Abstract

Compounds of the formula I ##STR1## where one of the radicals R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 is a radical of the formula II --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --A--CH.sub.3 (II) in which A is a covalent bond,--C(O)-- or --C(R.sup.4)(OH)--, are suitable for the production of pharmaceuticals for the modulation of apoptosis. A combination preparation comprising a compound of the formula I and a compound of the formula IV and/or V ##STR2## is suitable for the production of pharmaceuticals for the modulation of apoptosis.
