  • Patent number: 9586928
    Abstract: The invention provides small molecule modulators of retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptors such as ROR?, ROR?, or ROR?, of formula with the variable atoms as defined herein and R1 comprising a hydroxyl- or alkoxyl-substituted fluoroalkyl group. Compounds of the invention can be effective modulators at concentrations ineffective to act on LXR receptors, or on other nuclear receptors, or other biological targets. Methods of modulation the RORs and methods of treating metabolic disorders, immune disorders, cancer, and CNS disorders wherein modulation of an ROR is medically indicated are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9309227
    Abstract: The invention provides molecular entities that bind with high affinity to PPARG (PPAR?), inhibit cdk5-mediated phosphorylation of PPARG, but do not exert an agonistic effect on PPARG. Compounds of the invention can be used for treatment of conditions in patients wherein PPARG plays a role, such as diabetes or obesity. Methods of preparation of the compounds, bioassay methods for evaluating compounds of the invention as non-agonistic PPARG binding compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9051265
    Abstract: The invention provides molecular entities that bind with high affinity to PPARG (PPAR?), and inhibit kinase-mediated (e.g., cdk5-mediated) phosphorylation of PPARG, but do not exert an agonistic effect on PPARG. Compounds of the invention can be used for treatment of conditions in patients wherein PPARG plays a role, such as diabetes, insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, pre-diabetes, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, obesity, or inflammation. Side effects such as significant weight gain, edema, impairment of bone growth or formation, or cardiac hypertrophy, or any combination thereof, can be avoided in the mammal receiving the compound. Methods of preparation of the compounds, bioassay methods for evaluating compounds of the invention as non-agonistic PPARG binding compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions are also provided.
