Abstract: Compounds of general formula (I): wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, X and Y are as defined herein are inhibitors of glutaminyl cyclase and are therefore useful in treating conditions that can be treated by modulation of glutaminyl cyclase activity.

Abstract: The present invention relates in general to an inhibitor of a glutaminyl peptide cyclotransferase-like protein (QPCTL), and the use thereof for the treatment and/or prevention of an inflammatory disease or disorder selected from the group consisting of (a) chronic and acute inflammations, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, restenosis, pancreatitis; (b) other inflammatory diseases, e.g. neuropathic pain, graft rejection/graft failure/graft vasculopathy, HIV infections/AIDS, gestosis, tuberous sclerosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinizing polyradiculoneuropathy and multiple sclerosis; (c) neuroinflammation; and (d) neurodegenerative diseases, e.g. mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's disease, neurodegeneration in Down Syndrome, Familial British Dementia, and Familial Danish Dementia, which may result from neuroinflammation.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I), combinations and uses thereof for disease therapy, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or polymorph thereof, including all tautomers, stereoisomers and polymorphs thereof, wherein A, B and R1 are as defined throughout the description and the claims.
