Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a receptor activated by constitutive receptor activation by a means independent of a ligand and stabilizable in the activated state by a compound such as an endogenous ligand and a drug. SOLUTION: There are provided a cDNA encoding a non-endogenous, constitutively activatable variant human G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) containing various human orphan receptors such as hARE-3 (F313K), a vector, the GPCR protein, and a host cell containing the cDNA, etc. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a membrane-penetrating receptor, more particularly, an endogenous human orphan G protein coupled receptor. SOLUTION: This invention provides a G protein coupled receptor ([GPCR]) encoded by a cDNA comprising a specified base sequence, a plasmid comprising a cDNA comprising a specified base sequence, and a host cell comprising the plasmid. As regards the identification of the human GPCRs, some of the disclosed endogenous human GPCRs are identified according to the reinvestigation of the GenBank database information. The other disclosed endogenous human GPCRs are identified by carrying out the BLAST search of the EST database (dbsest) using specified EST clones as query sequences. Thereafter, a human genome library is screened by using the identified specified EST clones as probes. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel approach for lowering a blood glucose level in a subject and increasing a blood GLP-1 level in the subject. SOLUTION: A combination of a certain amount of a GPR119 agonist with a certain 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-1 level in the subject over that provided by the certain amount of the GPR119 agonist alone or the certain amount of the DPP-IV inhibitor alone is provided. The use of such a combination for treating or preventing diabetes and conditions related thereto or conditions ameliorated by increasing the blood GLP-1 level, and the use of a G protein-coupled receptor for screening GLP-1 secretagogues are also provided.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition and a method for treating or preventing diabetes and conditions related to diabetes and increasing blood GLP-1 level of mammals. SOLUTION: The invention relates to a combination of a definite amount of a GPR119 agonist with a definite 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-1 level in a subject over that provided by the amount of the GPR119 agonist or the amount of the DPP-IV inhibitor alone, and the use of such a combination for treating or preventing diabetes and conditions related to diabetes or conditions ameliorated by increasing a blood GLP-1 level.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide processes and intermediates for the preparation of 3-benzazepines and salts thereof which can be useful as serotonin (5-HT) receptor agonists for the treatment of, for example, central nervous system disorders such as obesity.SOLUTION: Serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmission plays an important role in numerous physiological processes both in health disorders and in psychiatric disorders. For example, 5-HT has been implicated in the regulation of feeding behavior. 5-HT is believed to work by inducing a feeling of fullness, and thereby eating stops and fewer calories are taken.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide crystalline forms of (R)-8-chloro-1-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine hydrochloride.SOLUTION: There are directed to the crystalline forms of (R)-8-chloro-1-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine, compositions containing the same, preparations, and uses thereof. A compound is preferably (R)-8-chloro-1-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine hydrochloride hemihydrate. More preferably, the compound has an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising peaks, in terms of 2θ, at about 13.7° and about 14.9°.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition and a method for treating or preventing diabetes and a condition related to diabetes, and for increasing blood GLP-1 level in mammals.SOLUTION: There is provided a combination of a specific amount of GPR 119 agonist and a specific amount of DPP-IV inhibitor. The combination has a better effect on a decrease in a blood glucose level or an increase in blood GLP-1 level in a subject than in the case of using only a specific amount of GPR 119 agonist or only a specific amount of DPP-IV inhibitor. The combination is therefore provided for treating or preventing diabetes and a condition related to diabetes, and for a condition to be improved with an increase in blood GLP-1 level.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide selective 5HTagonists which safely decrease food intake and body weight, wherein a 5HTreceptor is a validated and well-accepted receptor target for the treatment of obesity and psychiatric disorders.SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a compound represented by Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or hydrate thereof. In the Formula (I), Ris H or Calkyl; Ris Calkyl or the like; Ris H; or Rand Rtogether form -CH-CH-; Rand Rare each independently H or the like; or Rand Rtogether with the atoms to which they are attached can form a 5- or 6-memberd heterocyclic ring having one O atom; each Ris independently Calkyl or the like; and Ris H or Calkyl.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a receptor used for the direct identification of candidate compounds as receptor agonists, inverse agonists or partial agonists. SOLUTION: The invention relates to transmembrane receptors, more particularly to a human G protein-coupled receptor for which the endogenous ligand is unknown (orphan GPCR receptors), and most particularly to mutated (non-endogenous) versions of the human GPCRs for evidence of constitutive activity.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide compounds useful in the prophylaxis or treatment of metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity and complications thereof. SOLUTION: 1,2,3-trisubstituted aryl and heteroaryl derivatives represented by formula (Ia) are modulators for metabolism and bind to GPCR called RUP3 to modulate the activity of GPCR. Further, desirable human RUP3 for use in screening and testing is provided as a specified nucleic acid sequence or as an amino acid sequence corresponding to the nucleic acid sequence.
