  • Patent number: 7910576
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of the formula I, in which R1; R2; R3; R4; R5; R6; R7; R8; R9; R10; R11; R12; R13; A; B, D and E have the meanings indicated in the claims. The compounds of the formula I are valuable pharmacologically active compounds. They exhibit a strong anti-aggregating effect on platelets and thus an anti-thrombotic effect and are suitable e.g. for the therapy and prophylaxis of cardio-vascular disorders like thromboembolic diseases or restenoses. They are reversible antagonists of the platelet ADP receptor P2Y12, and can in general be applied in conditions in which an undesired activation of the platelet ADP receptor P2Y12 is present or for the cure or prevention of which an inhibition of the platelet ADP receptor P2Y12 is intended. The invention furthermore relates to processes for the preparation of compounds of the formula I, their use, in particular as active ingredients in pharmaceuticals, and pharmaceutical preparations comprising them.

    Abstract: Carbamate linked prodrugs of meptazinol and other opioid analgesics are provided. The prodrug moiety may comprise a single amino acid or short peptide. Additionally, the present invention relates to methods for reducing gastrointestinal side effects in a subject, the gastrointestinal side effects being associated with the administration of an opioid analgesic. The methods comprise orally administering an opioid prodrug or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a subject, wherein the opioid prodrug is comprised of an opioid analgesic covalently bonded through a carbamate linkage to a prodrug moiety, and wherein upon oral administration, the prodrug or pharmaceutically acceptable salt minimizes at least one gastrointestinal side effect associated with oral administration of the opioid analgesic alone. Compositions for use with the method are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20110015134
    Abstract: This patent describes a method and materials to treat cancer diagnosed at an early stage, particularly breast cancer. It considers that metastatic breast cancer growth includes periods of dormancy, that surgery to remove a primary tumor can induce metastatic growth, and that women with Down Syndrome rarely get breast cancer. It elevates the level of an antiangiogenic drug produced by chromosome 21 preferably Endostatin in plasma preferably at least one day prior to surgery and kept at that high level preferably indefinitely. In one embodiment, the therapy specifically excludes drugs that significantly inhibit the VEGF pathway since that is important for wound healing. This method will prevent results of surgery from stimulating tumor growth and angiogenesis of micrometastatic disease that is much easier to prevent than control after the fact. This can be done indefinitely since there is no acquired resistance that develops, as happens in most cancer therapies.

  • Patent number: 7335677
    Abstract: Novel compounds that are inhibitors of one or most post-proline cleaving proteases, e.g. dipeptidyl peptidase IV, according to general formula (1). R1 is H or CN, X1 is O, S, CH2, CHF, CF2, CH(CH3), C(CH3)2 or CH(CN), and b is 1 or 2. G1 is H or a group according to the formula —CH2—X2—(CH2)a-G3 and G2 is H or a group according to the formula —CH2—(CH29a-G3, provided that one of G1 and G2 is H and the other is not H. X2 is O, S, or CH2, and a is 0, 1 or 2, provided that when a is 1 then X2 is CH2. G3 is a group according to one of general formulae 2-4, where the variables have meaning given in the description. The compounds are useful in the treatment of i.a.
