This disclosure is directed to various compounds and methods of preparation of improved compounds that are capable of functioning as cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) antagonists with reduced central nervous system (CNS) side effects. The application is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more of these compounds, which may also contain one or more additional therapeutic agents. It is also directed to methods of treatment of various conditions that may be responsive to antagonism of the CB1 receptors, including, but not limited to, metabolic syndromes (including liver disease, obesity, and diabetes).

Diaryl purine derivatives with improved bioavailability

Compounds, compositions and methods are provided which are useful in the treatment of diseases through the modulation of potassium ion flux through voltage-dependent potassium channels. More particularly, the invention provides heterocycles, compositions and methods that are useful in the treatment of central or peripheral nervous system disorders (e.g., migraine, ataxia, Parkinson's disease, bipolar disorders, trigeminal neuralgia, spasticity, mood disorders, brain tumors, psychotic disorders, myokymia, seizures, epilepsy, seizure, retinal degeneration, hearing and vision loss, Alzheimer's disease, age-10 related memory loss, learning deficiencies, anxiety, neuronal degeneration and motor neuron diseases, maintaining bladder control or treating urinary incontinence) and as neuroprotective agents (e.g., to prevent stroke and the like) by modulating potassium channels associated with the onset or recurrence of the indicated conditions.

Heterocycles as potassium channel modulators

Compounds, compositions and methods are provided which are useful in the treatment of diseases through the modulation of potassium ion flux through voltage-dependent potassium channels. More particularly, the invention provides heterocycles, compositions and methods that are useful in the treatment of central or peripheral nervous system disorders (e.g., migraine, ataxia, Parkinson's disease, bipolar disorders, trigeminal neuralgia, spasticity, mood disorders, brain tumors, psychotic disorders, myokymia, seizures, epilepsy, seizure, retinal degeneration, hearing and vision loss, Alzheimer's disease, age-related memory loss, learning deficiencies, anxiety, neuronal degeneration and motor neuron diseases, maintaining bladder control or treating urinary incontinence) and as neuroprotective agents (e.g., to prevent stroke and the like) by modulating potassium channels associated with the onset or recurrence of the indicated conditions.

Compounds, compositions and methods are provided which are useful in the treatment of diseases through the modulation of potassium ion flux through voltage-dependent potassium channels.

Fused ring heterocycles as potassium channel modulators

The present invention provides a genus of pyrimidine amides that are useful as openers of potassium ion channels. The compounds of the invention are of use in both therapeutic and diagnostic methods.

Pyrimidines as novel openers of potassium ion channels

Compounds, compositions and methods are provided which are useful in the treatment of diseases through the modulation of potassium ion flux through voltage-dependent potassium channels. More particularly, the invention provides bisarylamines, compositions and methods that are useful in the treatment of central or peripheral nervous system disorders (e.g., migraine, ataxia, Parkinson's disease, bipolar disorders, trigeminal neuralgia, spasticity, mood disorders, brain tumors, psychotic disorders, myokymia, seizures, epilepsy, hearing and vision loss, Alzheimer's disease, age-related memory loss, learning deficiencies, anxiety and motor neuron diseases) and as neuroprotective agents (e.g., to prevent stroke and the like) by opening potassium channels associated with the onset or recurrence of the indicated conditions.

Bisarylamines as potassium channel openers

The present invention provides a genus of pyridine-substituted benzanilides that are useful as openers of potassium ion channels. The compounds of the invention are of use in both therapeutic and diagnostic methods.

Pyridine-substituted benzanilides as potassium ion channel openers

Compounds useful as potassium channel inhibitors and especially useful for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and cell proliferative disorders are described.
