Abstract: CRF receptor antagonists are disclosed which have utility in the treatment of a variety of disorders, including the treatment of disorders manifesting hypersecretion of CRF in a warm blooded animals, such as stroke. The CRF receptor antagonists of this invention have the following structure (I), including stereoisomers, prodrugs and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R1, R2, R3, Y, Ar, and het are as defined herein. Compositions containing a CRF receptor antagonist in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier are also disclosed, as well as methods for use of the same.

Abstract: 4-Aminopyrimidine derivatives of formula (I) FORMULA heteroaryl groups, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R1 and R2 are adenosine A2A receptor antagonists useful in the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease.

Abstract: Combinatorial libraries of HIV and FIV protease inhibitors are characterized by ?-keto amide or hydroxyethylamine core structures flanked by on one side by substituted pyrrolidines, piperidines, or azasugars and on the other side by phenylalanine, tyrosine, or substituted tyrosines. The libraries are synthesized via a one step coupling reaction. Highly efficacious drug candidates are identified by screening the libraries for binding and inhibitory activity against both HIV and FIV protease. Drug candidates displaying clinically useful activity against both HIV and FIV protease are identified as being potentially resistive against a loss of inhibitory activity due to development of resistant strains of HIV.
