Abstract:
The present invention relates to certain disubstituted oxadiazole derivatives of Formula (Ia) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and hydrates thereof, which exhibit useful pharmacological properties, for example, as agonists of the S1P1 receptor. Also provided by the present invention are pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds of the invention, and methods of using the compounds and compositions of the invention in the treatment of S1P1-associated disorders, for example, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, transplant rejection, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, ulcerative colitis, type I diabetes, acne, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, hypertensive nephropathy, glomerulosclerosis, gastritis, polymyositis, thyroiditis, vitiligo, hepatitis, biliary cirrhosis, microbial infections and associated diseases, viral infections and associated diseases, diseases and disorders mediated by lymphocytes, auto immune diseases, inflammatory diseases, and cancer.
Abstract:
An apparatus for manufacturing an internal wound stator includes a winding arbor configured to receive a conductive wire. The apparatus also has a stator loader, and receives a stator having a generally cylindrical shape with an interior opening and having a plurality of axial slots formed therein. The interior dimension of the stator is larger than the exterior dimension of the winding arbor such that the winding arbor and stator may traverse with respect to one another. The apparatus also has a first movable member configured for moving at least one of the winding arbor and the stator. The apparatus also has a second rotating member configured to rotate at least one of the stator and the winding arbor. The conductive wire is introduced through an interior of the winding arbor. The first movable member is configured to move at least one of the winding arbor and the stator relative to one another to wind the conductive wire in a first longitudinal manner and into a first of the plurality of axial slots. The second rotating member is configured to rotate at least one of the first winding arbor or the stator relative to one another to align the wire relative to a second axial slot of the plurality of axial slots. The first movable member is configured to move at least one of the winding arbor and the stator relative to one another to wind the conductive wire in a second opposite longitudinal manner and into the second axial slot.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to certain substituted pyridinyl and pyrimidinyl derivatives of Fomula (Ia) that are modulators of metabolism. Accordingly, compounds of the present invention are useful in the treatment of metabolic- related disorders and complications thereof, such as, diabetes and obesity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to certain 3-phenyl-pyrazole derivatives of Formula (Ia) and pharmaceutical compositions thereof that modulate the activity of the 5-HT 2A serotonin receptor. Compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof are directed to methods useful in the treatment of platelet aggreagation, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, angina, stroke, atrial fibrillation, reducing the risk of blood clot formation, asthma or symptoms thereof, agitation or a symptom, behavioral disorders, drug induced psychosis, excitative psychosis, Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome, manic disorder, organic or NOS psychosis, psychotic disorder, psychosis, acute schizophrenia, chronic schizophrenia, NOS schizophrenia and related disorders, and sleep disorders, sleep disorders, diabetic-related disorders, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy and the like. The present invention also relates to the methods for the treatment of 5-HT 2A serotonin receptor mediated disorders in combination with other pharmaceutical agents administered separately or together.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns combination of an amount of a GPRl 19 agonist with an amount of a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor such that the combination provides an effect in lowering a blood glucose level or in increasing a blood GLP-I level in a subject over that provided by the amount of the GPRl 19 agonist or the amount of the DPP-FV inhibitor alone and the use of such a combination for treating or preventing diabetes and conditions related thereto or conditions ameliorated by increasing a blood GLP-I level. The present invention also relates to the use of a G protein-coupled receptor to screen for GLP-I secretagogues.
Abstract:
Complexes of a biotinylated fluorescent polymer and a biotin binding protein and solid supports coated with the fluorescent polymer complexes are described. The complexes can be used as sensors for detecting biological recognition events (e.g., nucleic acid hybridization reactions or enzymatic induced polypeptide cleavage). Methods of making the complexes and methods of using the complexes for detecting the presence and/or amount of a target analyte in a sample are also described. The target analyte can be an enzyme (e.g., beta-secretase) or a nucleic acid (e.g., a single stranded or double stranded nucleic acid).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to certain fused aryl and heteroaryl derivatives of Formula (I) that are modulators of metabolism. Accordingly, compounds of the present invention are useful in the prophylaxis or treatment of metabolic disorders and complications thereof, such as, diabetes and obesity.
