Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) suppress the normal signalling activity CB1 receptors, and are thus useful in the treatment of diseases or conditions which are mediated by CB1 receptor signalling activity, such as treatment of obesity and overweight, prevention of weigh gain, treatment of diseases and conditions directly or indirectly associated with obesity and overweight: wherein A1 is hydrogen, —COOH, or tetrazolyl, and A2 is hydrogen, —COOH, or tetrazolyl, provided that one of A1 and A2 is either —COOH or tetrazolyl; p is 0 or 1 and A3 is phenyl or cycloalkyl, either of which is optionally substituted with R4 and/or R5; q is 0 or 1; R3 is hydrogen, C1-C4 alkyl, cycloalkyl, —CF3, or —OR9; R4 and R5 independently —R9, —CN, —F, —Cl, —Br, —OR9, —NR7R8, —NR7COR6, —NR7SO2R6, —COR6, —SR9, —SOR9, or —SO2R6; R6 is C1-C4 alkyl, cycloalkyl, —CF3 or —NR7R8; R7 and R8 are independently hydrogen, C1-C4 alkyl, —CF3, or cycloalkyl; R9 is hydrogen, C1-C4 alkyl, cycloalkyl, fully or partially fluorinated C1-C4 alkyl; R1 is

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) are ligands of the melanin concentrating hormone-1 receptor (MCH-1R), useful in the treatment of diseases responsive to modulation of melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) activity, for example feeding disorders and diseases for which obesity is a risk factor (I): wherein ring B is selected from specific substituted phenyl or benz-fused 5 membered N-containing heterocycles defined in the specification; R, is attached to a ring carbon of ring B, and represents hydrogen, F, Cl, or —OCH3; X is ?CH— or ?N—; L, is —CH2— or —CH2CH2—; L2 is a bond, —CH2— or —CO—; R2 is H or C, —C3 alkyl, or —N(R2) L, —is selected from specific cyclic amino linker radicals as defined in the specification; ring A is selected from specific N-containing heterocyclic rings as defined in the specification.

Abstract: Compounds of formula are CRTH2 ligands, useful for treatment of inflammatory, autoimmune, respiratory or allergy disease: wherein R1 is hydrogen or methyl and R2 is optionally substituted cycloalkyl, or optionally substituted non-aromatic heterocyclyl having to 6 ring atoms; or R1 and R2, taken together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form an optionally substituted cycloalkyl, or optionally substituted non-aromatic heterocyclyl having 4 to 6 ring atoms: or R1 and R2, taken together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form an optionally substituted cycloalkyl, or optionally substituted cycloalkyl, or optionally substituted non-aromatic heterocyclyl ring having 4 to 6 ring atoms; R is hydrogen or an optional substitutent by 1, 2 or 3 optional substituents; A is hydrogen or C1-C3 alkyl; and ring Ar is an optionally substituted phenyl or 5- or 6-membered monocyclic heteroaryl ring.
