The compounds are useful in therapy.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an isomerisation method of vitamin D analogues, such as compounds useful for the synthesis of calcipotriol, and to and to the use of a flow-through photoreactor or continuous flow photoreactor reactor for making said vitamin D analogues. The present invention relates further to the use of intermediates produced with said method for making calcipotriol or calcipotriol monohydrate, or pharmaceutical formulations thereof.
Abstract:
Pyridyl cyanoguanidine compounds of the general formula I wherein A, X1, X2, X3, Y1, Y2, Y3, R1, R2, R5, R6 and n are as indicated in the description are suitable as prodrugs in human and veterinary therapy of proliferative diseases such as cancers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel methods for the preparation of intermediates which are useful in the synthesis of cacipotriol. The present invention relates further to the use of intermediates produced with said methods for making calcipotriol or calcipotriol monohydrate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to intermediates useful for the synthesis of calcipotriol or calcipotriol monohydrate, to methods of producing said intermediates, and to methods of stereoselectively reducing said intermediates.
Abstract:
Compounds according to formula I in which formula R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, represent halogen, (C1-C6)hydrocarbyl, optionally substituted with one or two hydroxyl group or one or more fluorine atoms, or, together with the carbon atom to which they are both attached, R1 and R2 form a (C3-C6)carbocyclic ring, or one of R1 and R2 taken together with R3 forms a direct bond, such that a triple bond is constituted, or R1 and R2 represent both hydrogen; R3 when not forming a direct bond with one of R1 and R2 represents hydrogen or (C1-C3)hydrocarbyl; X represents (E)-ethylene, (Z)-ethylene, ethynylene, or a bond; Y and Z independently represent hydrogen or methyl; the bond between C#16 and C#17 is depicted with a dotted line to illustrate that said bond may be either a single bond, in which case the projection of the ring substituent is beta, or a double bond; A represents hydroxyl, fluorine or hydrogen; B represents CH2 or H2; the configuration in the 3-position corresponds to the same configuration as in natural vitamin D3 (normal), or the configuration in the 3-position is opposite to that of natural vitamin D3 (epi); with the proviso that when X represents (E)-ethylene or (Z)-ethylene, one of R1 and R2 taken together with R3 may not form a direct bond, such that a triple bond is constituted; with the further proviso that when X represents a bond R1 and R2 are not hydrogen; with the further proviso that the compound of formula I is not 3(S)-hydroxy-9,10-secocholesta-5(Z),7(E),10(19),22(E),24-penta-ene; and prodrugs and stereo isomeric forms thereof are provided together with their use in therapy, and their use in the manufacture of medicaments.
Abstract:
The invention relates to novel compounds according to formula Ia and Ib, said compounds being useful, e.g. in the treatment of inflammatory, ophthalmic diseases, or cancer.
