The present invention relates to a bromodomain inhibitor. Provided are a compound represented by general formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, enantiomer, diastereomer, atropisomer, racemate, polymorph, solvate, or isotopically labeled compound (including deuterium substitution) thereof, a preparation method of the same, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, and a pharmaceutical use thereof. ##STR00001##

The invention provides novel compositions and compounds that inhibit CatSper channel activity, that preferentially inhibits sperm hyperactivity over sperm motility, or both. The compounds of the invention are useful as contraceptive agents that may be adminstered to males, females, or concurrently to both sexual partners. The invention further provides methods of conducting drug discovery business and of conducting a reproductive medicine business. The invention also provides methods of identifying compounds that modulate sperm hypermotility.

Provided are compositions and methods for preventing premature follicle activation and loss induced by transplantation of ovaries or tissues derived from ovaries, thereby preserving fertility in a subject.

Described herein are synthetic progestogens, such as 6β,7β:15β,16β-Dimethylene-3-oxo-17α-pregn-4-ene-21,17-carbolactone, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same. Also described are methods of use.

Substituted pyrimidinedione compounds and uses thereof, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, which can be used as gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor antagonists and a method for preparing such compounds and pharmaceutical compositions and their uses in the prevention or treatment of sex hormone dependent diseases including but not limited to prostate cancer, endometriosis, hysteromyoma, precocious puberty and other diseases.

The present invention relates to a medicament in the form of daily units, which contain an active ingredient combination consisting of a hormone combination with contraceptive action consisting of at least one oestrogen selected from the group consisting of estradiol and ethinyl estradiol and at least one gestagen selected from the group consisting of chlormadinone acetate, 3-β-OH-chlormadinone acetate, 3-α-OH-chlormadinone acetate, 3-α-acetoxy-chlormadinone acetate and 3-β-acetoxy-chlormadinone acetate, and at least one insulin sensitiser and which are combined to provide a dosage form with daily units which only contain an insulin sensitiser as the sole active ingredient, and to the use of this dosage form for preventing or treating pathological disorders caused by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and for simultaneous contraception.

The process comprises combining prepared β-cyclodextrin solution and prepared ethinyl estradiol solution, then removing the solvent by spray-drying for obtaining an ethinyl estradiol β-cyclodextrin complex. The obtainable amorphous ethinyl estradiol β-cyclodextrin complex is suitable for use in pharmaceutical compositions and formulations comprising it.

An intrauterine device having at least one first pharmaceutically active ingredient and at least one first layer made of at least a first polymeric material, wherein between about 10 and about 60 v/v % of at least one particulate material is dispersed and/or incorporated in the first polymeric material. The presence of the particulate material will reduce the porosity of the polymer or otherwise obstruct the diffusion of the pharmaceutically active ingredient being released, thereby slowing its rate of release. In this way, it is possible to regulate the release rate and/or initial burst of the device, simply by adjusting the amount of particles/particulate material in the first layer, instead of having to adapt the size of the device to the desired release pattern, which requires expensive changes in production equipment and manufacturing processes.

Nonhormonal unisex contraceptive products, compositions, formulations and methods of use comprise an effective amount of a targeted mild mitochondria uncoupler.
