Abstract: The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated hVR-1, hVR-2, and rVR-2 nucleic acid molecules, which encode novel members of the Capsaicin/Vanilloid receptor family. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing hVR-1, hVR-2, and rVR-2 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which an hVR-1, hVR-2, and rVR-2 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated hVR-1, hVR-2, and rVR-2 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-hVR-1, anti-hVR-2, and anti-rVR-2 antibodies. Diagnostic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a polynucleotide sequence of a novel acylglycerol acyltransferase-like protein MGAT-X1. The invention also provides the human MGAT-X1 associated with the dermatological diseases, urological diseases, muscle-skeleton disorders, hematological diseases, cancer, reproduction disorders, neurological diseases, metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases or gastroenterological diseases. The invention also provides assays for the identification of compounds useful for the modulation of dermatological diseases, urological diseases, muscle-skeleton disorders, hematological diseases, cancer, reproduction disorders, neurological diseases, metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases or gastroenterological diseases for treating of such diseases associated with expression of the MGAT-X1. The invention also features compounds which bind to and/or activate or inhibit the activity of MGAT-X1 as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel solid body forms of mesoprogestin 11?-[4E-(hydroxyiminomethyl)-phenyl]-17?-methoxymethyl-17?-methoxy-estra-4,9-dien-3-one (oxime J 867), particularly a highly pure and stable amorphous or highly crystalline form (ansolvate/anhydrate) of compound J 867. The invention also relates to methods for producing said novel solid body forms and to the use thereof in pharmaceutical compositions. The novel solid body forms are characterized by exhibiting a high degree of stability. The solid body forms of oxime J 867 can, in particular, be used in the area of fertility control and in hormone replacement therapy.

Abstract: The invention relates to substituted arylpyrazolopyridines according to the general formula (I): in which A, B, D, E, Ra, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and q are as defined in the claims, and salts thereof, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said substituted arylpyrazolopyridines, to methods of preparing said substituted arylpyrazolopyridines as well as the use thereof for manufacturing a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of diseases of dysregulated vascular growth or of diseases which are accompanied with dysregulated vascular growth, wherein the compounds effectively interfere with Tie2 signalling.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel 2-heteroarylcarboxamides, processes for their preparation, and their use for producing medicaments for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases and for improving perception, concentration, learning and/or memory.

Abstract: A composition comprises drospirenone as the sole therapeutically active agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an orally administrable preparation comprising a quinolone antibiotic which releases the active compound with a delay.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) a tautomer or stereoisomer thereof, or a salt thereof, wherein ring B and the pyrimidine to which it is fused, R4, R5, R6 and R7 have the meanings as given in the description and the claims, are effective inhibitors of the Pi3K/Akt pathway.

Abstract: This invention is directed to compounds useful as intermediates in the synthesis of lipoxin A4 analogs of the following formulas (I) and (II): wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are described herein. These analogs are useful in treating inflammatory and autoimmune disorders in humans. These analogs are also useful in treating pulmonary or respiratory tract inflammation in humans.
