USE OF INDOLOCARBAZOLE DERIVATIVES TO TREAT A PATHOLOGICAL CONDITION OF THE PROSTATE

摘要

The invention relates to novel indolocarbazole derivatives, eg. of formula III (wherein: R<1> is selected from the group consisting of halogen, CH2OCONHR<14> and NHCO2R<14>; R<2> is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and halogen; X is selected from the group consisting of CO2CH3, CH2OH and CONHR<15>; R<14> represents lower alkyl; and R<15> is hydrogen, hydroxy substituted lower alkyl, or aryl; with the proviso that when R<1> = halogen and R<2> = hydrogen, X is neither CO2CH3 nor CH2OH; and with the proviso that when R<1> = R<2> = halogen, X is not CO2CH3; and with the proviso that when R<1> = R<2> = Br, X is not CONHC6H5) which are useful in the treatment of pathological conditions of the prostate gland.
