摘要:
Novel tumour selective anti-neoplastic agents are characterized, in that to customary antineoplastic agents are attached one or two very specific unbranched null-hydroxyalkyl, (null-hydroxy)alkenyl, null-(2,3-dihydroxypropyloxy)alkyl or an (null-(2,3-dihydroxypropyloxy))alkenyl groups R2 and R3 with 5 to 30 carbon atoms, forming a tumour selective conjugate as exemplified with the compounds of formulae I, II and III nullnull wherein R1 is a customary pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic leaving group and A is 1,2-dimethylene, 1,3-trim ethylene, 1,2-cyclopentylene or 1,2-cyclohexylene. These compounds as well as their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, ester and prodrug derivatives are valuable chemotherapeutics 1
摘要:
Therapeutic compounds and methods for inhibiting amyloid deposition in a subject, whatever its clinical setting, are described. Amyloid deposition is inhibited by the administration to a subject of an effective amount of a therapeutic compound comprising an anionic group and a carrier molecule, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, such that an interaction between an amyloidogenic protein and a basement membrane constituent is inhibited. Preferred anionic groups are sulfonates and sulfates. Preferred carrier molecules include carbohydrates, polymers, peptides, peptide derivatives, aliphatic groups, alicyclic groups, heterocyclic groups, aromatic groups and combinations thereof.
摘要:
The abuse potential of a bioavailable drug such as an opiate analgesic agent is reduced and its duration of action is extended by converting it to a poorly absorbed ester prodrug or other prodrug derivative prior to formulation. Unlike many existing sustained release formulations of active pharmaceutical agents wherein an active pharmaceutical agent can be released by chewing, crushing, or otherwise breaking tablets or capsule beads containing the active pharmaceutical agent, such mechanical processing of tablets or capsule beads containing a prodrug of this invention neither releases the active drug nor compromises the controlled conversion of prodrug to drug. Moreover, tablets and capsule beads containing prodrugs of this invention or other drugs can be formulated with a sufficient amount of a thickening agent such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose or carboxymethylcellulose to impede inappropriate intravenous and nasal administration of formulations that are not indicated for these modes of administration.
摘要:
The present invention provides an extended release oral dosage form of prodrugs of gabapentin and other GABA analogs, which dosage forms exhibit reduced toxicity. The dosage forms are particularly useful in administering those prodrugs of gabapentin and other GABA analogs that are metabolized to form an aldehyde. The dosage forms of the invention are useful for treating or preventing diseases and/or disorders for which the parent gabapentin or other GABA analog are known to be therapeutically effective.
摘要:
A process for producing new anticancer drugs such that the drugs can be administered in a nontoxic, proto-drug form and, subsequent to a time delay which allows for differential concentration in the targer cancer or invasive tissues or cells, the non-toxic drug is then modified by an activation drug to selectively provide toxic levels of a pharmacologically active agent to the target issue.
摘要:
The present invention provides an extended release oral dosage form of prodrugs of fused GABA analogs of reduced toxicity. The dosage forms are particularly useful in administering those fused GABA analogs that are metabolized to form an aldehyde. The dosage forms of the invention are useful for treating or preventing diseases and/or disorders for which fused GABA analog are known to be therapeutically effective.
摘要:
The present invention describes linking a therapeutic agent to a compound which is known to be naturally concentrated in a tissue affected by, or that is causing, a disease, to create a prodrug for treatment of the disease. Embodiments of the present invention include a new class of carotenoid-linked drugs to treat such blinding retinal disease such as age-related macular degeneration, retinoblastoma, and diabetic macular edema. For example, the present invention comprises a method for the treatment of a disorder of the eye comprising linking a therapeutic agent to a xanthophyll carotenoid to create a prodrug, and administering a therapeutically effective amount of the prodrug to an individual in need of treatment. Provided are prodrugs for treatment of retinoblastoma, cystoid macular edema (CME), exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, or inflammatory disorders.
摘要:
The present invention describes novel nitrosated and/or nitrosylated taxanes, and novel compositions comprising at least one nitrosated and/or nitrosylated taxane, and, optionally, at least one compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide, elevates endogenous levels of endothelium-derived relaxing factor, stimulates endogenous synthesis of nitric oxide or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase and/or at least one therapeutic agent. The present invention also provides novel compositions comprising at least one taxane and at least one compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide, elevates endogenous levels of endothelium-derived relaxing factor, stimulates endogenous synthesis of nitric oxide or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase and/or at least one therapeutic agent. The compounds and compositions of the present invention can also be bound to a matrix. The present invention also provides methods for treating or preventing cardiovascular diseases and disorders, autoimmune diseases, pathological conditions resulting from abnormal cell proliferation, polycystic kidney disease, inflammatory disease, preserving organs and/or tissues or to inhibit wound contraction, particularly the prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment of restenosis, by administering nitrosated and/or nitrosylated taxane or parent taxanes in combination with nitric oxide donors that are capable of releasing nitric oxide or indirectly delivering or transferring nitric oxide to targeted sites under physiological conditions.
摘要:
Compounds according to formula I: T1—L—T2 (I), wherein T1 is a taxoid group, preferably of Formula II: wherein R1 is C6H5; R2 is O; L is a linking group; and T2 is a substituent selected from the group consisting of epipodophyllotoxin, amsacrine, ellipticine, anthracycline antibiotic, mitoxantrone, and colchicine groups, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are provided herein. The compounds are useful in, among other things, treating tumors or cancer in subjects in need thereof, inducing cellular differentiation, and inhibiting cellular mitosis.
