Abstract: The present invention relates to benzazepine derivatives and their use as &agr;v integrin receptor antagonists. More particularly, the compounds of the present invention are antagonists of the integrin receptors &agr;v&bgr;3, &agr;v&bgr;5, and/or &agr;v&bgr;6 and are useful for inhibiting bone resorption, treating and preventing osteoporosis, and inhibiting vascular restenosis, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, inflammation, wound healing, viral disease, tumor growth, and metastasis.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are small molecule, non-peptidyl inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases, and methods for their use. The instant inhibitors are based on a 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one nucleus. Methods are provided for inhibition of specific protein tyrosine kinases, for example pp60.sup.c-src. Methods are further provided for the use of these inhibitors in situations where the inhibition of a protein tyrosine kinase is indicated, for example, in the treatment of certain diseases in mammals, including humans.

Abstract: The present invention relates to certain substituted oxadiazole, thiadiazole, and triazoles, in particular those including a cycloheptane structure, that are useful as serine protease inhibitors, including inhibitors for human neutrophil elastase. Compounds of the invention are useful in treating conditions such as adult respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, and multiple organ failure.

Abstract: The present invention makes available novel compounds represented by the general formula ##STR1## wherein Y represents a phosphate analog. Which compounds are useful for inhibiting an interaction between a protein containing an SH2 domain and a phophotyrosine-containing polypeptide.
