| 20100075937 | Patient populations and treatment methods - The invention provides, inter alia, methods to treat, e.g., hyperglycemia or diabetes patients having two or more of a BMI of at least 28 or 29, a fasting insulin level of at least 4 μU/mL or at least 6 μU/mL and optionally (i) a serum MCP1 level of at least about 400 pg/mL or at least about 500 pg/mL. The treatment method includes administering 17α-ethynylandrost-5-ene-3β, 7β, 17β-triol and optionally another compound such as metformin or glyburide. Specific embodiments include use of 17α-ethynylandrost-5-ene-3β, 7β, 17β-triol for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia in a patient and a BMI of at least 28 or 29 and optionally hyperglycemia. In these embodiments, the patient will most preferably have a fasting insulin level of at least 4 μU/mL or at least 5 μU/mL. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20090326251 | METHODS FOR PREPARING 17-ALKYNYL-7-HYDROXY STEROIDS AND RELATED COMPOUNDS - The invention relates to processes for preparing 17-alkynyl-7-hydroxy-steroids, such as 17-Ethynyl-10R,13S-dimethyl 2,3,4,7,8R,9S, 10,11,12,13,14S,15,16,17-hexadecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene-3R,7R,17S-triol (also referred to as 17α-ethynyl-androst-5-ene-3β,7β,17β-triol), that are essentially free of process impurities having binding activity at nuclear estrogen receptors. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090291933 | SOLID STATE FORMS OF A PHARMACEUTICAL - The invention provides and describes solid state 17α-ethynyl-androst-5-ene-3β,7β,17β-triol including amorphous and crystalline forms and specific polymorphic forms thereof. Anhydrates and solvates of 17α-ethynyl-androst-5-ene-3β,7β,17β-triol include Form I anhydrate and Form IV and Form V solvates. The invention further relates to solid and suspension formulations containing 17α-ethynyl-androst-5-ene-3β,7β,17β-triol in a described solid state form and use of the formulations to treat hyperglycemic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and type 1 diabetes, among other inflammation related conditions in subjects or human patients. The invention also relates to methods to make liquid formulations from solid state forms of 17α-ethynyl-androst-5-ene-3β,7β,17β-triol and uses of such formulations in treating the described conditions. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20090176752 | Diene Compounds and Formulations - The instant invention provides potent antiandrogen compounds, such as 3β-acetoxyandrost-1,5-diene-17-ethylene ketal and 3β-hydroxyandrost-1,5-diene-17-ethylene ketal, and methods for their use in the prevention and treatment of biological conditions mediated by androgen receptors. Thus, for example, compounds of the invention are useful in the prevention and treatment of prostrate cancer. Furthermore, it has been discovered that compounds of the invention are useful in the prevention and treatment of androgen-independent cancers such as androgen-independent prostrate cancer. Finally, inventive compounds may be used to treat antiandrogen induced withdrawal syndrome. | 07-09-2009 |
