Abstract:
Tetrahydro-pyrazolo-pyridine thioether compounds are described, which are useful as cathepsin S modulators. Such compounds may be used in pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the treatment of disease states, disorders, and conditions mediated by cathepsin S activity, such as psoriasis, pain, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to novel processes for the preparation of cyclopropyl-amide derivatives, useful for the treatment of disorders and conditions mediated by the histamine receptor.
Abstract:
Weight loss was noted in nude mice treated with cerulenin, a non-competitive inhibitor of FAS. Sustained reduction of adipocyte mass in humans without toxicity would significantly impact disease prevention worldwide. Aside from psychological and self-esteem improvement, weight loss via reduction of adipocyte mass may: (1) ameliorate hyperglycemia associated with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus thereby reducing diabetic complications such as arterial disease, blindness, cataracts, etc., (2) reduce hypertension, (3) reduce risk of coronary artery vascular disease and stroke, and (4) reduce the risk of other complications of massive obesity such as osteoarthritis, surgical complications, etc. There is also potential use in livestock and poultry to reduce the saturated fat content of meat products. Therefore FAS inhibitors are disclosed herein as novel agents for weight reduction. A family of compounds ( gamma -substituted- alpha -methylene- beta -carboxy- gamma -butyrolactones) whose synthesis was based on the cerulenin motif is shown herein to inhibit fatty acid synthesis, inhibit growth in certain susceptible tumor cells, and induce weight loss.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Thiazolopyridin-2-yloxy-phenyl and thiazolopyrazin-2-yloxy-phenyl amine compounds are described, which are useful as LTA4 hydrolase (LTA4H) modulators. Such compounds may be used in pharmaceutical compositions and methods for modulation of LTA4H and for the treatment of disease states, disorders, and conditions mediated by LTA4 hydrolase activity.
Abstract:
Method of making carbon-linked tetrahydro-pyrazolo-pyridine compounds of the following Formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof: comprising reacting a compound of formula (IX): with a compound of formula (X): to form a compound of Formula (I); wherein: R 1 and R 7 taken together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a morpholine ring, unsubstituted or substituted with one or two methyl substituents; R 3 is H or OH; R 4 is -SO 2 CH 3 , -CONH 2 , or -COCONH 2 ; R 5 is H or methyl; R 6 is a benzyl group, unsubstituted or substituted with one or two substituents independently selected from the group consisting of C 1-4 alkyl, CF 3 , halo, OH, -OC 1-4 alkyl, -OCF 3 , -OCHF 2 , NR dd R ee , -CO 2 C 1-4 alkyl, -SC 1-4 alkyl, and -SO 2 C 1-4 alkyl; where R dd and R ee are each independently H or C 1-4 alkyl; R 7 is H, fluoro, or chloro; and LG 1 is iodide, bromide, or trifluoromethanesulfonate. Such compounds may be used in pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the treatment of disease states, disorders, and conditions mediated by cathepsin S activity, such as psoriasis, pain, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
