Abstract: Methods are provided for treating or prophylactically preventing metabolic disorders in humans without causing, promoting, or aggravating fluid retention, peripheral edema, pulmonary edema, or congestive heart failure, by administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound sufficient to partially or fully activate peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) and partially or fully inhibit, antagonize or block the activity of angiotensin II type 1 receptors. Metabolic disorders that can be treated or prevented include but are not limited to type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, and other insulin resistance syndromes.

Abstract: This invention provides new chemical entities useful for treating a variety of clinical disorders including those that are influenced by the activity of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPAR). The structures of the compounds and methods to design, make and use the compounds are provided. Compounds and methods for administering therapeutic compositions comprising the compounds in cases of the disease psoriasis are provided. An exemplary compound having the formula compound is 5adamantan-2-yl-pentanoic acid {2-[4-(2,4-dioxo-thiazolidin-5-yl-methyl)-phenoxy]-ethyl}-methyl-amide is provided.

Abstract: Methods are provided for treating or preventing conditions comprising hypertension and dyslipidemia using antihyperlipemic agents and compounds that antagonize the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor, function as partial or full activators of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) and lower triglycerides or elevate blood HDL-cholesterol. Compositions are provided for treating or preventing conditions comprising hypertension and dyslipidemia, comprising antihyperlipemic agents which lower triglycerides and inhibit cholesterol synthesis such as statins, and compounds that antagonize or block the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor, activate PPARs and lower triglycerides or elevate blood HDL-cholesterol such as sartans.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, which at least partially activate PPAR? and may further inhibit the activity of the AT1 receptor. The novel compounds include certain substituted benzimidazole compounds of Formulae I and II, infra. The invention also provides methods of treating inflammatory and metabolic disorders and methods for screening compounds for the capability to treat or prevent an inflammatory or metabolic disorder.
