Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds that modulate neurotransmission by promoting the release of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine and norepinephrine. More particularly, the present invention relates to thio-bridged aryl compounds that are capable of modulating acetylcholine receptors and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds. The compounds disclosed are useful for the treatment of dysfunctions of the central and autonomic nervous systems.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to compounds which are potentiators of metabotropic glutamate receptors, including the mGluR2 receptor, and which are useful in the treatment or prevention of neurological and psychiatric disorders associated with glutamate dysfunction and diseases in which metabotropic glutamate receptors are involved. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and the use of these compounds and compositions in the prevention or treatment of such diseases in which metabotropic glutamate receptors are involved.

Abstract:
Compounds comprising an aza-bicyclic portion and an aromatic portion linked via an optionally oxidized sulphur atom are disclosed. The compounds disclosed are useful for the treatment of dysfunctions of the central and autonomic nervous systems.
Abstract:
Phenyl compounds substituted at the 1-position with a fused bicyclo moeity formed from a five-membered heterocycle fused to a six-membered carbocycle, to a six-membered aryl, or to a six-membered hetaryl, and further optionally substituted at 2 the 3,4 positions, are mGluR5 modulators useful in the treatment of psychiatric and mood disorders such as, for example, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, and panic, as well as in the treatment of pain and other diseases.
