摘要:
The present invention relates to novel benzocycloalkylazolethione compounds of formula (I) in which n is 0, 1 or 2; t is 0, 1, 2 or 3; R1 is independently halo, hydroxy or (C¿1-4?)alkyloxy; and R?2¿ is attached to the α, β or η-position and is a group selected from formulae (a), (b) and (c) which are dopamine β-hydroxylase inhibitors in which the benzocycloalkyl portion of the compound is selected from indanyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenyl and 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocycloheptenyl (in which the benzo is optionally substituted with one to three substituents) and the azolethione portion of the compound is selected from 2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazol-3-yl, 5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-[1,2,4]triazol-4-yl and 5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-[1,2,4]triazol-1-yl (each optionally substituted with one to three substituents); and the prodrugs, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, individual isomers and mixtures of isomers and the methods of using and preparing such benzocycloalkylazolethione compounds.
摘要:
Synthetic polypeptide analogs of parathyroid hormone PTH, parathyroid hormone related peptide PTHrp, and of the physiologically active truncated homologs and analogs of PTH and PTHrp, in which amino acid residues (22-31) form an amphipathic α-helix, said residues (22-31) selected from hydrophilic amino acids (Haa) and lipophilic amino acids (Laa) ordered in the sequence: Haa(Laa Laa Haa Haa)2 Laa and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful for the prophylaxis and treatment of ostoporosis in mammals. Processes for the production of the polypeptides via solid phase and recombinant methods are provided.
摘要:
An apparatus and method of use for assaying cellular motility in response to a concentration gradient of a chemotactic agent. Generally, the apparatus includes a chamber (6) having a region for receiving a biological sample (24) containing cells of interest and, spaced apart from such region, another region (26) for receiving a chemotactic agent. Between these regions, a concentration gradient is formed. Mapping the positions of individual cells responsive to such concentration gradient then occurs. Means for processing and analyzing the collected data are also provided. Motility determinations may be made on purified or unpurified samples. Single-site assay devices (6) and multi-site, high-throughput assay devices (36, 56, 81) are disclosed.
摘要:
Stable, aqueous pharmaceutical formulations of human nerve growth factor (NGF) in aqueous isotonic solutions, buffered to maintain the pH from about 4.5 to about 6.0, and optionnally containing a carrier such as human serum albumin are provided. Also provided are aqueous NGF formulations suitable for lyophilization and subsequent reconstitution in which rhNGF is admixed with sugars, optionally HSA, and buffer. The formulations are useful for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other neuronal disorders.
