Abstract:
Among other things, the present invention provides novel compounds capable of effectively inhibiting inflammatory responses that are mediated by G-proteins or GPCRs in neutrophils, macrophages and platelets. In particular, compounds of the present invention act as inhibitors of edema, inhibitors of erythema and inhibitors of MPO (myeloperoxidase), pharmaceutical compositions containing the same compounds and the use thereof for the treatment of diseases that may benefit from edema, erythema and MPO inhibition, such as inflammation (acute or chronic), asthma, autoimmune diseases, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (e.g., emphysema, chronic bronchitis and small airways disease, etc.), inflammatory responses of the immune system, skin diseases (e.g., reducing acute skin irritation for patients suffering from rosacea, atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis), irritable bowel syndrome (e.g., Chron's disease and ulcerative colitis, etc.), and central nervous system disorders (e.g., Parkinson's disease).

Abstract:
Nitrooxyderivative compounds or salts thereof having the following general formula (I): A-(B) b0 -(C) co -NO 2 (I) wherein: c0 is an integer and is 0 or 1, b0 is an integer and is 0 or 1, A = R-T 1 -, wherein R is the radical of formula (II) as defined in the application; B is such that its precursor is selected from aminoacids, hydroxyacids, polyalcohols, compounds containing at least one acid acid function, C is a bivalent radical containing an aliphatic, heterocyclic or aromatic radical.
Abstract:
Compounds of formula (i) and of formula (ii), wherein the symbols have the meaning disclosed in the specification, specifically or selectively modulate α 2B and/or α 2C adrenergic receptors in preference over α 2A adrenergic receptors, and as such are useful for alleviating chronic pain and allodynia and have no or only minimal cardivascular and/or sedatory activity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to biscarbodiimides, thiourea derivatives, urea derivatives, and cross-linked hyaluronan derivatives having at least one intramolecular disulfide bond, and methods of preparation thereof. The invention also includes thiolated hyaluronan derivatives and salts thereof having at least one pendant thiol group or a modified pendant thiol group, and methods of preparation thereof. An example of a modified pendant thiol group is a sulfhydryl group linked to a small molecule such as a bioactive agent, for example a drug or pharmaceutically active moiety. A hyaluronan derivative having a sulfhydryl group linked to a pharmaceutically active moiety is useful as a sustained or controlled release drug delivery vehicle. Compositions containing the hyaluronan derivatives of the invention can reversibly viscosify in vivo or in vitro , in response to mild changes in condition, and are thus useful in ophthalmic surgery and in tissue engineering.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel compounds and formulations thereof which compounds are ligands, e.g., agonists or antagonists, for a metabotropic glutamate receptor or a NAALADase enzyme or both. The present invention also relates to methods of modulating the activity of a metabotropic glutamate receptor or a NAALADase enzyme or both, e.g., in a subject in need thereof, using a compound or formulation of the present invention. The present invention also relates to methods of treating a subject suffering from a chronic or acute disease, malady or condition due at least in part to an abnormality in the activity of an endogenous metabotropic glutamate receptor or a NAALADase enzyme or both, using a compound or formulation of the present invention.
Abstract:
Substituted phenylalanines are provided comprising an hydantoin, urea or 2-hydroxyl, 2-methylpropionyl group, dimers thereof and alkyl, polyfluoroamido and haloarylamino derivatives thereof, as well as radiolabeled derivatives thereof. The compounds bind specifically to the androgen receptor and find use in indications associated with the androgen receptor, such as cell hyperplasia dependent on androgens, hirsutism, acne and androgenetic alopecia.
Abstract:
Disclosed are multibinding compounds which inhibit H /K -ATPase, an enzyme which is involved in the control of acid secretion in the stomach. The multibinding compounds of this invention containing from 2 to 10 ligands covalently attached to one or more linkers. Each ligand is an inhibitor of H /K -ATPase. The multibinding compounds of this invention are useful in the treatment gastroesophageal reflux disease ("GERD").

Abstract:
This invention relates to novel multibinding compounds that bind to the enzyme phosphodiesterase V (PDE V) and modulate its activity. The compounds of this invention comprise 2-10 PDE V modulator (particularly inhibitor) ligands covalently connected by a linker or linkers, wherein the ligands in their monovalent (i.e., unlinked) state bind to a PDE V enzyme. The manner of linking the ligands together is such that the multibinding agents thus formed demonstrate an increased biologic and/or therapeutic effect as compared to the same number of unlinked ligands made available for binding to PDE V. The invention also relates to methods of using such compounds and to methods of preparing them. The compounds of this invention are particularly useful for treating diseases and conditions of mammals that are mediated by PDE V. Accordingly, this invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and an effective amount of a compound of this invention.
