6 results about "Urological Disorders" patented technology

This invention relates to pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives of formula (I),that act as modulators of the TRPV4 receptor. The present invention also relates to processes for the preparation of novel pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives of formula (I) and to their use in the treatment of a wide range of diseases, syndromes, and disorders, in particular, for the treatment of inflammation, pain, and urological diseases or disorders.

The present invention relates to stimulators and activators of soluble guanylate cyclase in combination with an inhibitor of neutral endopeptidase and / or angiotensin AII antagonists and the use thereof for the treatment and / or prophylaxis of cardiovascular disorders, for example heart failure with preserved ejection fraction or heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, renal disorders, for example chronic kidney failure, urological disorders, lung disorders, disorders of the central nervous system, for regulation of cerebral perfusion, for example in the event of vascular cerebral states of dementia, for the treatment and / or prophylaxis of fibrotic disorders and other disease symptoms (e.g. end organ damage affecting the brain, kidney or heart).

Biologically active compounds that can be used as photosensitizers for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, particularly for PDT of cancer, infections and other hyperproliferative diseases, fluorescence diagnosis and PDT treatment of a non-tumorous indication such as arthritis, inflammatory diseases, viral or bacterial infections, dermatological, opthamological or urological disorders are provided as well as providing methods to obtain them in pharmaceutical quality. One embodiment consists of a method to synthesize a porphyrin with a defined arrangement of meso-substituents and then converting this porphyrin system to a chlorin system by dihydroxylation or reduction, and if more than one isomer is formed separate them by chromatography either on normal or reversed phase silica. In another embodiment the substituents on the porphyrin are selected to direct the reduction or dihydroxylation to the chlorin so that a certain isomer is selectively formed. Another embodiment is to provide amphiphilic compounds with a higher membrane affinity and increased PDT-efficacy. In other embodiments the nucleophilic substitution on pentafluorophenyl-substituted tetrapyrroles is used to obtain compounds with a high PDT-efficacy. In another embodiment substituents are identified that via their steric and / or electronic influence direct the dihydroxylation or reduction with diimine so that one isomer is favored. Another embodiment consists of formulating the desired tetrapyrrole photosensitizer into a pharmaceutical formulation to be injected into the body avoiding undesirable effects like solubility problems or delayed pharmacokinetics of the tetrapyrrole systems.

Biologically active compounds and their methods of preparation are provided that may be used as photosensitizers for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, particularly for PDT of cancer, infections and other hyperproliferative diseases, fluorescence diagnosis and PDT treatment of non-tumorous indications such as arthritis, inflammatory diseases, viral or bacterial infections, dermatological, otorhinolaryngology disorders, ophthalmological or urological disorders. As the compounds exhibit also toxicity against targets (tumor cells, bacteria, inflammation-related cells) without light these biologically active compounds may also be used for the light-independent treatment of such indications. Embodiments also include methods to synthesize boron dipyrromethene complex structures incorporating a substituted 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl-dipyrromethene (2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyldipyrrin) unit or a substituted 3-nitrophenyl-dipyrromethene (3-nitrophenyl-dipyrrin) unit. Amphiphilic compounds with increased anti-tumour and anti-bacterial efficacy are also provided. Specifically, this is achieved by substitution with bromine atoms and sugar moieties.

The present invention relates to a novel compound and a use thereof for treatment of dysuria, cough and erectile dysfunction. More specifically, the present invention relates to a novel diphenyl ether derivative compound capable of ameliorating and treating dysuria, cough, and erectile dysfunction related thereto by effectively activating a BKCa channel.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a device and a method for treating at least one of hypertension, pulmonary arteries, diabetes, obesity, heart failure, end-stage renal disease, digestive disease, urological disease, cancers, tumors, pain, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by delivering an effective amount of a formulation to a tissue. In embodiments of the present invention, the formulation may include at least one of a gas, a vapor, a liquid, a solution, an emulsion, or a suspensions of one or more ingredients. In embodiments of the present invention, amounts of the formulation and / or energy are effective to injure or damage tissue, nerves, and nerve endings in order to relieve disease symptoms.
