Abstract:
The invention provides novel imidazole compounds that inhibit the activity of kinesin spindle protein (KSP, also called Eg5). Inhibitors of KSP can reduce undesired cellular proliferation and provide other therapeutic effects. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions containing these novel compounds, and methods of using the novel KSP inhibitors and their pharmaceutical compositions to treat various types of cancers. The compounds, compositions and methods of the invention are especially useful for treating certain classes of cancers that are resistant to conventional drug treatments, because such cancers are shown to remain sensitive to the compounds of the invention.
Abstract:
A method for delivering a melanocortin-4 receptor agonist to a mammalian subject, includes administering the melanocortin-4 receptor agonist to a tissue inside the nasal cavity or sinuses of the mammalian subject. In some instances, the melanocortin-4 receptor agonist includes a guanidine functional group.
Abstract:
The present invention provides triazole compounds of Formula (I) : as further described herein. The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I), and a method of treating a disorder mediated, at least in part, by KSP in a mammalian patient comprising administering to a mammalian patient in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I).
Abstract:
Compounds having he general structure I are provided. X and Y are independently selected from the group consisting of CH 2 , N, NR 9 , C=O, C=S, S=O, SO 2 , S, O, (CR 6 R 7 ) n , C(=O)-(CR 6 R 7 ) n , and C(=S)-(CR 6 R 7 ) n , where n is 1, 2, or 3. W is selected from the group consisting of (formula I) and L is selected from the group consisting of N, O, S=O, SO 2 , C(O), NC(O), NC(S), OC(O), OC(S), C(NR 10 ), C(NOR 10 ), and a covalent bond. Z 1 , Z 2 , and Z 3 are independently selected from the group consisting of substituted carbon and nitrogen. Compounds of formula I are agonists of the melanocortin-4 receptor ("MC-4r2) and therefore may have useful properties for controlling diseases related to MC-4r action in humans, such as obesity and type II diabetes.

Abstract:
A new human hypothalmic receptor has been identified, and the amino acid and nucleotide sequence of the receptor are provided. The nucleotide sequence is useful to construct expression cassettes and vectors to produce host cells which are capable of expressing the receptor, its mutants, fragments, or fusions. Such polypeptides are useful for identifying new agonists and antagonists.
