Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of formula I: in which: one of T1 and T4 is N and the other is C; T2 and T3 are independently N or C(CH2)nR2; X, Y and Z are independently N or C(CH2)nR3; R1 is Ar1 or R1 is C1-6alkyl optionally substituted with one or two groups Ar1; Ar1 is an optionally substituted cyclohexyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, morpholinyl, adamantyl, phenyl, naphthyl, a six membered heteroaromatic ring containing one, two or three nitrogen atoms, a five-membered heteroaromatic ring containing one, two, three or four heteroatoms chosen from O, N and S, at most one O or S atom being present, or a nine- or ten-membered bicyclic heteroaromatic ring in which phenyl or a six-membered heteroaromatic ring as defined above is fused to a six- or five-membered heteroaromatic ring as defined above; Ar is an optionally substituted phenyl, a six-membered heteroaromatic ring containing one, two or three nitrogen atoms or a five-membered heteroaromatic ring containing one, two, three or four heteroatoms cho

Abstract: A class of 2-aryloxy-2-arylalkanoic acids comprises compounds that are potent agonists of PPAR alpha and/or gamma, and are therefore useful in the treatment, control or prevention of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, atherosclerosis, obesity, vascular restenosis, inflammation, and other PPAR alpha and/or gamma mediated diseases, disorders and conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel LXR ligands of Formula I and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters and tautomers thereof, which are useful in the treatment of dyslipidemic conditions, particularly depressed levels of HDL cholesterol.

Abstract: The present invention provides a compound of formula I: Y-J-NH-Z??(I) wherein: Y is a quinoline or isoquinoline optionally substituted with one or two substituents independently chosen from hydroxy, halogen, haloC1-4alkyl, C1-4alkyl, C1-4alkoxy, haloC1-4alkoxy, nitro and amino; J is pyridine, pyridazine, pyrazine, pyrimidine or triazine optionally substituted with one or two substituents independently chosen from hydroxy, halogen, haloC1-4alkyl, C1-4alkyl, C3-5cycloalkyl, C1-4alkoxy, hydroxyC1-4alkyl, cyano, hydroxy, C1-4cycloalkoxy, C1-4alkylthio, haloC1-4alkoxy, nitro, Q, (CH2)pQ, —NR2R3, —(CH2)pNR2R3 and —O(CH2)pNR2R3; wherein J is substituted at positions meta to each other by NH and Y; and Z is phenyl or pyridyl optionally substituted with one or two substituents independently selected from halogen, haloC1-4alkyl, C1-4alkyl, C1-4alkoxy, haloC1-4alkoxy, nitro and amino; Q is phenyl, a five-membered heterocyclic ring containing one, two, three or four heteroatoms chosen from O, N and S, at most one

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of formula (I); pharmaceutically acceptable salts and N-oxides thereof in which A, B, D and E are C or N with the proviso that one or more are N, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are simple substituents, n is 0-3 and y is an aryl, heteroaryl, carbocyclyl or fused-carbocyclyl group; as VR-1 antagonists for treating conditions or diseases in which pain and/or inflammation predominates; the use of the same for manufacturing medicaments, pharmaceutical compositions comprising them and methods of treatment utilising them.

Abstract: Metal oxide field effect transistor having a channel and a gate that surrounds the channel on four sides. Method of manufacture of the transistor includes processing the back of a silicon wafer to form a buried gate that is electrically connected to the gate of a conventional field effect transistor to form an all-around structure.
