Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds capable of inhibiting and/or decreasing the activity of one or more cathepsins, thereby treating and/or preventing various disease states associated with one or more cysteine proteases including, but not limited to, cathepsins and papain-like cysteine proteases. Disease states treated and/or prevented by the compounds of the invention include, but are not limited to, mammalian parasitic diseases in which the parasite utilizes a critical cysteine protease from the papain family. Examples of parasitic diseases to be treated or prevented by the compounds of the invention include, but are not limited to, toxoplasmosis, malaria, African trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, coccidiosis, giardiosis, cryptosporidiosis or schistosomiasis.

Abstract: An audio greeting card is typically manufactured with pre-recorded songs that play when the greeting card is opened. The purchaser of an audio greeting card is limited to the songs already selected for such cards. A customizable audio greeting card is provided, for which the user can select the audio that is played. The audio greeting card has an audio receiving and playback device, with a connector for receiving audio information. User-selected audio information is sent to the greeting card and identifiable information is generated pertaining to the sent audio information. The identifiable information may be printed onto a label for affixing to the greeting card or may be printed directly onto the greeting card. The identifiable information is utilized when completing the sale of the customized greeting card, thereby indicating the finalized customization of the user-selected audio played on the purchased audio greeting card.

Abstract: Several parasites responsible for mammalian diseases are dependent on cysteine protease for various life-cycle functions. Inhibition of these proteases can be useful in the treatment of these parasitic diseases, including toxoplasmosis, malaria, African trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease, leishmaniasis or schistosomiasis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of compounds mainly, leucinamide-amino-carboxylate derivatives of formula (I) wherein Y is CR1R2, O, S, —SO2, C=0 or NR9; Z is CR1R2, O, S, —SO2, C?O or NR9 and each G is independently a CR1CR2. Said compounds are cathepsin cysteine protease inhibitors, including but not limited to, inhibitors of cathepsin K, L, S and B and to pharmaceutical compositions thereof. These compounds are useful for treating and preventing cathepsin dependent conditions in which inhibition of bone resorption is indicated, such as osteoporosis.
