Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of the general formula (I): to the process for preparing them, and to the use thereof as a therapeutic agent.

Abstract: The present patent application concerns new compounds of formula (I): displaying agonistic activity at sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors, their process of preparation and their use as immunosuppressive agents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new racecadotril formulation in the form of tablets, the preparation process thereof and the use thereof to treat diarrhoea.

Abstract: The present patent application concerns compounds of formula (I) with R1 and R2 taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form a mono or bicyclic saturated nitrogen-containing ring; their preparation and their use as a H3 receptor ligand for treating e.g. CNS disorders like Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: The present invention provides new method of treatment of epilepsy with non-imidazole alkylamine derivatives that constitute antagonists of the H3-receptors of histamine.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of the general formula (I): to the process for preparing them, and to the use thereof as a therapeutic agent having the property of being selective ligands for the dopamine D3 receptor. These selective D3 ligands are useful as medicines in neuropsychiatry, in particular in the treatment of psychotic or depressive states, or in the treatment of motor disorders, such as dyskinesia or essential tremor. They are furthermore useful in the treatment of dependency on nicotine, cocaine, alcohol, opioids and for facilitating withdrawal in drug-dependent individuals.

Abstract: The invention relates to new crystalline 1-[3-[3-(4-chlorophenyl)propoxy]propyl]-piperidine monohydrochloride, the respective manufacture and methods of use, and compositions containing such a compound.

Abstract: The invention concerns compounds of general formula (I), a method for preparing same, as well as their use as therapeutic agent.

Abstract: The present patent application concerns new compounds of formula (I) with R1 and R2 taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form a saturated nitrogen-containing ring, A is a saturated C1-4 alkylene and B a C3-4 alkylene or alkenylene chain; their preparation and their use as a H3 receptor ligand for treating e.g. CNS disorders like Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: Compounds of the general formula (I) below: are provided along with a process for preparing them, and these compounds may be used as therapeutic agents, e.g., for prevention and/or treatment of a neuropsychiatric illness or any illness involving the dopamine D3 receptor.

Abstract: The present invention concerns new combinations of an anti-emetic agent and an enkephalinase inhibitor, the uses of said combinations for treating diarrhea and/or gastroenteritis.

Abstract: Use of a compound of formula (A), wherein: W is a residue which imparts antagonistic and/or agonistic activity at histamine H3-receptors when attached to an imidazole ring in 4(5) position; R1 and R2 may be identical or different and represent each independently a lower alkyl or cycloalkyl, or taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, a saturated nitrogen-containing ring (i) as defined, a non-aromatic unsaturated nitrogen-containing ring (ii) as defined, a morpholino group, or a N-substituted piperazino group as defined for preparing medicaments acting as antagonists and/or agonists at the H3-receptors of histamine.

Abstract: Medicament comprising, in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, an anti-psychotic or an antidepressant (A), which, on its own, has an undesirable effect of a gain in body weight or sedation, and an antagonist and/or inverse agonist (B) of the histamine H3 receptor, the antagonist and/or inverse agonist of the histamine H3 receptor being present in a therapeutically effective amount for ensuring at least one of the following three effects: suppression or at least limitation of the undesirable effect of weight gain, suppression or limitation of the undesirable effect on alertness, epilepsy/convulsions, increase in the precognitive effect of the treatment. Use of such an antagonist or inverse agonist for the preparation of a medicament which is to ensure at least one of the said three effects in a patient treated by such an antipsychotic or antidepressant.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds which constitute a class of medicaments which have an anti-inflammatory activity and which act by inhibiting leukotriene A4 (LTA4), and enzyme which is responsible for the biosynthesis of leukotriene LTB4, a major proinflammatory mediator. The invention also relates to therapeutic anti-inflammatory, applications of these compounds as well as for methods of preparing these compounds.
