Abstract: C2-C5-Alkyl-substituted [(imidazol-1-yl)-1-hydroxy-1-phosphono-ethyl]-phosphonic acids, as well as methods or processes for their manufacture, their use in the manufacture of pharmaceutical formulations, their use in the treatment of diseases, methods of using them in the treatment of diseases, pharmaceutical formulations encompassing them and/or the compounds for use in the treatment of diseases, are described. The compounds are able to inhibit excessive or inappropriate bone resorption and for the treatment of other diseases which are caused by excessive prenylation of target proteins, such as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. The compounds are of the formula I, wherein one of R1 and R2 is hydrogen and the other is C2-C5-alkyl that is branched or unbranched, and can be in free form, in the form of an ester, and/or of a salt.

Abstract: Disclosed are polycyclic compounds of formula I wherein R1, R2, X, Y and cycle A are as defined in claim 1, which have interesting pharmaceutical properties.

Abstract: Methods of treating various autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuritis, optical neuritis, amylotrophic lateral sclerosis, and uveitis utilizing specific amino alcohol derivatives are provided herein.

Abstract: A compound of formula (I): wherein R1, R2, R3 and Y are as defined herein, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable and -cleavable ester, or acid addition salt thereof, useful for promoting the release of parathyroid hormone, e.g. for preventing or treating bone conditions which are associated with increased calcium depletion or resorption or in which stimulation of bone formation and calcium fixation in the bone is desirable.

Abstract: Use of compound of formula (I), wherein, is, or, and wherein the symbols are as defined, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable and-cleavable ester, or acid addition salt thereof, for the preparation of a medicament for promoting the release of parathyroid hormone, e.g. for preventing or treating bone conditions which are associated with increased calcium depletion or resorption or in which stimulation of bone formation and calcium fixation in the bone is desirable.
