Abstract:
The use of substances capable of inhibiting one or more enzymes of the histone deacetylase family (histone deacetylase inhibitors) for the therapeutic treatment of Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative syndromes (polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia or idiopathic myelofibrosis) is described. The dosage of the above-mentioned substances is significantly lower than that normally used for the care of other tumour syndromes and may be from 10 to 150 mg/day/patient.
Abstract:
Method of treating Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative syndromes in a patient suffering therefrom by administering to the patient diethyl-[6-(4-hydroxycarbamoyl-phenylcarbamoyloxymethyl)-naphthalen-2-yl-methyl]-ammonium chloride, or other pharmaceutically acceptable salts and/or solvates, in a daily dosage amount of from 50 to 100 mg per patient.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to new benzo-N-hydroxy amide compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, isomers and prodrugs thereof, which show a significant inhibitory activity on the proliferation of tumor cells and specifically of cancer stem cells.
Abstract:
Physically and chemically stable oral liquid formulations of Givinostat (Diethyl-[6-(4-hydroxycarbamoyl-phenylcarbamoyloxymethyl)-naphthalen-2-yl-methyl]-ammonium chloride) are disclosed, together with methods for the preparation thereof. Such oral formulations are in the form of aqueous suspensions and contain Givinostat and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts and/or derivatives thereof, at least a wetting agent and/or at least a density-imparting agent. Such formulations are suitable for oral administration for systemic therapeutic action.
