  • Patent number: 8993779
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to benzimidazolone derivatives which are positive allosteric modulators of the mGluR2 receptor, useful in the treatment or prevention of neurological and psychiatric disorders associated with glutamate dysfunction and diseases in which the mGluR2 receptor is involved. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and the use of these compounds and compositions in the prevention or treatment of such diseases in which metabotropic glutamate receptors are involved, such as schizophrenia.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 5, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 31, 2015
    Assignee: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
    Inventors: Vadim Y. Dudkin, Mark E. Fraley, Kenneth L. Arrington, Mark E. Layton, Alexander J. Reif, Kevin J. Rodzinak, Joseph E. Pero

  • Patent number: 7910561
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to compounds which contain substituted naphthyridines which inhibit the activity of Akt, a serine/threonine protein kinase. The invention is further directed to chemotherapeutic compositions containing the compounds of this invention and methods for treating cancer comprising administration of the compounds of the invention. These substituted naphthyridines have unexpected advantageous properties when compared to other naphthyridines reported in PCT publication WO2003/086394, such unexpected advantageous properties may include increased cellular potency/solubility, greater selectivity, enhanced pharmacokinetic properties, lack of off target activity and so on.
