Abstract:
Azetidine derivatives of structural formula I are selective inhibitors of stearoyl-coenzyme A delta-9 desaturase (SCD1) relative to other known stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturases. The compounds of the present invention are useful for the prevention and treatment of conditions related to abnormal lipid synthesis and metabolism, including cardiovascular disease; atherosclerosis; obesity; diabetes; neurological disease; metabolic syndrome; insulin resistance; liver steatosis; and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

Abstract:
This invention relates to a class of compounds having the general formula (I) which are cysteine protease inhibitors, including but not limited to, inhibitors of cathepsins K, L, S and B. These compounds are useful for treating diseases in which inhibition of bone resorption is indicated, such as osteoporosis.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a novel class of compounds which are cysteine protease inhibitors, including but not limited to, inhibitors of cathepsins K, L, S and B. These compounds are useful for treating diseases in which inhibition of bone resorption is indicated, such as osteoporosis.

Abstract:
The present invention provides novel lipoglycopeptide compounds which are Type 1 signal peptidase inhibitors (SpsB). Compounds of the present invention are useful for the treatment of various bacterial related infectious diseases, particularly when used as a potentiator of a β-lactam antibiotic such as imipenem and ertapenem. Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for the treatment of bacterial related infections using the compounds described herein, either alone or in combination with a β-lactam antibiotic.
Abstract:
Substituted 2-naphthoic acids of structural formula are effective as antagonists of the biological activity of GPR105 protein. They are useful for the treatment, control or prevention of disorders responsive to antagonism of this receptor, such as diabetes, particularly, Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, lipid disorders, obesity, atherosclerosis, and conditions associated with the Metabolic Syndrome.
