The invention relates more specifically to the use of derivatives of cyclopentenone for the inhibition and/or prevention of cancer of the colon, pancreas, larynx, ovary, duodenum, kidney, oral cavity, prostate, lung, endothelial cells and leukemias.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel, non-secosteroidal, diaryl compounds with vitamin D receptor (VDR) modulating activity that are less hypercalcemic than 1a,25 dihydroxy vitamin D3. These compounds are useful for treating bone disease and psoriasis.
Abstract:
This invention relates to novel compounds of formula I that are liver selective glucocorticoid receptor antagonists, methods of preparing the compounds and methods for the use of the compounds in the regulation of metabolism and lowering of blood glucose levels.
Abstract:
The present invention provides illudin analogs of general formula (I) where R 1 is (CH 2 ) n -X-Y or H; n is 0 to 4; X is O or S or N or absent; and Y is an optionally substituted (C 1 - C 8 )alkyl, (C 6 -C 10 )aryl, (C 6 -C 10 )aryl(C 1 -C 4 )alkyl or cyclo(C 3 -C 6 ) alkyl optionally comprising one or more heteroatoms; a monosaccharide, an amino acid residue, or H when n is 2-4; R 2 is absent; or R 1 and R 2 together comprise a 5-7-membered cyclic ring; R 3 is (C 1 -C 4 )alkyl or H; R 4 is H, SCH 2 CO 2 (C 1 -C 4 )alkyl, O-(C 5 -C 12 )aryl or -S-(C 5 -C 12 )aryl; R 5 is H, OH or absent; R 6 is (C 1 -C 4 )alkyl or absent; R 7 is OH or OSi((C 1 -C 4 )alkyl) 3 ; or R 6 and R 7 together are ethylenedioxy; R 8 is optionally substituted (C 1 -C 4 )alkyl, and the bonds represented by ---- are individually present or absent. The invention further provides dimers comprising analogs of formula (I).
Abstract:
A novel class of dicarboxylic acid derivatives, the use of these compounds as phar-maceutical compositions, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and meth-ods of treatment employing these compounds and compositions. The present compounds may be useful in the treatment and/or prevention of conditions mediated by Peroxisome Prolifera-tor-Activated Receptors (PPAR).
Abstract:
By incubating a solution containing an enzyme in the absence of any test substance or the substrate of the enzyme, false positive can be reduced in random screening.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the inhibition of HIV integrase, and to the treatment of AIDS or ARC by administering compounds of the formula (I), or a tautomer of said compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or prodrug of said compound or of a tautomer thereof, wherein R1 is phenyl, wherein said phenyl is substituted from 1-3 times with R?2, or R1¿ naphthyl, and wherein said naphthyl is optionally substituted from 1-3 times with R2; each R2 is independently selected from halo, C¿1?-C3 alkyl, C1-C2 alkoxy, C1-C3 haloalkyl, and phenyl-(CH2)mOn-; m is 0 or 1; n is 0 or 1; and Z is methylene or -C(O)-, provided that when Z is -C(O)- said substituted phenyl is not ortho-chloro phenyl.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of fibrates of formula (I) in which R1 is a halogen atom, a 2,2-dichloro-cyclopropyl group, a (4-chlorophenyl)-hydroxymethyl group, a 4-cholobenzoyl group or a 2-(4-chlorobenzamido)-ethyl group, and R2 is hydrogen or a C1-C4 alkyl group.
