled bisphosphonates, which are chemically identical to the unlabelled agent, are expected to target the lesion site in an identical manner, but also deliver a significant radiocytotoxic effect to the surrounding cells. This should result, given the favorable energetics of the &bgr; particle emission from the 33P nuclide, in a loss of proliferative capacity of cells associated with the tumor lesion. The relative stability and in vivo localisation of bisphosphonates makes them good candidates as 32P/33P delivery vehicles.
