Abstract: The present invention relates to the provision of novel immunogens comprising an antigenic IgE peptide preferably linked to an immunogenic carrier for the prevention, treatment or alleviation of IgE-mediated disorders. The invention further relates to methods for production of these medicaments, immunogenic compositions and pharmaceutical compositing thereof and their use in medicine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel 2,3,4-substituted 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3-b]pyridine compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, to compositions containing such compounds and to the use of such compounds as inhibitors of HIV replication.

Abstract: The present invention relates in part to nicotine-derived hapten-carrier conjugates of the formula (III): wherein m, n, W, -(spacer)-, X* and Y are as defined in the description. In certain embodiments, said nicotine-derived hapten-carrier conjugates can be used to prepare vaccines for the treatment and/or prevention of nicotine addiction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of the formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, to compositions containing such compounds and to the use of such compounds as inhibitors of HCV replication.

Abstract: The invention relates to imidazopyridinones, to their use in medicine, to compositions containing them, to processes for their preparation and to intermediates used in such processes. By activating TLRs, it should be possible to induce or stimulate immune cells to mount an immune response. In particular, the TLR7 has been implicated in viral infections (such as HCV or HBV), cancers and tumours, and T2 Helper cell (TH2) mediated diseases, and hence TLR7 agonists are potentially useful in the treatment of such diseases. We have now found a series of imidazopyridinones which are agonists of TLR7. According, there is provided a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, wherein R1 is 3- to 8-membered saturated heterocyclic group wherein one ring member is —O—; and R2 is phenyl or pyridinyl, each optionally substituted by C1-C6alkyl.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of formula (I) wherein R1 to R6 and m are as defined hereinabove. The compounds of the present invention are modulators, especially antagonists, of the activity of chemokine CCR5 receptors. Modulators of the CCR5 receptor may be useful in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, pain, and. in the treatment of infection by HIV and genetically related retroviruses.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of formula (I) wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, m and n are as defined hereinabove. The compounds of the present invention are modulators, especially antagonists, of the activity of chemokine CCR5 receptors. Modulators of the CCR5 receptor may be useful in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases and conditions, and in the treatment of infection by HIV and genetically related retroviruses.
