Abstract:
The present invention relates to pharmaceutically acceptable water soluble salts of aldose reductase inhibitors, 2-(8~oxo~7~((5~trifiuromethyl)-I H-benzo[d] imidayol-2-yl)methyl)7,8- dihydropyrazin[2,3-d]pyridazin~5-yl)acetic acid and [4-oxo-(5-trifluoromethyl-benzothaiazol-2- ylmethyl)-3,4-dihydro-phthalazin-I -yl]-acetic acid (also known as zopolrestat), pharmaceutical compositions thereof and methods of treating diabetic complications in mammals comprising administering to mammals these salt and compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel therapeutics with antibacterial activity, processes for their preparation, and pharmaceutical, veterinary and nutritional compositions containing them as active ingredients. The present invention also relates to uses of the novel therapeutics, for example, as medicants or food additives in the treatment of bacterial infections or to aid body mass gain in a subject.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds and methods which may be useful as inhibitors of glycolysis, inhibitors of protein glycosylation, anti-virals, and down-regulators of insulin receptor and IGF- 1 receptor for the treatment or prevention of inflammatory dermatological diseases or proliferative dermatological diseases.
Abstract:
A new class of pseudo-trisaccharide aminoglycosides having an alkyl group at the 5'' position, exhibiting efficient stop codon mutation readthrough activity, low cytotoxicity and high selectivity towards eukaryotic translation systems are provided. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, and uses thereof in the treatment of genetic disorders, as well as processes of preparing these aminoglycosides. The disclosed aminoglycosides can be represented by the general formula I: formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl; and all other variables and features are as described in the specification.
