Compounds of formula I'wherein the two &#x2014;OH substituents in the phenyl moiety are in a position ortho to one another and Rin a position ortho to one of the hydroxy groups; and X, Rto Rare as defined in disclosure. The compounds exhibit COMT enzyme inhibiting activity, so are useful as COMT inhibitors.

Coumarin derivatives with COMT inhibiting activity

Compounds of formula (I'), wherein A, Rto Rand t are as defined in the disclosure, exhibit COMT enzyme inhibiting activity so that they are useful as COMT inhibitors.

Derivatives of naphthalene with COMT inhibiting activity

This invention relates to determining the three-dimensional structure of the cytosolic domain of phospholamban (PLB) and its active site from NMR data of sufficiently high resolution for the three-dimensional structure determination. The invention also relates to methods for rational drug design enabling the design of phospholamban inhibitors based on using the three-dimensional structure data provided on computer readable media, as analyzed on a computer system having suitable computer algorithms. The invention also relates to phospholamban inhibiting compounds with certain structural, physicochemical and spatial characteristics that allow for the interaction of said compounds with specific residues of the active site of phospholamban.

Compounds for deactivating phospholamban function on Ca-ATPase (phospholamban inhibitors)

Compounds for deactivating phospholamban function on Ca-ATPase (phopholamban inhibitors)

Catechol derivatives

A method for the prevention and treatment of stunning of the heart subsequent to ischemia-reperfusion is described. The method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a phospholamban inhibitor to a patient. Phospholamban inhibitors relieve the inhibitory effect of phospholamban on cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca.sup.2+ -ATPase.
