| 20120121572 | NEW MEDICINES FOR TOPIC USE BASED ON SULFATED HYALURONIC ACID AS ACTIVATING OR INHIBITING AGENT OF THE CYTOKINE ACTIVITY - The object of the present invention relates to the new and surprising use of sulfated hyaluronic acid (HAS) as regulator agent of the cytokine activity (pro- and anti-inflammatory) and consequently the use of HAS for the preparation of a new medicine for topic use in the prevention and treatment of pathologies associated with the activation and/or deficiency of cytokines of a pro- and anti-inflammatory nature. The Applicant has in fact discovered the exclusive capacity of HAS in modulating the activity of these particular proteins, it has studied the action mechanism and demonstrated the substantial difference between the different sulfated types known in the state of the art, but above all it has demonstrated an unexpectedly high activity of HAS vs different types and strains of Herpes virus, Cytomegalovirus and the virus of vesicular stomatitis. Finally, a further object of the present invention is the use of HAS as a skin absorption promoter of drugs of an anti-inflammatory nature. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120114609 | BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL SUITABLE FOR THE THERAPY OF OSTEOARTHROSIS, LIGAMENT DAMAGE AND FOR THE TREATMENT OF JOINT DISORDERS - The present invention regards a biological material comprising: a) a liquid carrier comprising a viscous solution containing at least one natural and/or semisynthetic polysaccharide, and having a Dynamic viscosity measured at 20° C. and at shear rate of D=350 s | 05-10-2012 |
| 20120114602 | PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF CONJUGATES OF GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANES (GAG) WITH BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE MOLECULES, POLYMERIC CONJUGATES AND RELATIVE USES THEREOF - The present invention relates to a process for the synthesis of conjugates of glycosaminoglycanes (GAG) with biologically active molecules of varying nature, comprising small molecules and macro-molecules. In particular, the present invention relates to the conjugation of hyaluronic acid (HA) and its derivatives with polypeptides and proteins with a biological action, such as, for example, interferons, erythropoietins, growth factors, insulin, cytokines, antibodies and hormones. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20120101059 | Sulphated hyaluronic acids as regulator agents of the cytokine activity - The object of the present invention relates to the new and surprising use of sulfated hyaluronic acid (HAS) as regulator agent of the cytokine activity (pro- and anti-inflammatory) and consequently the use of HAS for the preparation of a new medicine for the prevention and treatment of pathologies associated with the activation and/or deficiency of cytokines of a pro- and anti-inflammatory nature. The Applicant has in fact discovered its exclusive capacity in modulating the activity of these particular proteins, it has studied the action mechanism and demonstrated the substantial difference between the different sulfated types known in the state of the art, but above all it has demonstrated an unexpectedly high activity of HAS vs different types and strains of Herpes virus, HIV, Cytomegalovirus and the virus of vesicular stomatitis. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20110230541 | PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF ROTIGOTINE - A process for the preparation of Rotigotine (I) and of pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which comprises the reductive amination of an amine of formula 6 with the 2-thienylacetic acid-sodium boron hydride complex and which makes use of hydrobromide 5 as an intermediate (II) The process is advantageous from the industrial point of view in that it allows to obtain Rotigotine with high enantiomeric purity starting from optically active 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-6-(S)-N-propylamino-1-methoxy-naphthalene (2), avoiding the use of dangerous reactives, the need for difficult chromatographic separation or the formation of by-products. Furthermore, two novel crystalline forms are disclosed. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110189265 | THERAPEUTIC USE OF NEW PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS CONTAINING ANTITUMORAL DRUGS BOUND TO HYALURONIC ACID IN THE TREATMENT OF NEOPLASIAS - The present invention describes the new use in the oncologic field of bioconjugates as differentiating agents obtained by the conjugation between hyaluronic acid (HA) and a chemotherapeutic product (identified hereafter with the trade-name ONCOFID®) among which, in particular, Irinotecan, Doxorubicin, Paclitaxel, Cis-platinum and 5-Fluorouracyl (5-FU) for treating primary tumors and metastasis. In particular, the biological behaviour is described in terms of action mechanism, efficacy and tolerability of pharmaceutical preparations of derivative of ONCOFID® soluble in water. More specifically, the invention relates to the surprising biological and pharmacological effect demonstrated by formulations based on ONCOFID-S (HA-SN38 conjugates) and ONCOFID-D (HA-Doxorubicin conjugates) in promoting the differentiation of tumoral cells towards a untransformed phenotype, compared with the reference drug Irinotecan (or CPT11 whose active form is represented by SN38) and Doxorubicin. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20100291171 | HYALURONIC ACID DERIVATIVES OBTAINED VIA "CLICK CHEMISTRY" CROSSLINKING - Crosslinked derivatives of polycarboxylated polysaccharides are described, wherein at least one of the polysaccharide chains consists of hyaluronic acid or a derivative thereof, crosslinked by means of reactions of the “click chemistry” type and their use in the field of viscosupplementation, plastic surgery, oncologic and reconstructive surgery and also as matrices for controlled release systems of biologically and/or pharmacologically active molecules and/or macromolecules. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20100204175 | USE OF CONJUGATES OF HYALURONIC ACID IN THE LOCAL TREATMENT OF HYPERPROLIFERATIVE SKIN DISEASES - The use is described of a conjugate between hyaluronic acid or a derivative thereof and antitumoral drugs for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for the topical treatment of hyperproliferative skin diseases. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100197631 | HYALURONIC ACID DERIVATIVES CONTAINING GROUPS ABLE TO RELEASE NO - Disclosed are hyaluronic acid derivatives functionalised with S-nitrosothiol groups of the general formula: wherein HA indicates hyaluronic acid and G indicates a suitable spacer. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20090076257 | Ester Derivatives of Hyaluronic Acid for the Preparation of Hydrogel Materials by Photocuring - The present invention relates to hyaluronic acid ester derivatives, whose carboxylic groups are partially esterified with hydroxy groups of propiophenone derivatives, to the hydrogel materials consisting of the said hyaluronic acid ester derivatives, to their preparation process by photocuring of the hyaluronic acid ester derivatives, and their use in the biomedical, sanitary and surgical fields, and in the medical field as controlled release systems for drugs. | 03-19-2009 |
