摘要:
Novel methods for the medical treatment and/or inhibition of the development of breast cancer, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia or atherosclerosis in susceptible warm-blooded animals including humans involving administration of selective estrogen receptor modulator and an amount of a sex steroid precursor selected from the group consisting of dehydroepiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol, and compounds converted in vivo to one of the foregoing precursors. Further administration of bisphosphonates in combination with selective estrogen receptor modulators and/or sex steroid precursors is disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions for delivery of active ingredients and kits useful to the invention are disclosed.
摘要:
Novel methods for treating or reducing the likelihood of acquiring symptoms or diseases due to the menopause, in postmenopausal women, particularly osteoporosis, vaginal atrophy and dryness, hypogonadism, diminished libido, skin atrophy, connective tissue disease, urinary incontinence, breast, endometrial, ovarian and uterine cancers, hot flashes, loss of muscle mass, insulin resistance, fatigue, loss of energy, aging, physical symptoms of menopause, in susceptible warm-blooded animals including humans involving administration of a sex steroid precursor are disclosed. Said method comprising novel ways of administering and dosing dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in order to take advantage of positive androgenic effects in the vaginal layers lamina propia and/or the layer muscularis, without undesirably causing systemic estrogenic effects in order to avoid the risk of breast and uterine cancer. Pharmaceutical compositions for delivery of active ingredient(s) useful to the invention are disclosed.
摘要:
Compounds having the structure, their salts or N-oxide derivatives: are used to treat or reduce le likelihood of acquiring androgen-dependent diseases, such as prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, polycystic ovarian syndrome, acne, hirsutism, seborrhea, androgenic alopecia and male baldness. They can be formulated together with pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier or otherwise made into any pharmaceutical dosage form. Combinations with other active pharmaceutical agents are also disclosed.
摘要:
Novel methods of medical treatment and/or inhibition of development of diseases are disclosed for diseases that are sensitive to androgenic or estrogenic activity. The treatments utilize inhibitors of type 5 and/or type 3 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Novel inhibitors of type 5 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase are also disclosed, as are novel inhibitors of type 3 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.

摘要:
A method of treatment of androgen-related diseases such as prostate cancer in susceptible male animals, including humans, comprises administering novel antiandrogens and/or novel sex steroid biosynthesis inhibitors as part of a combination therapy. Sex steroid biosynthesis inhibitors, especially those capable of inhibiting conversion of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) or 4-androstenedione ( DELTA 4-dione) to natural sex steroida (and testosterone into dihydrotestosterone) in peripheral tissues, are used in combination with antiandrogens usually after blockade of testicular hormonal secretions. Antiestrogens can also be part of the combination therapy. Pharmaceutical compositions and two, three, four and five component kits are useful for such combination treatment.
摘要:
Certain benzopyran antiestrogens are disclosed for treating estrogen sensitive diseases such as breast cancer. Prodrug forms provide ease of manufacturing, good shelf life, and bioavailibility.
摘要:
A therapeutic combination, useful in the treatment or prevention of benign prostatic hyperplasia, includes an antiestrogen and at least one further active ingredient selected from the group consisting of inhibitors of aromatase activity and inhibitors of 5α-reductase activity. Pharmaceutical compositions and kits useful for such treatment are also provided.
