Abstract: In various aspects, the present invention relates to non-peptidic compounds, which modulate calcitonin and amylin receptor activity; to processes for the preparation of some such compounds; and to pharmaceutical compositions including such compounds. Compounds of the invention are useful as calcitonin and/or amylin agonists and in the treatment of bone diseases and metabolic diseases.

Abstract: The present invention is related to compounds, their intermediates, processes for their preparation and use, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds. The novel compounds are useful in therapy, and in particular for the treatment of viral infection, particularly HIV infection.

Abstract: Compounds which are non-natural galanin receptor ligands are disclosed. The ligands are of small size, have agonist or antagonist galanin activity and may cross the blood-brain barrier to displace galanin from galanin receptors. The ligands are useful as medicaments for treatment of convulsions (e.g. in epilepsy), diseases and disorders related to endocrinology (e.g., growth hormone, insulin or prolactin release), tumors expressing galanin receptors, feeding disorders pain, allodynia, psychiatric disorders such as depression (involving e.g., noradrenaline or serotonin), cognitive disorders (e.g. Alzeimer's disease), and the like.
