Compounds which are pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, their preparation process and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them are disclosed; these compounds are useful in the treatment of diseases caused by and/or associated with an altered protein kinase activity such as cancer, cell proliferative disorders, Alzheimer's disease, viral infections, auto-immune diseases and neurodegenerative disorders; also disclosed is a process under SPS conditions for preparing the compounds of the invention and chemical libraries comprising a plurality of them.

Pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives active as kinase inhibitors and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them

The present invention is directed to compounds of the formula or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrug, solvate or optical isomer thereof, pharmaceutical compositions containing same and use thereof for treating diseases linked to disregulated cell proliferation or to disregulated protein kinase.

Azaindolylidene derivatives as kinase inhibitors, process for their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them

Water soluble polymeric conjugates of camptothecin consist essentially of N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacryloylamide units linked via a spacer group to a residue of a camptothecin such as irinotecan or its non-soluble metabolite, 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin. The conjugates possess enhance antitumor activity and decreased toxicity with respect to the free drug. A process for their preparation and the pharmaceutical compositions containing them are also described.

Bioactive derivatives of camptothecin

The invention relates to polymeric conjugates of 20-O-&lsqb;glycyl-aminoacyl-glycyl&rsqb;-camptothecins and a process for producing the same.

Polymeric derivatives of camptothecins

The present invention provides anthracycline conjugates with carriers such as monoclonal polyclonal antibodies, proteins or peptides, or other synthetic carriers. These anthracycline conjugates provide pharmaceutical compositions which are useful for treating certain mammalian tumors. The compounds of the present invention have higher potency than anthracyclines, and improved therapeutic efficacy and reduced toxic effects.
