Abstract: Compounds of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, wherein R1 and R3 independently represent H, C1-6alkyl, C3-8cycloalkyl, or halogen; R2 represents C1-6alkyl, CF3 or aryl; a represents 1 or 2; R4, R5, R7 and R8 independently represent H, C1-6alkyl, C1-6alkyloxy, CN or halogen, or R4 and R5, or R7 and R8, together with the ring to which they are attached form an aryl or heterocyclic fused ring system; X represents C or N; Y represents CH2 or O; R6 represents H, CN or halo provided that, when X represents N, R6 is absent. The compounds are useful for treating endometriosis, uterine fibroids (leiomyomata), menorrhagia, adenomyosis, primary and secondary dysmenorrhoea (including symptoms of dyspareunia, dyschexia and chronic pelvic pain), or chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

Abstract: The invention relates to NEP inhibitors for treating cardiovascular disorders. Preferred NEP inhibitors are compounds of formula (I) wherein R1 is C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6alkoxyC1-C3alkyl or C1-C6alkoxyC1-C6alkoxyC1-C3alkyl; R2 is hydrogen or C1-C6alkyl; L is a three atom linkage selected from —CH2—X—CH2— and —CH2—CH2—X— where the right hand side of the linkage is attached to R3 and where X is oxygen, sulfur or methylene; R3 is phenyl or aromatic heterocyclyl, either of which may be independently substituted by one or more groups selected from: C1-C6alkyl, halo, haloC1-C6alkyl, C1-C6alkoxy, haloC1-C6alkoxy, C1-C6alkylthio, haloC1-C6alkylthio and nitrile; and R4 and R5 are either both hydrogen, or one of R4 and R5 is hydrogen and the other is a biolabile ester-forming group that in the body of a patient is replaced by hydrogen.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical for use in damaged tissue, such as wound, treatment (e.g. healing) is described. The pharmaceutical comprising a composition which comprises: (a) a growth factor; and (b) an inhibitor agent; and optionally (c) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient; wherein the inhibitor agent can inhibit the action of at least one specific adverse protein (e.g. a specific protease) that is upregulated in a damaged tissue, such as a wound, environment.
