Abstract:
The present invention provides small molecule inhibitors of BMP signaling and compositions and methods for inhibiting BMP signaling. These compounds and compositions may be used to modulate ceil growth, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis, and thus may be useful for treating diseases or conditions associated with BMP signaling, including inflammation, cardiovascujar disease, hematological disease, cancer, and bone disorders, as well as for modulating cellular differentiation and/or proliferation. These compounds and compositions may also be used to reduce circulating levels of ApoB- i 00 or LDL and treat or prevent acquired or congenital hypercholesterolemia or hyperlipoproteinemia; diseases, disorders, or syndromes associated with defects in lipid absorption or metabolism; or diseases, disorders, or syndromes caused by hyperlipidemia.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to orexin receptor antagonists, pharmaceutical compositi comprising the antagonists, methods of making the antagonists, their use for the modulation of the orexin receptor, and to use of the antagonists as medicaments, in particular for treating diseases, disorders, or conditions mediated by orexin receptor activity. More specifically, there is provided a compound of Formula (I) including salts thereof, polymorphs, and isomers thereof (including optical, geometric and tautomeric isomers) as defined herein and isotopically-labelled compounds of Formula (I).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a silyl-containing polymer that is used, together with a tackifying resin to form an adhesive composition capable of storing and delivering drugs to the skin of a user. Typically the composition is formed into a patch which shows excellent adhesion to the skin even when drugs and other additives are dissolved into the composition.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of treating a disease or disorder characterised by increased stress hormone levels and/or decreased androgen hormone levels in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound represented by formula (I): wherein n is 1 or 3; R is hydrogen or --C(O)N(R a )(R b ) wherein R a and R b are independently --(C 1 -C 4 ) alkyl, or --(C 1 -C 4 ) alkyl-(C 5 -C 7 ) aryl, wherein each of R a and R b is optionally substituted by --(C 1 -C 4 ) alkoxy; R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 , are independently hydrogen, halogen, cyano or --(C 6 -C 10 ) aryl, wherein said --(C 6 -C 10 ) aryl is optionally substituted by halogen, with the proviso that no more than one of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 is hydrogen; and R 4 and R 5 are hydrogen; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Abstract:
A presente invenção situa-se nos campos da química, farmácia, biotecnologia e medicina. Mais especificamente, a presente invenção descreve um composto, seu uso, um intermediário de síntese na preparação de compostos de interesse farmacêutico, uso do composto para preparar um ligante de interesse diagnóstico e/ou terapêutico, o uso para preparar medicamento modulador do metabolismo ou um medicamento neuromodulador, uma composição farmacêutica contendo o referido composto peptídico e um método terapêutico. O composto da invenção se liga a e/ou modula a atividade de receptores canabinóides (CB), especialmente CB1 e/ou CB2, e/ou receptores muscarínicos e se mostrou surpreendentemente útil para a modulação dos respectivos sistemas. A composição da invenção é útil para a modulação de função metabólica e/ou para neuromodulação. Em uma concretização, a administração oral do composto da invenção a um mamífero proporciona excelente resultado neuroprotetor e anticonvulsivante, que entre outras vantagens e efeitos técnicos não possui os inconvenientes decorrentes do uso de substâncias canabinóides – como o Canabidiol - e proporciona efeito terapêutico mais intenso, em menor dosagem e com menos efeito colaterais.
