Abstract:
The following description sets forth a process for producing rhein, diacerhein and other diacyl derivatives thereof, which comprises the following steps: treatment of a diphenylketone ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is --OR', --NR'R", --SR', where R' and R" are H, an alkyl or aromatic group; R.sub.2 is H or a protective group, R.sub.3 is --OH or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, with an acid or superacid to give a 1-aminoanthraquinone derivative, diazotisation, replacement of the --NH.sub.2 group by --OH, optional removal of the protective group, and acylation.
Abstract:
A process for preparing aloe-emodin from aloin by oxidizing aloin by treatment with an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of an acid. The aloe-emodin may be used for the production of rhein and diacerein by oxidizing aloe-emodin by treatment with a chromium-free oxidizing medium to obtain rhein and purifying the rhein obtained. The rhein may be acetylated to obtain diacerein.
Abstract:
It is disclosed the use of diacerein or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of psoriasis or diseases associated therewith, such as psoriatic arthritis.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of 1,8-diacetoxy-3-carboxyanthraquinone, also known as diacerein, via aloin acetylation, oxidation of the acetylated product, and purification of the raw diacerein obtained by means of crystallization from 2-methoxyethanol or N,N-dimethylacetamide and optionally by dissolution of the corresponding salt with triethylamine in methylene chloride, followed by removal of the insoluble residue.
Abstract:
A topical ophthalmic formulation in the form of an aqueous solution comprising a cyclosporin, hyaluronic acid or one of its salts, and polysorbate 80 is described.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to aromatic derivatives of formula (I), wherein: R1 is (a), wherein R3 and R4 are selected from between H and OH, provided that R3 and R4 are not simultaneously H, and R2 is H; or R1 and R2 taken together, are (b), wherein R5 is selected from between CH3 and (CH2)5OH, to the iron complexes thereof, and to their use for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for the normalization of iron level.
Abstract:
The present description relates to new anthraquinone-derivatives endowed with inhibitory activity of the serine proteinase enzymes, useful for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, acute respiratory syndrome of adult, and pulmonary emphysema, and to new processes for the preparation of rhein derivatives.
