A compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, for use in combination with a 5-ASA agent, in the treatment of a disease resulting from pathologic inflammation. The combination of a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof and 5-ASA agent and use of such combination. A kit-of-parts and a pharmaceutical composition comprising such a combination.

Medical treatment for pathologic inflammation

A method for the treatment a disease resulting from spondyloarthritis, such as axial spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis and enteropathic arthritis, by administering, to a mammal in need of such treatment, a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

Treatment of spondyloarthritis

The present invention relates to methods of treating mammals affected by, for example, a hyperproliferative disease such as cancer, by administering a tumor-targeted superantigen and a chemotherapeutic agent, whereby the administration of the tumor-targeted superantigen and chemotherapeutic agent reduce the antibody response and enhance the T cell response. The superantigen, wild-type or modified, is fused to a target-seeking moiety, such as an antibody or an antibody active fragment. The combined administration of a superantigen and a chemotherapeutic agent provides enhanced therapeutic effects in a treated animal.

Treatment of hyperproliferative disease with superantigens in combination with another anticancer agent

Quinoline derivatives

Immune enhancement

Drugs for the treatment of malignant tumors

A soluble antibody conjugate comprising an antibody linked to a structure which is recognized by T-cells and has the ability to direct T-cells to lyse the target cell, which is recognized by the antibody. The conjugate is characterized by the structure being a superantigen. One important mode is a method for the lysis of target cells, wherein the target cells are contacted with a target cell lysis effective amount of the conjugate. The method of lysis is part of a potent treatment regime for cancer, autoimmunity, parasitic infestations and fungal, viral and bacterial infections. The specification also describes modes such as the synthesis of the conjugate and pharmaceutical compositions and their manufacture.

Antibody conjugates

The invention is related to compounds of general formula (I) wherein R is methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl or allyl; R' is methyl, methoxy, fluoro, chloro, bromo, trifluoromethyl, or OCH.sub.x F.sub.y, wherein

The invention is related to compounds of general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R is Me, Et, n-Pr, iso-Pr, n-Bu, iso-Bu, sec.-Bu or allyl; R' is hydrogen, Me, MeO, fluoro, chloro, brorno, CF.sub.3, or OCH.sub.x F.sub.y ; R' is hydrogen or fluoro, with the proviso that R' is fluoro when R' is fluoro; and further when R' and R' are both hydrogen, R is not Me; R.sub.4 is selected from hydrogen and pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic and organic cations; R.sub.5 is selected from MeS, EtS, n-PrS, iso-PrS, MeSO, EtSO, MeSO.sub.2 and EtSO.sub.2 ; wherein x=0-2, y=1-3 with the proviso that x+y=3; and Me is methyl, Et is ethyl, Pr is propsy and Bu is butyl; and any tautomer, optical isomer and racemate thereof. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing a compound of the general formula (I) together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Included are also processes for the preparation of the compounds of formula (I), as well as methods for the treatment of mammals suffering from diseases resulting from autoimmunity and pathological inflammation by administering of a compound having the formula (I) to said mammal.
