Novel FXR agonists are disclosed, embodiments of a method of making the same, and of a composition comprising them are disclosed herein. Also disclosed are embodiments of a method of treating or preventing a metabolic disorder in a subject, comprising administering to a subject (e.g., via the gastrointestinal tract) a therapeutically effective amount of one or more of the disclosed compounds, thereby activating FXR receptors in the intestines, and treating or preventing a metabolic disorder in the subject. Additionally disclosed are embodiments of a method of treating or preventing inflammation in an intestinal region of a subject, comprising administering to the subject (e.g., via the gastrointestinal tract) a therapeutically effective amount of one or more of the disclosed compounds, thereby activating FXR receptors in the intestines, and thereby treating or preventing inflammation in the intestinal region of the subject.

FXR agonists and methods for making and using

Novel 4-substituted piperidine analogs, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same and the method of using the 4-substituted piperidine analogs as selectively active antagonists of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subtypes for treating conditions such as cerebral ischemia, central nervous system trauma, hypoglycemia, neurodegenerative disorders, anxiety, migraine headaches, convulsions, aminoglycoside antibiotics-induced hearing loss, chronic pain, psychosis, glaucoma, CMV retinitis, opioid tolerance or withdrawal, urinary incontinence and neurodegenerative disorders such as lathyrism, Alzheimers' Disease, Parkinsonism, and Huntington's Disease are described. Also described are novel methods for preparing 4-substituted piperidine analogs and novel intermediates of the 4-substituted piperidine analogs.
