Abstract: This invention provides compounds of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof that are useful for the treatment of the inflammatory component of diseases and are particularly useful in treating atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, type II diabetes, and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to phenylaminopropanol derivatives of formulae I, II, and III: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, compositions containing these derivatives, and methods of their use for the prevention and treatment of conditions ameliorated by monoamine reuptake including, inter alia, vasomotor symptoms (VMS), sexual dysfunction, gastrointestinal and genitourinary disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia syndrome, nervous system disorders, and combinations thereof, particularly those conditions selected from the group consisting of major depressive disorder, vasomotor symptoms, stress and urge urinary incontinence, fibromyalgia, pain, diabetic neuropathy, schizophrenia, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: Bicyclic amide derivatives of formula (I) or tautomers or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or both are provided: Also provided are processes for preparing the bicyclic amide derivatives as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing the same and therapeutic uses. The bicyclic amide derivatives are useful for treating a variety of conditions associated with the abnormal modulation of one or more Kv1.1 voltage-gated potassium channels.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating sepsis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, severe sepsis, septic shock, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome by modulating NF-?B transcription with ligands that interact with the estrogen receptor, preferably in the absence of classic estrogenic activity.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to phenylaminopropanol derivatives of formula I: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, compositions containing these derivatives, and methods of their use for the prevention and treatment of conditions ameliorated by monoamine reuptake including, inter alia, vasomotor symptoms (VMS), sexual dysfunction, gastrointestinal and genitourinary disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromylagia syndrome, nervous system disorders, and combinations thereof, particularly those conditions selected from the group consisting of major depressive disorder, vasomotor symptoms, stress and urge urinary incontinence, fibromyalgia, pain, diabetic neuropathy, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: This invention provides compounds of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof that are useful for the treatment of the inflammatory component of diseases and are particularly useful in treating atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, type II diabetes, and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatiod arthritis.
