  • Patent number: 6335334
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of the formula I wherein A1, A2, R1, R2, R3, X and n are as defined in the claims, which are valuable pharmaceutically active compounds for the therapy and prophylaxis of diseases, for example of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, angina pectoris, cardiac insufficiency, thromboses or atherosclerosis. The compounds of the formula I are capable of modulating the body's production of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and are generally suitable for the therapy and prophylaxis of diseases which are associated with a disturbed cGMP balance. The invention furthermore relates to processes for preparing compounds of the formula I, to their use for the therapy and prophylaxis of the abovementioned diseases and for preparing pharmaceuticals for this purpose, and to pharmaceutical preparations which comprise compounds of the formula I.

  • Patent number: 6183726
    Abstract: The sensitivity and specificity of the optical modality can be enhanced by the use of highly absorbing dyes as contrast agents. Novel cyanine dyes that absorb and emit light in the near infrared region of electromagnetic spectrum are disclosed. These dyes are useful for imaging, diagnosis and therapy of various diseased states. Particularly, the molecules of the invention are useful for optical diagnostic imaging and therapy, in endoscopic applications for the detection of tumors and other abnormalities, for localized therapy, for photoacoustic tumor imaging, detection and therapy, and for sonofluorescence tumor imaging, detection and therapy.
