Abstract: Substituted aminothiazole derivatives, methods of their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions comprising a substituted aminothiazole, and methods of use in treating human or animal disorders. The compounds may be useful as inhibitors of action of AgRP on a melanocortin receptor and thus may be useful for the management, treatment, control, or the adjunct treatment of diseases which may be responsive to the modulation of melanocortin receptors including obesity-related disorders.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to substituted thiazol-2-ylamine derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof that inhibit 11?HSD1 and that may be useful in the treatment of diseases in which modulation or inhibition of 11?HSD1 is beneficial or where a reduction in intracellular glucorticoid levels is desirable. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and the use of these compounds and compositions in the treatment of such diseases, disorders, or conditions in which modulation or inhibition of 11?HSD1 is beneficial or where a reduction in intracellular glucorticoid levels is desirable.

Abstract: The present invention provides phenyl-heteroaryl derivatives of Formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof These compounds are useful in the treatment of RAGE-mediated diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease. The present invention further relates to methods for the preparation of compounds of Formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and/or pharmaceutical compositions in treating RAGE-mediated diseases.

Abstract: This invention provides certain compounds, methods of their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and their use in treating human or animal disorders. The compounds of the invention are useful as modulators of the interaction between the receptor for advanced glycated end products (RAGE) and its ligands, such as advanced glycated end products (AGEs), S100/calgranulin/EN-RAGE, ?-amyloid and amphoterin, and for the management, treatment, control, or as an adjunct treatment for diseases in humans caused by RAGE. Such diseases or disease states include acute and chronic inflammation, the development of diabetic late complications such as increased vascular permeability, nephropathy, atherosclerosis, and retinopathy, the development of Alzheimer's disease, erectile dysfunction, and tumor invasion and metastasis.
