Abstract: This invention provides compounds that are inhibitors of the TGF-? signaling pathway. The compounds are represented by formula I: where A? is N or CH; Ring B is preferably an triazolyl, imidazolyl, or thiazolyl ring; —X-D- is a linker group; and G is an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl ring. The compounds are useful for treating cardiovascular disease.

Abstract: The present invention provides sulfonylurea compounds of formula (VIII) and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof and a process for making thereof. The compounds in their various forms are effective platelet ADP receptor inhibitors and may be used in various pharmaceutical compositions, and are particularly effective for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiovascular diseases, particularly those diseases related to thrombosis. The invention also provides intermediate compounds useful in the process, as well as final products produced by the process, and salts or prodrugs thereof. The invention also provides a method for inhibition platelet ADP receptor and preventing or treating thrombosis and thrombosis related conditions in a mammal comprising the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (VIII) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or forms thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel sulfonylurea compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives and polymorph and amorphous forms thereof. The compounds in their various forms are effective platelet ADP receptor inhibitors and may be used in various pharmaceutical compositions, and are particularly effective for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiovascular diseases, particularly those diseases related to thrombosis. The invention also provides a method for preparing such compounds and forms and for preventing or treating thrombosis and thrombosis related conditions in a mammal comprising the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or forms thereof.

Abstract: This invention provides compounds that are inhibitors of the TGF-&bgr; signaling pathway.

Abstract: Disclosed are certain substituted or unsubstituted pyridyl-containing spirocyclic compounds substituted with both basic and acidic functionality, which are useful in inhibiting platelet aggregation, inhibiting the binding of fibrinogen to blood platelets, and preventing or treating thrombosis
