Abstract: The invention relates to guanidine derivatives of formula (I) where: A represents a chain of 3-6 carbon atoms, one of which can be replaced by —N(R?)— or —O— and R? is H or a substituent; the ring skeleton only contains both double bonds of the thiazole component; the pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salts of basic compounds of formula (I), the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts of compounds of formula (I), comprising acid groups, with bases, the pharmaceutically-acceptable esters of hydroxy or carboxyl group containing compounds of formula (I) and the solvates or hydrates thereof, which exhibit a neuropeptide FF receptor antagonist effect. The above are suitable for the treatment of pain and hyperalgesia, withdrawal symptoms in alcohol, psychotropic and nicotine dependencies, for improvement or cure of said dependencies, for regulation of insulin excretion, food intake, memory functions, blood pressure, electrolyte and energy management and for treatment of urinary incontinence.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of alkylidene pyrazolidinedione derivatives, which are effective platelet ADP receptor antagonists that prevent platelet aggregation and thrombosis. Thus, the present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions that contain the compounds as well as methods of preventing or treating peripheral, visceral, hepatic, renal, cardio- and cerebro-vascular diseases and conditions that are associated with platelet aggregation, including thrombosis, in humans and other mammals. The present invention further provides a process for manufacturing the alkylidene pyrazolidinedione derivatives.

Abstract: Pyrrolidone carboxamides of formula (I) where R2=a group of formula (a) or (b), R5=phenyl, heteroalkyl, aryloxy, alkoxy, alkanoyl or —NR6R7 and R1, X, R3, R4, R6 and R7 have the meanings given in the description and the claims, pharmaceutically applicable acid addition salts with basic compounds of formula (I), pharmaceutically applicable salts of acid compounds of formula (I) with bases, pharmaceutically applicable esters of hydroxy- or carboxy-group containing compounds of formula (I) and hydrates and solvates thereof, inhibit the interaction of neuropeptide Y (NPY) with one of the neuropeptide receptor subtypes (NPY-Y5) and are particularly suitable for the prevention and treatment of arthritis, diabetes and especially eating disorders and obesity. The above can be produced by known methods and converted into a galenic dosage form.
