Abstract: The present disclosure provides therapeutic agents including those of the formula: wherein the variables are defined herein. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions, kits and articles of manufacture comprising such therapeutic agents. Methods of using the therapeutic agents are also provided. The present disclosure further provides combinations of a VLA-4 inhibitor and an agent which interacts with a chemokine receptor, and methods of use thereof. In some embodiments, the disclosed combinations may be used in a method of mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells. In some embodiments, the disclosed methods may be used in the treatment of a condition which requires the collection of hematopoietic stem cells for transfusions or in chemotherapy. The present disclosure further provides methods of treating a patient comprising administering an agent which interacts with a chemokine such as G-CSF, plerixafor, or Gro-? and VLA-4 inhibitors.

Abstract: This invention is directed generally to substituted pyridinone and pyrimidinone compounds that generally inhibit p38 kinase, TNF, and/or cyclooxyge?ase activity. Such substituted pyridinone and pyrimidinone compounds include compounds generally corresponding in structure to the following formula: wherein Z, n, R1, R2a, R2b, R2c, R2d, R2e, R3a, R3b, R3c, R3d, R4, R5, R6, R7a, R7b, R7c, R7d and R7e are as defined in this specification. This invention also is directed to compositions of such substituted pyridinones and pyrimidinones (particularly pharmaceutical compositions), and methods for treating disorders (typically pathological disorders) associated with p38 kinase activity, TNF activity, and/or cyclooxygenase-2 activity.

Abstract: Tricyclic nitrogen containing compounds, having central nervous system activity of the following structural formula: ##STR1## and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 are independently hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl, C.sub.3-10 cycloalkyl, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are joined to form a C.sub.3-7 cyclic amine which can contain additional heteroatoms; X is hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl, halogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, cyano, carboxamide, carboxyl, or carboalkoxyl; A is SO.sub.2, N, CH, CH.sub.2, CHCH.sub.3, C=O, C=S, C-SCH.sub.3, C=NH, C-NH.sub.2, C-NHCH.sub.3, CNHCOOCH.sub.3, or C-NHCN. B is CH.sub.2, CH, C=O, N, NH or N-CH.sub.3 ; n is 0 or 1; and D is CH, CH.sub.2, C=O, 0, N, NH or N-CH.sub.3. These new compounds are suitable for treating schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, anxiety, depression or as compounds for lowering blood pressure in animal or human hosts.
