The synthesis of a series of substituted 6,7-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]purin-9(4H)-ones is described. Several members of the series exhibit enhanced antiallergic and bronchodilator activity and reduced side effects as compared to theophylline. Structure-activity relationships and metabolic considerations are discussed for the series. Analogues substituted with a 4-(4-chlorobenzyl) moiety, such as 33 and 40, shown an optimal balance of antiallergic and bronchodilator activity and are of particular interest. Compound 33 is significantly more potent than theophylline against both metacholine- and antigen-induced bronchospasms, does not affect spontaneous motor activity, and shows minimal cardiovascular effects in the rat.

New pharmaceutical compounds of general formula (I): F-(X)q where q is an integer from 1 to 5, preferably 1; -F is chosen among drugs described in the text, -X is chosen among 4 groups -M, -T, -V and -Y as described in the text.
The compounds of general formula (I) are nitrate prodrugs which can release nitric oxide in vivo in a controlled and selective way and without hypotensive side effects and for this reason they are useful for the preparation of medicines for prevention and treatment of inflammatory, ischemic, degenerative and proliferative diseases of musculoskeletal, tegumental, respiratory, gastrointestinal, genito-urinary and central nervous systems.
Targetable diagnostic and/or therapeutically active agents, e.g. ultrasound contrast agents, comprising a suspension in an aqueous carrier liquid of a reporter comprising gas-containing or gas-generating material, said agent being capable of forming at least two types of binding pairs with a target.

The present disclosure provides a once-daily water-soluble pharmaceutically active formulation for oral administration. In certain embodiments, the composition comprises a water-soluble pharmaceutically active organic compound incorporated into a small particulate, each particulate having a core of the water-soluble pharmaceutically active organic compound or an acceptable salt thereof in reversible association with a pharmaceutically acceptable drug-binding polymer. The core of the composition being surrounded by an insoluble water permeable membrane that is capable of delaying the dissolution of the pharmaceutically active compound therewithin and providing for extended release of the pharmaceutically active compound. In some embodiments, the formulation of the invention are designed to extend release of the pharmaceutically active organic compound for about 3 hours to about 8 hours, thereby enabling preparation of an extended release formulation for any pharmaceutically active compound with a half-life of from about 16 hours to about 21 hours.
