Abstract: Disclosed is a novel class of substituted imidazole compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and uses of these compounds in the treatment and/or prevention of diseases and disorders related to the histamine H3 receptor. More particularly, these compounds are useful for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases and disorders in which an interaction with the histamine H3 receptor is beneficial. These imidazoles compounds have the formula I wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, A, X, Y and Z are as defined in the specification.

Abstract: N-substituted azaheterocycyclic carboxylic acids and esters thereof of the formula I wherein Z, X, R1, R2 and r are defined in the specification. Compositions thereof and methods for preparing the compounds are disclosed. The compounds are useful for clinical treatment of painful, hyperalgesic and/or inflammatory conditions in which C-fibers play a pathophysiological role by eliciting neurogenic pain or inflammations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel N-substituted azaheterocyclic compounds of the general formula wherein X, Y, Z, R1, R2 and m are as defined in the detailed part of the present description, or salts thereof, to methods for their preparation, to compositions containing them, and to their use for the clinical treatment of painful, hyperalgesic and/or inflammatory conditions in which C-fibers play a pathophysiological role by eliciting neurogenic pain or inflammation, as well as their use for treatment of indications caused by or related to the secretion and circulation of insulin antagonising peptides, e.g. non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and ageing-associated obesity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel N-substituted azaheterocyclic carboxylic acids and esters thereof in which a substituted alkyl chain forms part of the N-substituent or salts thereof, to methods for their preparation, to compositions containing them, and to their use for the clinical treatment of painful, hyperalgesic and/or inflammatory conditions in which C-fibers play a pathophysiological role by eliciting neurogenic pain or inflammation.

Abstract: The compounds are N-substituted azaheterocyclic compounds of formula I wherein R1 and R2 independently are hydrogen, halogen, trifluoromethyl, hydroxy, C1-6-alkyl or C1-6-alkoxy; and Y is >N—CH2— wherein only the underscored atom participates in the ring system; and X is —C(R6R7)—, —CH2CH2—, —CH═CH—CH2—, —CH2—CH═CH—, —CH2—(C═O)—, —(C═O)—CH2—, —CH2CH2CH2—, —CH═CH—, CH(R10)CH2—, —CH2CH(R10) or —(C═O)— wherein R6 and R7 independently are hydrogen or C1-6-alkyl and wherein R10 is C1-6-alkyl or phenyl; and r is 0, 1 or 2; and Z is selected from wherein A is —CH2—, —O—, —S— or —N(R5)— wherein R5 is H or C1-6-alkyl; and R3 is —(CH2)pCOR4 wherein p is 1, 2, 3 or 4 and R4 is OH, NH2, NHOH or C1-6-alkoxy; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt th
