Abstract: Novel compounds of the structural formula (I) are antagonists and/or inverse agonists of the Cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor and are useful in the treatment, prevention and suppression of diseases mediated by the CB1 receptor. The compounds of the present invention are useful as centrally acting drugs in the treatment of psychosis, memory deficits, cognitive disorders, Alzheimer's disease, migraine, neuropathy, neuro-inflammatory disorders including multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barre syndrome and the inflammatory sequelae of viral encephalitis, cerebral vascular accidents, and head trauma, anxiety disorders, stress, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, movement disorders, and schizophrenia. The compounds are also useful for the treatment of substance abuse disorders, the treatment of obesity or eating disorders, as well as the treatment of asthma, constipation, chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, cirrhosis of the liver, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Abstract: A class of 2,6-diarylpyridazinones of general structural formula I have been identified that exhibit exhibit immunosuppressant activity with human T-lymphocytes, and are useful as an immunosuppressants.

Abstract: Alkylidene macrolides of the general structural Formula I: ##STR1## have been prepared from suitable precursors by derivitization at C-9 or C-22. These macrolide immunosuppressants are useful in a mammalian host for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases and/or the prevention of rejection of foreign organ transplants. In addition, these macrolide immunosuppressants are useful in the topical treatment of inflammatory and hyperproliferative skin diseases and cutaneous manifestations of immunologically-mediated illnesses.

Abstract: Aryl substituted thiophenes 3-ols, its dihydro derivatives, 1-oxide and 1,1-dioxide analogs, as well as aryl substituted furans, are 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors useful in the treatment of inflammation and other leukotriene-mediated diseases.
