Abstract:
The present invention is directed at substituted heteroaryl- and phenylsulfamoyl compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and the use of such compounds as peroxisome proliferator activator receptor (PPAR) agonists. PPAR alpha activators, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and the use of such compounds to elevate certain plasma lipid levels, including high density lipoprotein-cholesterol and to lower certain other plasma lipid levels, such as LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides and accordingly to treat diseases which are exacerbated by low levels of HDL cholesterol and/or high levels of LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides, such as atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, in mammals, including humans. The compounds are also useful for the treatment of negative energy balance (NEB) and associated diseases in ruminants.
Abstract:
αβ-Unsaturated sulfoxides of Formula I: (I) are useful as antiproliferative agents including, for example, anticancer agents, and as radioprotective and chemoprotective agents.
Abstract:
This invention discloses compounds that alter PPAR activity. The invention also discloses pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising the compounds or their salts, and methods of using them as therapeutic agents for treating or preventing hyperlipidemia and hypercholesteremia in a mammal. The present invention also discloses methods for making the disclosed compounds.
Abstract:
Selective PDE3B inhibitors, including compounds of the general structural formula (I), and use of the selective PDE3B inhibitors and salts and solvates thereof as therapeutic agents, are disclosed.
Abstract:
This invention generally relates to nanocrystal compounds, and linker arm for nanocrystal compounds that attach the nanocrystals to the organic compounds. The nanocrystal compound comprises a nanocrystal, linker arm, and organic compound. Preferably, the organic compound is a biologically active compound that can provide a fluorescent sensor. Preferably, the linker arm is a carbon chain with an attachment point for the nanocrystal and an attachment point for the organic compound. Specifically, the nanocrystal is attached to the linker arm through a R3 group and the organic compound is attached to the linker arm through a R2 group. R2 is a bond or selected from the group consisting of carbonyl, O, NH, S, CONH, COO, S, C1-10 alkyl, carbamate, and thiocarbamate. R3 is selected from the group consisting of: SH, O(CH2(n)O)nSH, NH(CH2(n)O)nSH, NH(CH2(n)NH)SH, S(CH2(n)O)nSH, S(CH2(n)S)SH, anda polyether chain. n is 1-10. S is attached to the nanocrystal.
