Abstract:
The present invention relates to an enriched plant extract containing a mixture of two compounds, obtained from the leaves of the plant Vitex negundo, used for the treatment of proliferative disorders such as cancer. The invention also relates to a compound of formula (1) : The compound of formula (1) can be isolated from the enriched extract and has antiproliferative activity. The present invention further relates to a herbal composition including enriched extract of leaves of Vitex negundo containing the mixture of two compounds as main ingredient for the treatment of proliferative disorders such as cancer. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition including the compound of formula (1), for the treatment of proliferative disorders such as cancer. The invention further relates to the method of treatment of proliferative disorders such as cancer, by adapting the compositions in mammals, in need thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds and derivatives thereof, their synthesis, and their use as estrogen receptor modulators. The compounds of the instant invention are ligands for estrogen receptors and as such may be useful for treatment or prevention of a variety of conditions related to estrogen functioning including: bone loss, bone fractures, osteoporosis, metastatic bone disease, Paget’s disease, periodontal disease, cartilage degeneration, endometriosis, uterine fibroid disease, hot flashes, increased levels of LDL cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, impairment of cognitive functioning, cerebral degenerative disorders, restenosis, gynecomastia, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, obesity, incontinence, inflammation, inflammatory bowel disease and cancer, in particular of the breast, uterus and prostate.
Abstract:
The instant invention provides potent antiandrogen compounds, such as 3beta -acetoxyandrost-1,5-diene-17-ethylene ketal and 3beta-hydroxyandrost-1, 5-diene-17ethylene ketal, and methods for their use in the prevention and treatment of biological conditions mediated by androgen receptors. Thus, for example, compounds of the invention are useful in the prevention and treatment of prostrate cancer. Furthermore, it has been discovered that compounds of the invention are useful in the prevention and treatment of androgen-independent cancers such as androgen-independent prostrate cancer. Finally, inventive compounds may be used to treat antiandrogen induced withdrawal syndrome.
Abstract:
Described are drug formulations that increase regional delivery of the drugs to cells. Methods for reversibly increasing the hydrophobicity of a drug through hydrolytically labile attachment of a hydrophobic moiety and methods for delivering the modified drug to cells is described. Hydrophobic modification increases drag delivery, while lability minimizes entry of the drug into, non-target cells.
Abstract:
Dialkyltriazen-tragende Östrogene und Antiöstrogene eignen sich als Chemotherapeutika zur Behandlung von Karzinomen der Sexualorgane bei Menschen und Tieren.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a antisolvent solidification process wherein a liquid medium comprising at least one organic or inorganic compound which is to be solidified is forced through a membrane into one or more antisolvents, or wherein one or more antisolvents are forced through a membrane into a liquid medium comprising at least one organic or inorganic compound which is to be solidified, yielding a composition comprising solid particles comprising said organic and/or inorganic compound(s).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to analogs of estradiol, which, in their most preferred embodiment, act as locally active estrogens without significant systemic action. A series of 15alpha-estradiol ester compounds is presented which exhibit excellent biological activity for use in pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of symptomology associated with menopause. The present invention is therefore directed to compounds according to the structure: where X is , R is H, a C1 to C5 alkyl group, optionally substituted with at least one halogen group, such as CH2CH2F, or other group (e.g., CH2CHF2, CH2CF3 or CF3 group); and m is from 0-5, preferably from 0-2.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a new synthetic pathway for the production of precursors for the production of compounds having general formula (8,10,12). During said synthesis, compounds of general formal (4,B) are produced in a microbiological reaction. The meanings of radicals R , R , R , R , R and R and group U-V-W-X-Y-Z are defined in the patent claims.
