  • Patent number: 8440643
    Abstract: This invention provides novel ?-lactamase inhibitors of the aryl- and heteroaryl-sulfonamidomethylphosphonate monoester class having nitrogen-based cations or quarternary ammomium groups. The compounds inhibit three classes of ?-lactamases and synergize the antibacterial effects of ?-lactam antibiotics (e.g., imipenem and ceftazimdime) against those micro-organisms normally resistant to the ?-lactam antibiotics as a result of the presence of the ?-lactamases.

  • Publication number: 20090137529
    Abstract: The compounds of the present invention are prodrugs of modulators of the Cannabinoid-1 (CB 1) receptor and are useful in the treatment, prevention and suppression of diseases mediated by the Cannabinoid-1 (CB 1) receptor. In particular, compounds of the present invention are 5 prodrugs of antagonists or inverse agonists of the CB 1 receptor. The invention is concerned with the use of these compounds to be converted to compounds that modulate the Cannabinoid-1 (CB 1) receptor. As such, the compounds of the present invention are useful as centrally acting drugs in the treatment of psychosis, memory deficits, cognitive disorders, Alzheimer's disease, migraine, neuropathy, neuro-inflammatory disorders including multiple sclerosis and Guillain-10 Barre syndrome and the inflammatory sequelae of viral encephalitis, cerebral vascular accidents, and head trauma, anxiety disorders, stress, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, movement disorders, and schizophrenia.
