Patent number: 6894059Abstract: The present invention provides 1,4 substituted piperazines, 1,4 substituted piperidines, and 1-substituted, 4-alkylidenyl piperidines compounds. The compounds of the invention are dual acting molecules having both leukotriene inhibition properties as well as antihistaminergic properties. The compounds of the invention are useful for treating conditions in which there is likely to be a histamine and/or leukotriene component. These conditions include preferably asthma, seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, sinusitus, conjunctivitis, food allergy, scombroid poisoning, psoriasis, urticaria, pruritus, eczema, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic obsructive pulmonary disease, thrombotic disease and otitis media. Also provided are methods of treating asthma and rhinitis by administering an effective asthma and rhinitis-relieving amount of the compounds to a subject in need thereof.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2000Date of Patent: May 17, 2005Assignee: UCB S.A.Inventors: Ralph Scannell, Pierre Chatelain, Anna Toy-Palmer, Edmund Differding, James Ellis, Marie-Agnes Lassoie, Michelle Young, Xiong Cai, Sajjat Hussoin, Gurmit Grewal, Timothy Lewis

Patent number: 6201016Abstract: Enantiomerically enriched disubstituted tetrahydrofurans, tetrahydrothiophenes, pyrrolidines and cyclopentanes are disclosed that reduce the chemotaxis and respiratory burst leading to the formation of damaging oxygen radicals of polymorphonuclear leukocytes during an inflammatory or immune response. The compounds exhibit this biological activity by acting as PAF receptor antagonists, by inhibiting the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase, or by exhibiting dual activity, i. e., by acting as both a PAF receptor antagonist and inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase. It has been determined that 5-lipoxygenase activity, oral availability, and stability in vivo (for example, glucuronidation rate) can vary significantly among the optical isomers of the disclosed compounds.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 1995Date of Patent: March 13, 2001Assignee: CytoMed IncorporatedInventors: Xiong Cai, Gurmit Grewal, Sajjat Hussoin, Aberra Fura, Ralph Scannell, Tesfaye Biftu
