Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of certain dialkyl fumarates for the preparation of pharmaceutical preparations for use in transplantation medicine or for the therapy of autoimmune diseases and said compositions in the form of micro-tablets or pellets. For this purpose, the dialkyl fumarates may also be used in combination with conventional preparations used in transplantation medicine and immunosuppressive agents, especially cyclosporines.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of the Formula (I), wherein X1 and X2 independently represent O, NH or S; R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group consisting of a C1-C30 hydrocarbyl group, an amino acid bonded via an amide bond or a peptide bonded via an amide bond each having up to 200 amino acids, the conjugated residue X1 or X2 in this case being NH, and hydrogen, both radicals R1 and R2 preferably not being H; and R3 is a residue selected from group consisting of —S—R6, wherein R6 is a C1-C30 hydrocarbyl group, at least one of R1 and R2 not being H when X1 and X2 are oxygen, —S—CH2—CH(NH2)(COOH) (cysteine-S-yl), a homologue or derivative (e.g. N-acetyl cysteine-S-yl) thereof, a peptide having up to 200 amino acids which contains at least one amino acid radical with a thiol group, preferably a cysteine radical, and is bonded via the thio sulfur, preferably via the cysteine sulfur (peptide-S-yl), coenzyme A which is bonded via a thiol group or fragments thereof, acyl carrier protein bonded via a thiol group, and dihydrolipoic acid bonded via a thiol group; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The present invention also relates to the use of these compounds for preparing a drug, drugs containing the same and their use for the therapy of diseases such as autoimmune disease, NF-kappaB mediated diseases, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, neurodermitis, enteris regionalis Crohn, cardiac insufficiency, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and asthma and in transplantation medicine.
Abstract:
Fumaric acid amides of the general formula (I) wherein R1 represents OR3 or a D- or L-amino acid radical —NH—CHR4—COOH bonded via an amide bond, wherein R3 is hydrogen, a straight-chained or branched, optionally substituted C1-24 alkyl radical, a phenyl radical or C6-10 aralkyl radical and R4 is a side chain of a natural or synthetic amino acid and R2 represents a D- or L-amino acid radical —NH—CHR5—COOH bonded via an amide bond or a peptide radical comprising 2 to 100 amino acids bonded via an amide bond, wherein R5 is a side chain of a natural or synthetic amino acid, are used for preparing a drug (1) for the therapy of an autoimmune disease; (2) for use in transplantation medicine; (3) for the therapy of mitochondrial diseases; or (4) for the therapy of NF-kappaB mediated diseases.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of certain fumaric acid monoalkyl esters as salts or a free acid either alone or in combination with a dialkyl fumarate for producing pharmaceutical preparations for use in transplantation medicine, especially for treating, alleviating or suppressing host-versus-graft reactions. For this purpose, the fumaric acid monoalkyl esters may be used in combination with preparations conventionally used in transplantation medicine and immuno suppressives, especially such as cyclosporines.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of one or more salts of fumaric acid monoalkyl esters of the general formula optionally in admixture with dialkyl fumarate of the formula wherein A is a bivalent cation from the series consisting of Ca, Mg, Zn or Fe or a monovalent cation from the series Li, Na or K, respectively, and n denotes the numeral 1 or 2 depending on the type of cation, and, optionally, commonly used pharmaceutical excipients and vehicles for preparing a pharmaceutical composition in the form of micro-tablets or micro-pellets for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis, neurodermatitis, psoriasis and enteritis regionalis Crohn.
Abstract:
According to a first aspect the invention relates to the use of fumaric acid derivatives selected from the group consisting of dialkyl fumarates, monoalkyl hydrogen fumarates, fumaric acid monoalkyl ester salts, fumaric acid monoamides, monoamido fumaric acid salts, fumaric acid diamides, monoalkyl monoamido fumarates, carbocyclic and oxacarbocyclic oligomers of these compounds and mixtures thereof for preparing a drug for the treatment or prevention of cardiac insufficiency, in particular left ventricular insufficiency, myocardial infarction and angina pectoris.According to a second aspect the invention relates to the use of fumaric acid derivatives, selected from the group consisting of dialkyl fumarates, monoalkyl hydrogen fumarates, fumaric acid monoalkyl ester salts, fumaric acid monoamides, monoamido fumaric acid salts, fumaric acid diamides, monoalkyl monoamido fumarates, carbocyclic and oxacarbocyclic oligomers of these compounds and mixtures thereof for preparing a drug for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, especially asthma caused by allergies, infections, analgesics, job conditions or physical effort, mixed forms of asthma, or asthma cardiale.
