Patent number: 6066632Abstract: The present invention relates to novel N-substituted azaheterocyclic compounds of the general formula ##STR1## wherein X, Y, Z, R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and r are as defined in the detailed part of the present description, or salts thereof, to methods for their preparation, to compositions containing them, and to their use for the clinical treatment of painful, hyperalgesic and/or inflammatory conditions in which C-fibers play a pathophysiological role by eliciting neurogenic pain or inflammation as well as their use for treatment of indications caused by or related to the secretion and circulation of insulin antagonising peptides, e.g. non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and ageing-associated obesity.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1999Date of Patent: May 23, 2000Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Knud Erik Andersen, Tine Krogh J.o slashed.rgensen, Rolf Hohlweg, Erik Fischer, Uffe Bang Olsen, Zdenek Polivka, Karel Sindelar, Vladimir Valenta

Patent number: 6011041Abstract: The present invention is particularly directed to the use of a derivative of vinblastine, 3',4'-anhydrovinblastine (AHVB), which differs from vinblastine in that it possesses a double bond at the 3',4' position of the caranthine nucleus rather than the hydroxyl group that is present in the parent structure, as an antineoplastic agent in the therapeutic treatment of cancer. Specifically, the treatment of lymphoma with 3',4'-anhydrovinblastine is disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1996Date of Patent: January 4, 2000Assignee: University of British ColumbiaInventors: Bruce Schmidt, James Kutney, Lawrence Mayer

Patent number: RE37449Abstract: The present invention relates to the synthesis of dimer alkaloid compounds, particularly those of the Catharantus (Vinca) family, from an indole unit, such as cantharanthine, and a dihydroindole unit, such as vindoline. A multi-step process is disclosed including the steps of (1) of 1,4-reduction of a first dimeric iminium intermediate to an enamine compound by reaction with a 1,4-dihydropyridine compound; (2) oxidative transformation of the resulting enamine to a second iminium intermediate under controlled aeration; (3) reduction of the second iminium intermediate to form the target dimer alkaloid compounds. The entire process can be conducted in a one-pot operation to obtain the target compounds without isolation of the intermediates.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 1999Date of Patent: November 13, 2001Assignee: University of British ColumbiaInventors: James P. Kutney, Lewis S. L. Choi, Jun Nakano, Hiroki Tsukamoto, Camille A. Boulet, Michael McHugh
