Abstract:
The invention provides prodrugs activated by RNA-dependent DNA-polymerases, and methods for treating hematological tumors, blood, and blood derivatives from patients affected by retroviral infections by administering the prodrugs. The invention also provides methods for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions containing the prodrugs.
Abstract:
Herein described are prodrugs activated by RNA-dependent DNA-polymerases, such as telomerase and retroviral reverse transcriptases, their use for the treatment of haematological tumours and of blood and blood derivatives from patients affected by retroviral infections, and their use for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions, to be used for the treatment of solid tumours, of precancerous states and of diseases caused by infection with retroviruses.
Abstract:
Described herein are derivatives of arylsulfonamido-substituted hydroxamic acid of formula (I) having good solubility in water and inhibitory activity of matrix metalloproteinases, useful for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of diseases associated to a pathologic activity and/or an over-expression of metalloproteinases, and of cosmetic preparations having anti-ageing properties in particular for hair and skin.
Abstract:
The use of matrix metalloproteinases, mutated and not mutated, for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions useful in the treatment of pathologies associated with an accumulation of matrix bio-polymers and/or an excess of TIMPs (Tissue Inhihitors MetalloProteinases) is described; mutated matrix metalloproteinases, in which at least an aminoacid residue in a definite position in the protein, has been mutated into a hydrophilic and/or charged aminoacidic residue, obtaining an increased stability toward autoproteolysis are also described.
