  • Publication number: 20040254180
    Abstract: The subject invention provides pharmaceutical compounds useful in the treatment of Type II diabetes. These compounds are advantageous because they are readily metabolized by the metabolic drug detoxification systems. Particularly, isoxazolidine compounds which have been designed to include esters within the structure of the compounds are provided. This invention is also drawn to methods of treating disorders, such as diabetes, comprising the administration of therapeutically effective compositions comprising compounds which have been designed to be metabolized by serum or intracellular hydrolases and esterases. Pharmaceutical compositions of the isoxazolidine compounds are also taught.

  • Patent number: 6759424
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel imidazolidine derivatives of the formula I, in which B, E, W, Z, R, R0, R2, R3, e and h have the meanings indicated in the application. The compounds of the formula I are valuable pharmaceutical active compounds, which are suitable, for example, for the therapy and prophylaxis of inflammatory disorders, for example of rheumatoid arthritis, or of allergic disorders. The compounds of the formula I are inhibitors of the adhesion and migration of leucocytes and/or antagonists of the adhesion receptor VLA-4 belonging to the integrins group. They are generally suitable for the therapy or prophylaxis of illnesses which are caused by an undesired extent of leucocyte adhesion and/or leucocyte migration or are associated therewith, or in which cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions which are based on interactions of VLA-4 receptors with their ligands play a part.
