Abstract: Methods are provided directed to administering a therapeutically effective amount of a prostaglandin EP4 agonist component to a mammal afflicted with or prone to affliction with a disease or condition selected from an esophageal ulcer, alcohol gastropathy, a duodenal ulcer, a gastric ulcer, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced gastroenteropathy and intestinal ischemia. Such administration results in treating or preventing the disease or condition.

Abstract: Compounds of Formula 1 where the variables have the meaning defined in the specification are agonists of alpha2 adrenergic receptors. Several compounds of the disclosure are specific or selective to alpha2B and/or alpha2C adrenergic receptors in preference over alpha2A adrenergic receptors. Additionally some of the claimed compounds have no or only minimal cardivascular and/or sedatory activity. The compounds of Formula 1 are useful as medicaments in mammals, including humans, for treatment of diseases and or alleviations of conditions which are responsive to treatment by agonists of alpha2 adrenergic receptors. Compounds of Formula 1 which have no significant cardiovascular and/or sedatory activity are useful for treating pain and other conditions with minimal side effects.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions related to compound 1 or compound 2 or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, or prodrugs thereof, which are antagonists of a prostaglandin EP4 receptor, or are prostaglandin EP4 antagonists.

Abstract: A compound of the formula or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is disclosed herein. Methods and compositions related thereto are also disclosed.

The compounds of Formula 1 can be incorporated in a pharmaceutical compositions and can be used in methods of treating an alpha 2B receptor mediated diseases or conditions.

Abstract: Compounds of Formula 1 where X is S and the variables have the meaning defined in the specification are specific or selective to alpha2B and/or alpha2C adrenergic receptors in preference over alpha2A adrenergic receptors, and as such have no or only minimal cardivascular and/or sedatory activity. These compounds of Formula 1 are useful as medicaments in mammals, including humans, for treatment of diseases and or alleviations of conditions which are responsive to treatment by agonists of alpha2B adrenergic receptors. Compounds of Formula 1 where X is O also have the advantageous property that they have no or only minimal cardivascular and/or sedatory activity and are useful for treating pain and other conditions with no or only minimal cardivascular and/or sedatory activity.

Abstract: Biocompatible intraocular microspheres and implants include an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist and a polymer associated with the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist to facilitate release of the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist into an eye for an extended period of time. The alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix of a two biodegradable polymers. The implants may be placed in an eye to treat or to prevent the occurrence of one or more ocular conditions, to reduce one or more symptoms of an ocular condition, such as an ocular neurosensory disorder and the like, to enhance normal retinal function and/or to lower intraocular pressure.
