Abrégé

There are described compounds of general formula (I) and isomeric forms thereof wherein n is 0,1,2 or 3, saturated or unsaturated; most preferably at least one of R1 to R5 represents halogen; at least one of R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 is selected from -S-R or -COOR, or two or more Of R1-R5 comprise a linking group such as -S-(CH2)mS-, where m is 1, 2 or 3 and R is selected from alkyl having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl having 3-6 carbon atoms, hydroxy, and aryl having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, such groups being optionally substituted, and when R1 is selected from -S-R, then at least one of R2, R3 and R5 is most preferably selected from halogen; and R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are otherwise the same or different and are selected from hydrogen, halogen, alkyl having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, electron donor groups such as alkoxy having 1-5 carbon atoms or hydroxy, electron acceptor groups selected from cyano, nitro, trifluoroalkyl or amide; alkylamino, benzoyloxy, nitroxy, phenyl or sulpho; and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof. Compounds described have activity on the melanocortin receptors and have application in the treatment of a wide range of inflammatory, arthritic or central nerve regeneration conditions.

Abrégé

There is disclosed the use of N-(2-chloro-3,4-dimethoxybenzylideneamino)guanidine or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof as an agent for use in the inhibition of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Such an agent is likely to be of application in the treatment or prevention of undesired blood vessel formation during tumour growth and/or in inflammatory conditions.

Abrégé

There are described compounds of formula (I) in which R3 to R8 are independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, trihaloalkyl, alkyl having 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 carbon atoms, electron donor groups selected from alkoxy having 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 carbon atoms, trihaloalkoxy, hydroxy or amino, electron acceptor groups selected from cyano, sulphonic, nitro, or amide; R1 is an optionally substituted phenyl, benzyl or cyclohexyl group; R2 is selected from amino, substituted amino or guanidino groups, Z is a saturated or unsaturated C1-5 hydrocarbon chain, and salts thereof. A process for their preparation and compositions containing them are also described. The compounds are either agonists or antagonists of a specific adenosine receptor or a number of adenosine receptors and have usefulness for the treatment of inflammation, arthritic conditions, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, mental disorders, or for inducing central nerve regeneration.
