  • Patent number: 8835653
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of the formula I, wherein R1; R2; R3; R4; R5, R16, X and M have the meanings indicated in the claims. The compounds of formula I are valuable pharmacologically active compounds. They exhibit a strong anti-thrombotic effect and are suitable, for example, for the therapy and prophylaxis of cardio-vascular disorders like thromboembolic diseases or restenoses. They are reversible inhibitors of the blood clotting enzymes factor Xa and thrombin and can in general be applied in conditions in which an undesired activity of factor Xa and/or thrombin are present or for the cure or prevention of which an inhibition of factor Xa and thrombin are 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.

  • Publication number: 20140220112
    Abstract: Sparingly water-soluble agents can be formulated as cyclodextrin complexes, however, these water-soluble drug-cyclodextrin complexes dissociate when the complex is administered into patients. The dilution of the complex in the patient leads to the drug being released from the complex, so the drug is not effectively targeted. In contrast, drugs encapsulated in the aqueous core of a lipid vesicles are not released when the liposome is diluted in blood. This invention describes compositions and methods whereby cyclodextrin or polyanionic beta-cyclodextrin drug-complexes are mixed with a preformed liposome containing the amine salts of an acidic compound. This results in the drug cyclodextrin complex being transferred into the liposome where it is stably retained. The liposome-encapsulated drug can then be injected into a patient.

    Abstract: Disclosed are alicyclic[c]benzopyrone derivatives and use thereof. The alicyclic[c]benzopyrone derivatives are compounds represented by formula I or their salts. The present compounds not only significantly improve high activity induced by MK-801, but also effectively improve clambering symptom induced by Apomorphine and do not cause EPS within effective dose. These in vitro targets and in vivo pharmacological models are closely related to diseases of the nervous system caused by dopamine dysfunction, especially schizophrenia. Therefore the present compounds can be used for the treatment of central nervous system diseases, especially schizophrenia. ED50 is lower and effect is stronger in two animal models i.e. high activity induced by MK-801 and clambering symptom induced by Apomorphine, while ED50 is higher and therapeutic index is greater in animal models of catalepsy.
