Abstract: This invention is directed to novel aryl sulfonamide and sulfamide compounds which bind selectively to and inhibit the activity of the human Y5 receptor. This invention is also related to uses of these compounds for the treatment of feeding disorders such as obesity, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and abnormal conditions such as sexual/reproductive disorders, depression, epileptic seizure, hypertension, cerebral hemorrhage, congestive heart failure or sleep disturbances and for the treatment of any disease in which antagonism of a Y5 receptor may be useful.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel templates useful for generating novel compounds and to compounds produced utilizing the templates. The templates comprise quaternary amino acids that may be linked to solid supports. These templates make possible the production of novel classes of chemical compounds through a plurality of chemical reactions. The templates are advantageous for use in drug discovery regimes.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to inhibiting pest GABA receptors by contacting said receptors with a compound of Formula I: The invention is also directed to methods of controlling pests, especially insects and arachnids such as fleas and ticks, and to novel compounds within the scope of Formula I.

Abstract: Non-peptide compounds that act as antagonists of the intestinal hormone glucagons-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) have a 9H-b-carboline central motif. The compounds exhibit advantageous physical, chemical and biological properties and inhibit GLP-1 peptide binding to the GLP-1 receptor and/or prevent activation of the receptor by bound GLP-1. The invention further relates to a method of inhibiting the binding of GLP-1 to the GLP-1 receptor and a method of inhibiting the activation of the GLP-1 receptor. Intermediate compounds useful for making non-peptide GLP-1 receptor antagonists are also described.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to radiolabeled compounds of Formula I: or salts thereof, where R1 represents R8, R8O, R8SO2, R8SO or R8S in which R8 is tritiated or deuterated methyl; X is halo, cyano, C1-6 alkoxycarbonyl, C2-6 alkynyl, optionally substituted C6-14 aryl or an optionally substituted 5- to 7-membered heteroaromatic ring linked to thiazole via a carbon-carbon bond; R2 is hydrogen or amino; and R3-R7 are defined in the specification. The invention is also directed to methods of using such compounds for demonstrating specific insect GABA receptors, qualitatively screening for compounds acting on an insect GABA receptor or quantitatively assaying concentrations of a compound acting on an insect GABA receptor.
