Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of treatment of a malcondition that can be regulated or normalized via inhibition of DPP-IV. The method involves administration of an effective amount of a pyrrolidine compound of the invention, such as would be present in a pharmaceutical composition of the invention, to mammals, especially humans, to affect a malcondition that can be regulated or normalized via inhibition of DPP-IV.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to pyrrolidinylaminoacetyl pyrrolidine boronic acid compounds that display selective, potent dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitory activity. These compounds are useful for the treatment of disorders that can be regulated or normalized via inhibition of DPP-IV including those characterized by impaired glycemic control such as Diabetes Mellitus and related conditions. The compounds can be administered alone or with another medicament that displays pharmacological activity for treatment of these and other diseases.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel macrocyclic compounds that mimic peptide substrates of the hepatitis C viral protease and inhibit the viral protease, more particularly as inhibitors of the NS3 serine protease from hepatitis C virus. Methods for synthesis of the compounds are also provided. The compounds find utility as antiviral agents directed at hepatitis C. The invention further provides methods of employing such inhibitors, alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, to treat hepatitis C infection in a subject in need of such treatment.

Abstract: Compounds that selectively inhibit dipeptidyl peptidase-IV over closely related dipeptidyl peptidases are those of Formula (I): as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, cyclic isomers thereof, prodrugs thereof, and solvates thereof, where all the variables are defined herein. These compounds can be used, alone or in combination with other drugs, for the treatment of diabetes and related diseases.

Abstract: In the context of synthesizing heterocyclic boronic acid compounds, a convergent synthetic methodology is particularly efficient for preparing boropyrrolidines and derivatives of boropyrrolidines.

Abstract: Certain constrained cyano compounds are useful as inhibitors of post-proline/alanine cleaving amino-dipeptidases. Accordingly, these compounds can be employed, alone or with another therapeutic agent, to treat diabetes (especially, Type II diabetes), hyperglycemia, Syndrome X, diabetic complications, hyperinsulinemia, obesity, atherosclerosis and related diseases, as well as various immunomodulatory diseases and chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
