Abstract:
The invention relates to novel peptide derivatives of formula (I): Cyclo-(Arg-X -Asp-X -X -X -X -X -R ); which are biologically active as ligands of integrin alpha v beta 6, X representing Ser, Gly or Thr; X representing Leu, Ile, Nle, Val or Phe; X representing Asp, Glu, Lys or Phe; X representing Gly, Ala or Ser; X representing Leu, Ile, Nle, Val or Phe; X representing Arg, Har or Lys; and R being left out or representing one or more omega -aminocarboxylic acid radicals, said omega -aminocarboxylic acid radical(s) being 500 to 2500 pm in length. Said amino acids can also be derivatised and the D and L forms of the optically active amino acid radicals are enclosed. The invention also relates to the physiologically suitable salts and solvates of the inventive derivatives.
Abstract:
Compounds of the formula (I) Cyclo-(Arg-X-Asp-R ) in which X means Gly, Ala or NH-NH-CO, R means a radical of formula (II), and R , R , and R have the meanings given in claim 1, and their salts, can be used as integrin inhibitors, in particular for the prevention and treatment of circulatory diseases, in cases of thrombosis, cardiac infarction, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, pathological symptoms that are sustained or propagated by angiogenesis, and in tumour therapy.
Abstract:
The instant invention relates to compounds, compositions and methods are provided for prevention and treatment of various forms of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) comprising or using Cilengitide, a cyclic arginine-glycine- aspartic acid containing pentapeptide, and/or pharmaceutically acceptable dervatives, solvates and/or salts thereof. Moreover, various dosing regimens and/or combinations comprising or using Cilengitide and/or pharmaceutically acceptable dervatives, solvates and/or salts thereof are provided, preferably for the treatment of humans in vivo and preferably as well for ex vivo conditioning of organ transplants in order to suppress immune responses and preferably also other adverse effects resulting in GvHD and related inflammatory processes.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a combination therapy for the treatment of tumors and tumor metastases comprising administration of integrin ligands, preferably integrin antagonists, together with co-therapeutic agents or therapy forms that have synergistic efficacy when administered consecutively with said ligands, such as chemotherapeutic agents and or radiation therapy. The therapy results in a synergistic potential increase of the inhibition effect of each individual therapeutic on tumor cell proliferation, yielding more effective treatment than found by administering an individual component alone, concurrently or not in the dosage regime of the present invention.

Abstract:
The invention relates to the novel biphenyl derivatives of the general formula (I), wherein R , R ', R '', R and n are defined as in claim 1. The invention also relates to the stereoisomers and the physiologically acceptable salts or solvates thereof which represent novel integrin ligands, especially of the alphavbeta6 integrin receptor. The novel compounds are suitable for use as medicaments.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a combination therapy for the treatment of tumors metastases comprising administration of anti-angiogenic agents and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) optionally together with other cytotoxic agents, such as interferon gamma (IFNy) orchemotherapeutic agents such as anti-EGFR antibodies. The method and the pharmaceuticalcompositions comprising said agents can result in a synergistic potentiation of the tumor cell proliferation inhibition effect of each individual therapeutic agent, yielding more effective treatment than found by administering an individual component alone.
Abstract:
Novel biphenyl derivatives of the general formula (I) in which R 1 , R 1' , R 1" , R 2 , R 2' , R 3 and n are as defined in Claim 1, their stereoisomers and their physiologically acceptable salts or solvates are novel integrin inhibitors which preferentially inhibit the α v β 6 integrin receptor. The novel compounds can be used, in particular, as medicaments.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a pharmaceutical preparation Cyclo-(Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-NMe-Val) and/or to one of the physiologically safe salts thereof. The invention also relates to at least one chemotherapeutic agent and/or to one of the physiologically safe salts thereof and/or to an angiogenesis inhibitor and/or to one of the physiologically safe salts thereof.
Abstract:
Compounds of formula (I) wherein X, Y, Z, R , R , R and R have the meaning stated in claim 1, with the proviso that at least one element chosen from the group X, Y, Z must be CH2, as well as their physiologically harmless salts, can be used as integrin inhibitors, particularly for prophylaxis and treatment of circulatory diseases, in case of thrombosis, heart infarct, coronary heart diseases, arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, in pathological processes which are maintained or propagated by angiogenesis, and in tumor therapy.
