Abstract: The present invention provides crystalline biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (R)-(6-(1-((4-fluorobenzyl)methylamino)ethylideneamino)-2(R)-hydroxyindan-1-yl)amide hemihydrate, compositions thereof, methods of using the same, processes for making the same, and processes for making intermediates thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of formula (I): which are useful for treating depression, anxiety, and alleviating the symptoms caused by withdrawal or partial withdrawal from the use of tobacco or of nicotine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel sulphonamide derivatives, to processes for their preparation and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them.

Abstract: A method of treating a human patient with a hypercoagulable state or protein C deficiency, which comprises administering activated Protein C and protein C Zymogen.

Abstract: The present invention provides certain monofluoroalkyl derivatives useful for potentiating glutamate receptor function in a mammal and therefore, useful for treating a wide variety of conditions, such as psychiatric and neurological disorders.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a biphenyl compound comprising combining a phenyl boronic acid derivative with an halobenzene derivative in the presence of a suitable additive in a suitable organic solvent with a suitable catalyst and a suitable base.

Abstract: The present invention is directed at a method of processing an aqueous solution of protein C into a state suitable for storage, handling, and recovery. The present invention provides aqueous activated protein C solutions and an improved method of processing such solutions into cryogranules.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treatment of viral hemorrhagic fever with protein C. The claimed invention provides a needed therapy for a serious and debilitating disorder while avoiding complications such as bleeding tendency, toxicity and general side effects of currently available anti-coagulant agents.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treatment of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) with protein C. The claimed invention provides a needed therapy for a potentially serious and debilitating disorder while avoiding complications such as bleeding tendency, toxicity and general side effects of currently available anti-coagulant agents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations of activated protein C. The activated protein C formulations of the present invention are more stable than other formulations of activated protein C and demonstrate fewer degradation products over time.

Abstract: Novel human protein C derivatives are described. These derivatives have increased anti-coagulation activity, resistance to serpin inactivation, and increased sensitivity to thrombin activation compared to wild-type protein C and retain the biological activity of the wild-type human protein C. These derivatives will require either less frequent administration and/or smaller dosage than wild-type human protein C in the treatment of acute coronary syndromes, vascular occlusive disorders, hypercoagulable states, thrombotic disorders and disease states predisposing to thrombosis.

Abstract: The present invention is broadly directed to a method for reducing autodegradation of activated protein C during processing and purification. The present invention provides aqueous activated protein C solutions and an improved method of processing of such solutions, comprising conducting such processing at an ionic strength of greater than 150 mM and at a pH of about 5.5 to less than 6.3.
