Abstract: The use of agonists of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPAR.alpha.) for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of obesity and methods of treating obesity comprising the administration of a therapeutic amount of a PPAR.alpha. agonist.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel oxoazepine derivatives of Formula (I),R.sup.1 R.sup.2 NCOCH.sub.2 N(R.sup.3)COR.sup.4 (I)to processes for their preparation, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to their use in medicine. More particularly, it relates to compounds which exhibit agonist activity for CCK-A receptors thereby enabling them to modulate the hormones gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) in mammals.

Abstract: Described herein are non-steroidal ligands for the estrogen receptor which possess tissue-dependent estrogenic and antiestrogenic activity as well as methods for making the same and their applications in treating a variety of disease states.
