Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of the formula (I), wherein R 1 /R 1’ are hydrogen or methyl; X is -C(O)N(CH 3 )- or -N(CH 3 )C(O)-; and to pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof for the treatment of numerous inflammatory conditions, migraine, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, mediation of the emetic reflex, Parkinson's disease, anxiety, depression, psychosis, motion sickness, induced vomiting, pain, headache, migraine, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, attenuation of morphine withdrawal, cardiovascular changes, oedema, such as oedema caused by thermal injury, chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma/bronchial hyperreactivity and other respiratory diseases including allergic rhinitis, inflammatory diseases of the gut including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, ocular injury and ocular inflammatory diseases, traumatic brain injury, motion sickness, emesis and psychoimmunologic or psychosomatic disorders.
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel combinations comprising a topical anticholinergic drug alone or in combination with topically administered antihistamines, topically or orally administered phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors or topical corticosteroids for the treatment of rhinitis of various origins. It further comprises presentation of these combinations in locally applied formulations and includes various pharmaceutical formulations suitable for topical application, e.g. nasal sprays, nasal drops, emulsions, pastes, creams and gels.
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel physiological substrates of mammalian glutaminyl cyclase (QC, EC 2.3.2.5), new effectors of QC and the use of such effectors and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such effectors for the treatment of diseases that can be treated by modulation of QC-activity, e.g. diseases selected from the group consisting of duodenal cancer with or w/o Heliobacter pylori infections, colorectal cancer, Zolliger-Ellison syndrome, Familial British Dementia and Familial Danish Dementia.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a compound of the formula (I): wherein X = CH 2 or S or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Such compounds and their corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt forms, are useful in treating conditions mediated by DPIV or DPIV-like enzymes, such as arthritis, obesity, immune and autoimmune disorders, allograft transplantation, cancer, neuronal disorders and dermal diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for therapeutically treating mammals, including but not limited to humans, to modulate immune responses via modulation of surface expression of co-stimulatory antigens on T lymphocytes. oral administration of a DP IV inhibitor causes a potent immunosuppressive effect. This immunosuppressive effect of DP IV inhibitors is exerted by an enhancement of CTLA-4 surface expression, with simultaneous inhibition of CD28 surface expression, on T cells. Furthermore, the present invention discloses preparation of a medicament, comprising one or more inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase enzymatic activity, for the treatment of immune disorders such as allograft rejection or autoimmune disease.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a new use of DPIV-inhibitors. The compounds of the present invention, and their corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt forms, are useful in treating conditions mediated by DPIV or DPIV-Iike enzymes, such as immune, autoimmune or central nervous system disorder selected from the group consisting of strokes, tumors, ischemia, Parkinson's disease and migraines. In a more preferred embodiment, the compounds of the present invention are useful for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a double transgenic non-human animal, in particular a transgenic mouse encoding Qpct proteins, which have been implicated in Qpct-related diseases, and Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP). The present invention additionally provides cells and cell lines comprising transgenes encoding for Qpct and APP. The present invention further provides methods and compositions for evaluating agents that affect Qpct, for use in compositions for the treatment of Qpct-related diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of the formula I wherein A, R 1 to R 7 are defined in the description, and to pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, their manufacture, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as medicaments for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases which can be treated with HDL-cholesterol raising agents, such as particularly dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.
Abstract:
The invention relates to novel heterocyclic derivatives as inhibitors of glutaminyl cyclase (QC, EC 2.3.2.5). QC catalyzes the intramolecular cyclization of N-terminal glutamine residues into pyroglutamic acid (5-oxo-prolyl, pGlu*) under liberation of ammonia and the intramolecular cyclization of N-terminal glutamate residues into pyroglutamic acid under liberation of water.
