  • Patent number: 7037918
    Abstract: New pyrimidine or pyridine based compounds, compositions and methods of inhibiting the activity of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK3) in vitro and of treatment of GSK3 mediated disorders in vivo are provided. The methods, compounds and compositions of the invention may be employed alone, or in combination with other pharmacologically active agents in the treatment of disorders mediated by GSK3 activity, such as in the treatment of diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, obesity, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, essential hypertension, polycystic ovary syndrome, syndrome X, ischemia, traumatic brain injury, bipolar disorder, immunodeficiency or cancer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 3, 2002
    Date of Patent: May 2, 2006
    Assignee: Chiron Corporation
    Inventors: John M. Nuss, Stephen D. Harrison, David B. Ring, Rustum S. Boyce, Sean P. Brown, Dane A. Goff, Kirk W. Johnson, Keith B. Pfister, Savithri Ramurthy, Paul A. Renhowe, Lynn Seely, Sharadha Subramanian, Allan S. Wagman, Xiaohui A. Zhou
  • Patent number: 6800632
