Abstract: The present invention relates to 2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridin-6-amine and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-5-amine compound inhibitors of beta-secretase having the structure shown in Formula (I) wherein the radicals are as defined in the specification. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, to processes for preparing such compounds and compositions, and to the use of such compounds and compositions for the prevention and treatment of disorders in which beta-secretase is involved, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment, senility, dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, Down's syndrome, dementia associated with stroke, dementia associated with Parkinson's disease, dementia associated with beta-amyloid, age-related macular degeneration, type 2 diabetes or metabolic disorders.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel bilaterally-substituted tricyclic compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them, for use as medicaments. Due to their ability to interact with an internal RNA loop and to mimic a protein ?-helix these compounds are effective in the treatment and/or prevention of HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1) infection and other diseases such as those caused by other RNA viruses and by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, or infectious or chronic diseases responsive to inhibition of DNA transcription, or infectious or chronic diseases where these compounds can be used to modulate the function of RNA internal loops, or infectious or chronic diseases where these compounds can be used as agonists or inhibitors of ?-helical proteins in interaction with other biomolecules.
