Abstract:
Pro-drugs of all non-steroidal anti-inf lammatories with free acid function derivatized with an ester group, which have the general structural formula given below (I) where A is: aspirin, diflunisal, benorylate, ibufenac, diclofenac, indomethacin, sulindac, ketorolac, ibuprofen, naproxen, ketoprofen, fenoprofen, flurbiprofen, mefenamic acid, meclof enamic acid, flufenamic acid, niflumic acid, and where in the ester group R can be a sugar (amongst which aldose, or ketose pentose, or esose selected from a group of D- and L- enantioiuers of ribose, glucose, galactose, mannose, arabinose, xilose, allose, altrose, gulose, idose and talose and substituted derivatives thereof, such as glucosamine, galactosamine, N-acetyl glucosamine, N-acetyl galactosamine, N-acetyl ribosamine), a disaccharide, a trisaccharide or an oligosaccharide.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an improved process for the fluoridation of sugar derivatives in which a controlled amount of water is present in the solvent.
Abstract:
Sugar-chain asparagine derivatives having undeca- to tri-saccharides as represented by the general formula (1): (1) [wherein R and R are each independently hydrogen or a group represented by one of the general formulae (2) to (6) set forth in the description; and Q is a biotinyl group or an FITC group]; sugar-chain asparagine derivatives wherein the amino nitrogen of asparagine is modified with a biotinyl group or an FITC group and at least one fucose molecule is bonded to the N-acetyl- glucosamine on the nonreducing end side; microplates to which biotinylated sugar-chain asparagines are bonded; and affinity columns to which biotinylated sugar-chain asparagines are bonded.
Abstract:
Compounds having anti-inflammatory and other activities. The compounds are derived from diterpenes, indol alkaloids, polyacetates, diaminobenzyl alcohols, diacylglycerol and bryostatins.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to compounds that are useful in antagonizing the angiotensin II type 2 (AT 2 ) receptor. More particularly, the invention relates to substituted isoquinoline compounds and their use as AT 2 receptor antagonists. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and their use in modulating the AT 2 receptor and therapies that require modulation of the AT 2 receptor are described.
Abstract:
Certain chemical entities are provided herein. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one chemical entity and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle. Methods of treating patients suffering from certain diseases and disorders responsive to the inhibition of KMO activity are described, which comprise administering to such patients an amount of at least one chemical entity effective to reduce signs or symptoms of the disease or disorder are disclosed. These diseases include neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's disease. Also described are methods of treatment include administering at least one chemical entity as a single active agent or administering at least one chemical entity in combination with one or more other therapeutic agents. Also provided are methods for screening compounds capable of inhibiting KMO activity.
