Title:
USE OF MEK INHIBITORS FOR TREATING INFLAMMATION AND VIRUS INDUCED HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002069960
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of specific compounds for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of inflammatory conditions. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of inhibitors for treating viral infections, particularly to the use of MEK inhibitors, especially MEK1 inhibitors, for prophylaxis and/or treatment of virally induced hemorrhagic fever and/or hemorrhagic shock syndromes, for the treatment of virally induced TNF- PROPORTIONAL mediated diseases, and for regulating and/or inhibiting of virally induced TNF- PROPORTIONAL production. Furthermore, methods for preventing and/or treating of virally induced hemorrhagic fevers and/or hemorrhagic shock syndromes, for regulating and/or inhibiting virally induced TNF- PROPORTIONAL production, and for the treatment of virally induced TNF- PROPORTIONAL mediated diseases are disclosed together with pharmaceutical compositions useful within said methods.
