Abstract: Selective inhibitors of cGMP-specific PDE, and use of the compounds and salts and solvates thereof as therapeutic agents, are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is related to substituted amine derivatives notably for use as pharmaceutically active compounds, as well as to pharmaceutical formulations containing such amine derivatives of formula (I). Said substituted amine derivatives are efficient modulators, in particular inhibitors, of the Bax function and/or activation. The present invention is furthermore related to novel substituted amine derivatives as well as methods of their preparation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compound of formula (I), wherein Ar1 represents phenyl, naphthyl or phenyl fused by a C3-8cycloalkyl, where each group is optionally substituted by methylenedioxy or one or two groups independently represented by R1; Ar2 represents phenyl or a 5-6 membered heteroaromatic group, where each group is optionally substituted by one to four groups independently selected from halogen, C1-4 alkyl and C1-4 alkoxy; Ar3 represents a phenyl or a 5-6 membered heteroaromatic group, where each group is optionally substituted by one to four groups independently selected from hydroxy, alkyl, C1-4 alkoxy, C2-4 alkenyl, C2-4 alkenyloxy, C1-4 perfluoroalkoxy, C1-4 acylamino or an electron withdrawing group; A represents —C(H)—; E represents —C1-6 alkylene-; X represents —CON(H or C1-4alkyl)- or —N(H or C1-4alkyl)CO—; Y represents a direct link; R1 represents halogen, —S(C1-4 alkyl)-, —O—(C0-4 alkylene)-R2 or —(C0-4alkylene)-R2, where each alky

Abstract: The present invention is related to new substituted pyrrolidine derivatives of formula (I). Said compounds are preferably for use as pharmaceutically active compounds. Specifically, pyrrolidine derivatives of formula (I) are useful in the treatment and/or prevention of neurodegenerative disorders, diseases associated with polygultamine tracts, epilepsy, ischemia, infertility, cardiovascular disorders renal hypoxia, hepatitis and AIDS. Said pyrrolidine derivatives display a modulatory and most notably a down-regulating-up to an inhibitory-activity with respect to the cellular death agonist Bax and/or the activation pathways leading to Bax and allows therefore to block the release of cytochrome (c).

Abstract: Compounds of a general structural formula (I) and salts and solvates thereof, and use of the compounds as PDES inhibitor.

Abstract: Compounds of general structural formula (I) wherein A represents a 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl group containing at least one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur, and use of the compounds, and salts and solvates thereof, as therapeutic agents, are disclosed.

Abstract: Carboline derivatives of formula (I), are potent and selective inhibitors of cyclic guanosine 3′,5′-monophoshate specific phosphodiesterase (cGMP specific PDE) and have utility in a variety of therapeutic areas where such inhibition is thought to be beneficial, including the treatment of cardivascular disorders.
