Abstract:
There is provided novel compounds capable of modulating the G-protein-coupled receptor GPR40, compositions comprising the compounds, and methods for their use for controlling insulin levels in vivo and for the treatment of conditions such as type Il diabetes, hypertension, ketoacidosis, obesity, glucose intolerance, and hypercholesterolemia and related disorders associated with abnormally high or low plasma lipoprotein, triglyceride or glucose levels.
Abstract:
There are described compounds of formula 1, in which Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf and Rg, which may be the same or different, each represent hydrogen, amino, hydroxy, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, halogen, acyl, alkenyl, alkyl, or alkoxy substituted by phenyl,
Rh is hydrogen, alkyl or -COOH. X is a hydrocarbon chain containing from 2 to 10 carbon atoms and optionally substituted by a hydroxy group, A has no significance or represents Y, OY, or SY and Y represents a C 1 to 4 hydrocarbon chain which is optionally substituted by alkyl C 1 to 4, E and G, which may be the same or different, each represent -0-, -S- or -CH 2 -, provided that at least one of E and G is -0- or -S-, L, together with the carbon atoms to which it is attached, forms a benzene, furan, thiophene, indole, or pyran-2-one ring,
and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to new compounds of formula (I) and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them:
The use of such compounds for the treatment of cancer and other diseases related to altered angiogenesis, such as arthritic pathology, diabetic retinopathy, psoriasis and chronic inflammatory disease, is also within the scope of the present invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to new, efficient processes for the preparation of 5-(2-oxazolylalkylthio)-2-arylacetylaminothiazole compounds of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R?1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12, R13¿ and X are as defined in the specification. Compounds of formula (I) are novel, potent inhibitors of cyclin dependent kinases (cdks). The present invention also concerns a new process for the preparation of formylarylacetates and formylarylacetic acids.
Abstract:
Monoterpenes of the formula: wherein X and Y are independently -CHO, -CO₂H or -CH₂OR, R being hydrogen or tetrahydropyranyl have been isolated from agriculturally harmful acarids and then identified. They have fragrance of citrus-note and are bactericidally active against bacteria which may cause crop injury. In addition, they are the first sex pheromones to be isolated from the acarids. A composition containing said monoterpenes and the use of said monoterpenes or of the composition as bactericide and/or sex pheromone is also disclosed.
