摘要:
The use of a progesterone receptor antagonist for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for preventing an oocyte from becoming fertilized without preventing ovulation or interfering with the regularity of the ovarian menstrual cycle of a mammal.
摘要:
A 24 kilodalton cytoplasmic protease which cleaves at proline-valine bonds is purified from UV-induced human U937 histiocytic lymphoma cells by affinity chromatography using the inhibitor DK120 as the ligand, followed by heparin-sepharose chromatography and reverse phase HPLC. Treating nuclei of uninduced U937 cells with the affinity-purified protease is sufficient to activate internucleosomal DNA fragmentation characteristic of apoptosis as demonstrated by gel electrophoresis in the figure.
摘要:
A method for treating endogenous, painful gastrointestinal conditions of non-inflammatory, non-ulcerative origin, such as abdominal migraine and irritable bowel syndrome, entails administering a pharmacologically effective amount of a mast cell degranulation-blocking agent, e.g. a naturally occurring polyamine, a heterocyclic histamine-1 receptor antagonist, a histamine-3 receptor agonist or an anti-female sex hormone.
摘要:
The application describes the use of at least one compound with progesterone antagonistic (PA) action and at least one compound with anti-oestrogenic (AO) action, together with partial agonistic action, in the preparation of drugs for hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) for peri- and post-menopausal women. When PA and AO are used in combination, the stimulation of the endometrium which is caused by the partial agonistic action of the AO when the AO is used alone is inhibited by the PA. A drug as proposed by the invention could, for instance, contain onapriston (PA) and tamoxifen (AO).
摘要:
The invention relates to the use of antiglucocorticoid steroids for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of anxiety disorders.
摘要:
Fertilization of an oocyte is prevented or inhibited by administering a fertilizing inhibitory amount of an antiprogestin to an ovulatory mammal in an amount which is insufficient to prevent ovulation but sufficient to inhibit fertilization, while the regularity of the menstrual cycle is sustained.
摘要:
Competitive progesterone antagonists, including two novel steroids, viz., 11β,19-[4-(cyanophenyl)-o-phenylene]-17β-hydroxy-17α-(3-hydroxyprop-1(Z)-enyl)-4-androsten-3-one and 11β,19-[4-(3-pyridinyl)-o-phenylene]-17β-hydroxy-17α-(3-hydroxyprop-1(Z)-enyl)-4-androsten-3-one, inhibit formation of endometrial glands at below their ovulation inhibiting dose and the abortive dose, and thus achieve oral contraception in females without adversely affecting the menstrual cycle and without risk of aborting a previous implanted fertilized egg or a fetus.
