A compound of formula (I) is described or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate or solvate thereof. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include the sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, hydrogen chloride, tartaric acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid salts.
摘要:
A process for preparing pharmacologically acceptable salts of N-(1(S)-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl)-L-alanyl amino acids, comprising the steps of: condensing an amino acid with N-(1(S)-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl)-L-alanine N-carboxyanhydride under basic conditions; decarboxylating the condensate under neutral to acidic conditions to prepare an N-(1(S)-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl)-L-alanyl amino acid; and converting the product to a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, characterized in that a series of procedures up to the formation of a pharmacologically acceptable salt or up to the withdrawal of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are carried out in an aqueous liquid to inhibit the production of a by-product (3). According to this process, high-quality pharmacologically acceptable salts of N-(1(S)-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl)-L-alanyl amino acids can be prepared in high yields in a cost-effective manner on a commercial scale.

Selected bis-amino acid hydroxyethylamino sulfonamide compounds are effective as retroviral protease inhibitors, and in particular as inhibitors of HIV protease. The present invention relates to such retroviral protease inhibitors and, more particularly, relates to selected novel compounds, composition and method for inhibiting retroviral proteases, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease, prophylactically preventing retroviral infection or the spread of a retrovirus, and treatment of a retroviral infection.
摘要:
The invention concerns novel 17-difluoromethylene-oestratrienes of general formula (I), in which: R1 is a hydrogen atom or a C¿1?-C10 alkyl group; R?5¿ is a methyl or ethyl group; R2 is a hydrogen atom or an α- or β-position C¿1?-C10 alkyl group; R?3¿ is a hydrogen atom or C¿1?-C10 alkyloxy group; R?4¿ is an α- or β-position hydrogen atom; A, B, C, D, E and G each stand for a hydrogen atom; and optionnaly at least one of the substituent pairs G and R?2, R2 and R4, R4¿ and A, A and R3, B and D, D and E represent a double bond. The novel compounds have antioxidant and vasculoprotective properties not previously noted in steroids and are suitable for use in the production of pharmaceutical preparations.
摘要:
The invention concerns a novel agent for transferring nucleic acids into cells. Said agent is particularly characterised in that it comprises one or several disulphide bonds sensitive to reducing conditions. The invention also concerns compositions comprising such an agent for transferring in vitro, in vivo, or ex vivo nucleic acids of interest into different cell types.
摘要:
With the help of X-ray structural analyses of drug-resistant HIV proteases and molecular modeling, a new type of inhibitor with a small P3 residue has been developed. These inhibitors are effective against HIV and its drug-resistant mutants, as well as FIV. Modification of existing HIV protease inhibitors by reducing the size of the P3 residue has the same effect. This finding provides a new strategy for the development of HIV protease inhibitors effective against the wild type and drug-resistant mutants and further supports that FIV protease is a useful model for drug-resistant HIV proteases, which often are developed through reduction in size of the binding region for the P3 group or the combined P3 and P1 groups.
摘要:
A method for crystallizing the maleic acid salt of N-(1(S)-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl)-L-alanyl-L-proline (Enalapril) from an aqueous liquid with ease in good yield, which comprises mixing an aqueous liquid containing N-(1(S)-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl)-L-alanyl-L-proline, maleic acid and a base and having a pH of 4 or more with an acid in an amount of the acid sufficient to convert the base to a neutral salt, to thereby crystallize N-(1(S)-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl)-L-alanyl-L-proline in the form of a maleic acid salt.
摘要:
This invention is directed to compounds of the Formula and the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof, where the substituents are as defined in the Specification, which are growth hormone secretogogues and which increase the level of endogenous growth hormone. The compounds of this invention are therapeutically effective in treating osteoporosis and/or frailty, congestive heart failure, frailty associated with aging, obesity; accelerating bone fracture repair, attenuating protein catabolic response after a major operation, reducing cachexia and protein loss due to chronic illness, accelerating wound healing, or accelerating the recovery of burn patients or patients having undergone major surgery; improving muscle strength, mobility, maintenance of skin thickness, metabolic homeostasis or renal homeostasis. The compounds of the present invention are also useful in treating osteoporosis and/or frailty when used in combination with: a bisphosphonate compound such as alendronate; estrogen, premarin, and optionally progesterone; an estrogen agonist or antagonist; or calcitonin, and pharmaceutical compositions useful therefor. Further, the present invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions therapeutically effective for increasing the endogenous production or release of growth hormone in a human or other animal which comprises an effective amount of a compound of the present invention and a growth hormone secretagogue selected from GHRP-6, Hexarelin, GHRP-1, growth hormone releasing factor (GRF), IGF-1, IGF-2 or B-HT920. The invention is also directed to intermediates useful in the preparation of compounds of Formula I.
