Abstract: Provided are multiplexed methods for characterizing binding of a test compound to different receptor target molecules using mass spectroscopy techniques. The methods employ receptor molecules that have different functions or found in different tissues, such as cerebral cortex, cerebellum, ventricular and hepatic membrane preparations. The methods enable determination of undesirable off-target binding of a test compound. The methods comprise incubation of a heterologous mixture of different receptor target molecules with ligands (known binders), and a test compound. Various wells contain different amounts of molecules for use in construction of concentration curves. Next, unbound ligands are separated from the well contents. Next, ligands that were bound to the receptors are separated. An LC/ESI-MS/MS method may be used to reduce irrelevant mass spectroscopy peaks.

Abstract: The present invention concerns novel compounds, their preparation and their uses, therapeutic uses in particular. More specifically it concerns derivative compounds having at least two aromatic cycles, their preparation and their uses, in particular in the area of human or animal health. These compounds have an affinity for the biological receptors of neuropeptide Y, NPY, present in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The compounds of the invention are preferably NPY antagonists, and more particularly antagonists of sub-type NPY Y1, and can therefore be used for the therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of any disorder involving NPY. The present invention also concerns pharmaceutical compositions containing said compounds, their preparation and their uses, as well as treatment methods using said compounds.

Abstract: Pyrrolizine compounds having the formula (I), or pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof, are effective in treating inflammatory or immune diseases, where A is a four- to seven-membered saturated ring, K is O or S, and R1, R2, R3 n, and M are defined in the specification.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compounds, the preparation and use, particularly therapeutic, thereof. More specifically, it relates to compounds derived from aryl carbamates, the preparation and use thereof, particularly in the field of human and animal health. The compounds according to the invention are preferably 5-HT4 serotoninergic receptor ligands and can therefore be used in the therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of any disorder involving a 5-HT4 receptor. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, the preparation and use thereof and treatment methods using said compounds.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compounds having the formula (I): useful in treating inflammatory and immune diseases, in which K and L are independently, O or S; Q is —C(?O)— or optionally substituted C1-6alkylene; Ar is optionally-substituted aryl or heteroaryl; J1, J2, J3 and Y are selected so that ring A is a five-to-six membered optionally-substituted cycloalkenyl or heterocyclo ring having 0 to 2 nitrogen heteroatoms; R1 is N or C(R9); and R2, and R3, are as defined in the specification.

Abstract: Compounds having the formula (I), and pharmaceutically-acceptable salts, hydrates, enantiomers, and diastereomers, and prodrugs thereof, are useful as inhibitors of LFA-1/ICAM and as anti-inflammatory agents, wherein L and K are O or S; Z is N or CR4b; Ar is an optionally-substituted aryl or heteroaryl; G is a linker attached to T or M or is absent; J, M and T are selected to define a three to six membered saturated or partially unsaturated non-aromatic ring; and R2, R4a, R4b, and R4c are as defined in the specification.
