Abstract:
The present invention is directed to guanidine derivatives as inhibitors of transient receptor potential canonical channels (TRPC channels), in particular TRPC3 and/or TRPC6 and/or TRPC7 activity, more particularly TRPC6 activity. Also provided herein are processes for preparing compounds described herein, intermediates used in their synthesis, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods for treating or preventing diseases, conditions and/or disorders mediated by TRPC channels (Formula (I)).
Abstract:
Provided are compositions for inhibiting a biological activity of an aldoketo reductase family 1, member C3 (AKR1 C3) polypeptide. In some embodiments, the compositions are indomethacin derivatives that are AKR1 C3-specific inhibitors. Also provided are methods for producing disclosed indomethacin derivatives that substantially lack cyclooxygenase inhibitory activity but that have AKR1C3 inhibitory activity, methods for inhibiting AKR1C3 polypeptide biological activities, and methods for treating prostate tumors in subjects.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an indole derivative. The indole derivative according to the present invention effectively inhibits the activity of diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) which induces metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, fatty liver and the like in lipid metabolism, thereby effectively regulating lipid metabolism and energy metabolism, and thus can be useful in pharmaceutical compositions for preventing or treating metabolic diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for the synthesis of ß 2 -amino acids. The method also provides methods yielding a-substituted ß-amino aldehydes and ß-substituted γ-amino alcohols. The present method according to this invention allows for increased yield and easier purification using minimal chromatography or crystallization. The methods described herein are based on an aldehyde aminomethylation which involves a Mannich reaction between an aldehyde and a formaldehyde-derived N,O-acetal (iminium precursor) and a catalyst, such as, for example, L-proline or a pyrrolidine. The invention allows for large scale, commercial preparation of ß 2 -amino acids.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel bicyclic benzamide derivatives having pharmacological activity, processes for their preparation, to compositions containing them and to their use in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
