Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) selectively inhibit production of A?(1-42) and hence find use in treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other conditions associated with deposition of A(?) in the brain.

Abstract: Novel sulphones of formula I are disclosed: The compounds modulate the processing of amyloid precursor protein by gamma-secretase, and hence are useful in the treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: Novel sulphones of Formula I are disclosed: wherein A completes a 4-7 membered ring optionally comprising up to two heteroatoms. The compounds modulate the action of ?-secretase and are therefore useful in the treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: The compounds of formula (I): inhibit gamma-secretase and hence are of utility in the treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
