Abstract: Disclosed is a method of preparing a GLP-1 compound that is soluble in aqueous solution at pH 7.4 from a GLP-1 compound that is substantially insoluble in aqueous solution at pH 7.4. The insoluble GLP-1 compound is dissolved in aqueous base or in aqueous acid to form a GLP-1 solution. The GLP-1 solution is then neutralized to a pH at which substantially no amino acid racemization of the GLP-1 compounds occurs, after which the soluble GLP-1 compound is isolated from the neutralized solution.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel, non-secosteroidal, hydroxyl substituted, carbon-linked diaryl compounds with vitamin D receptor (VDR) modulating activity that are less hypercalcemic than 1?,25 dihydroxy vitamin D3. These compounds are useful for treating bone disease and psoriasis.

Abstract: A novel class of benzisothiazole-3(2H)-one compounds is disclosed together with the use of such compounds for inhibiting hepatic lipase and/or endothelial lipase activity for treatment, amelioration or prevention of hepatic lipase and/or endothelial lipase mediated diseases.

Abstract: Novel compounds of structural formula (I) are disclosed. As modulators of the Cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor, these compounds are useful in the treatment, prevention and suppression of diseases mediated by the CB1 receptor. As such, compounds of the present invention are useful as in the treatment, prevention and suppression of psychosis, memory deficits, cognitive disorders, migraine, neuropathy, neuro-inflammatory disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome and the inflammatory sequelae of viral encephalitis), cerebral vascular accidents, head trauma, anxiety disorders, stress, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia. The compounds are also useful for the treatment of substance abuse disorders, particularly to opiates, alcohol, and nicotine. The compounds are also useful for the treatment of obesity or eating disorders associated with excessive food intake and complications associated therewith.

Abstract: Compounds of the general formula (I) are inhibitors of the reuptake of norepinephrine. As such, they may be useful for the treatment of disorders of the central and/or peripheral nervous system.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ionophore antibiotic composition capable of diluting with water to a substantially stable dispersed form in all water than present, said composition comprising or including:—at least one ionophore antibiotic (preferably monensin) of a mean particle size of less than 20 microns,—and at least one dispersing agent. A method of preparing the ionophore antibiotic composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method to treat conditions characterized by formation of amyloid plaques both prophylactically and therapeutically is described. The method employs humanized antibodies which sequester soluble A? peptide from human biological fluids or which preferably specifically bind an epitope contained within position 13-28 of the amyloid beta peptide A?.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses isolated antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, that specifically bind to the p19 subunit of IL-23. These antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, are high affinity, neutralizing antibodies useful for the treatment of autoimmune disease.

Abstract: The invention provides a stable solution formulation comprising a GLP-1-Fc fusion at a pH between about pH 6 and about pH 8.5. analogs fused to specific IgG4-Fc derivatives. These formulations provide unexpected and considerably greater chemical stability than when compared to GLP-1 -Fc fusions at a pH outside the described ranges. The formulations comprising a GLP-1-Fc fusion are useful in treating diabetes, obesity, initable bowel syndrome and other conditions that would be benefited by lowering plasma glucose, inhibiting gastric and/or intestinal motility and inhibiting gastric and/or intestinal emptying, or inhibiting food intake.

Abstract: The present invention relates to substituted benzopyran derivatives, stereoisomers, and pharmaceutical acceptable salts thereof useful as Estrogen Receptor beta agonists for treating Estrogen Receptor beta mediated diseases such as benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Abstract: The present invention provides BACE inhibitors of Formula I: methods for their use and preparation, and intermediates for their preparation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a selective estrogen receptor modulator of formula I or a pharmaceutical acid addition salt thereof; useful, e.g., for treating endometriosis and/or uterine leiomyoma/leiomyomata.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of treating leukemia comprising administration of a resistance modulating amount of a compound having the formula (2r)-anti-5-{3-[4-(10,11-difluoromethano-dibenzosuber-5-yl)piperazin-1-yl]-2-hydroxypropoxy}quinoline 2.5 hydrochloride.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel, non-secosteroidal, phenyl-benzothiophene compounds with vitamin D receptor (VDR) modulating activity that are less hypercalcemic than 1?,25 dihydroxy vitamin D3. These compounds are useful for treating bone disease and psoriasis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel muteins of human fibroblast growth factor 21 with reduced capacity of O-glycosylation when expressed in yeast compared to wild-type human FGF-21. Both protein and the respective encoding nucleic acid species are disclosed. The invention also embodies vectors and host cells for the propagation of said nucleic acid sequences and the production of said muteins. Also disclosed are methods for treating type 2 diabetes, obesity, or metabolic syndrome.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses peptides that selectively activate the VPAC2 receptor and are useful in the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract: The present invention provides kinase inhibitors of Formula I.

Abstract: The present invention provides kinase inhibitors of Formula (I) wherein R1, R2, and X are as described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pro-inflammatory synthetic polysaccharide antigen (SPA), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, comprising a TLR2-targeting synthetic peptidoglycan (PGN) moiety onto which a first epitope and a second epitope are each covalently attached. The first epitope comprises one or more than one generic T helper peptide sequence, and the second epitope comprises one or more than one target epitope. The first and second epitopes are present in one or more copies each within the SPA. Each target epitope is a peptide sequence or a carbohydrate moiety, and is an immunogen to CD8+ T cells or B cells. The present invention also provides a suppressive synthetic polysaccharide antigen (SPA), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, comprising a TLR2-targeting synthetic peptidoglycan (PGN) moiety onto which one or more than one target epitope is covalently attached.
