The present invention relates to pharmaceutical composition(s) comprising particles comprising one or more compounds which are inhibitors of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein and/or apolipoprotein B (Apo B) secretion, wherein at least 50% of the particles are characterized by a volume particle fraction less than 10 μm, more preferably less than 5 μm, more preferably less than 2.5 μm. The pharmaceutical composition can be useful for the prevention and treatment of various diseases, particularly atherosclerosis and its clinical sequelae, for lowering serum lipids, and related ailments. The invention further relates to methods of treating diseases, such as hypertriglyceridemia, hyperchylomicronemia, atherosclerosis, obesity, and related conditions using the compounds. A method for decreasing apolipoprotein B (apo B) secretion is also provided.

Compositions comprising inhibitors of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein and Apo-B secretion

The present invention provides solid, crystalline forms of Compound I. Compound I has the structure: The invention further provides methods for treating, preventing, or reducing a disease or disorder in a subject in need thereof, the methods comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a crystalline form of Compound I. The disease or disorder may include any chronic disease and/or cardiovascular condition related to or caused by high blood pressure.

Crystalline forms of 4-ethoxy-n-(2-methoxyethyl)-n-methyl-3-(5-methyl-4-oxo-7-propyl-3,4-dihydroimidazo[5, 1-f][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide

The present invention relates to inhibitors of ROCK1 and ROCK2 and methods of modulating the pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic properties of such compounds. Also provided are methods of inhibiting ROCK1 and or ROCK2 that are useful for the treatment of disease.

Pharmacokinetically improved compounds

The present invention relates to compounds which are inhibitors of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein and/or apolipoprotein B (Apo B) secretion. These compounds can be useful for the prevention and treatment of various diseases, particularly atherosclerosis and its clinical sequelae, for lowering serum lipids, and related ailments. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and to methods of treating diseases, such as hypertriglyceridemia, hyperchylomicronemia, atherosclerosis, obesity, and related conditions using the compounds. A method for decreasing apolipoprotein B (apo B) secretion is also provided.

Inhibitors of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein and apo-B secretion

Rho-kinase inhibitors and method of preparation

A compound of formula A having improved non-specific binding characteristics and pharmacokinetic properties is provided: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer, or hydrate thereof.

A device for monitoring leukocyte migration is provided. The invention also provides a method of using the device to monitor leukocyte migration in the presence of physiological shear flow and therefore simulate physiological conditions of a blood vessel in vivo. The invention further provides a method of using the device to high-throughput screen a plurality of test agents. The present invention further provides a flexible assay system and numerous assays that can be used to test biological interactions and systems. Laminar flow gradients are employed that mimic gradient situations present in vivo.

Device and method for monitoring leukocyte migration

The present invention discloses a device for monitoring chemotaxis or chemoinvasion. The present invention further provides a flexible assay system and numerous assays that can be used to test biological interactions and systems. Laminar flow gradients are employed that mimic gradient situations present in vivo.

Biological assays using gradients formed in microfluidic systems

The present invention discloses a device for monitoring haptotaxis including a housing defining a chamber. The chamber comprises: a first well region including at least one first well, the first well configured to receive a test agent therein and further including biomolecules immobilized therein; a second well region including at least one second well, the second well region configured to receive a sample comprising cells therein and further being horizontally offset with respect to the first well region in a test orientation of the device; and a channel region including at a least one channel connecting the first well region and the second well region with one another, the channel region further including biomolecules immobilized therein.

Device for monitoring haptotaxis

The present invention discloses a test device including a support member; a top member mounted to the support member, wherein in the support member and the top member are configured such that they together define a discrete chamber. The discrete chamber includes a first well region including at least one first well; a second well region including at least one second well; and a channel region including at least one channel connecting the first well region and the second well region with one another. The second region is preferably horizontally offset with respect to the first well region in a test orientation of the device.

Test device and method of making same

An image processing method for use in analyzing image data of a cellular migration assay. The method includes defining a major axis within the image data that is perpendicular to an orientation of channels in the image data, determining an aggregate light intensity within the image data along the major axis, and identifying locations of channels within the image data from the projection.

Image processing method for use in analyzing data of a chemotaxis or haptotaxis assay

The present invention discloses a device for monitoring chemotaxis or chemoinvasion including a housing comprising: a support member and a top member, the top member mounted to the support member by being placed in substantially fluid-tight conformal contact with the support member. The support member and the top member are configured such that they together define a discrete chamber adapted to allow a monitoring of chemotaxis or chemoinvasion therein. The discrete chamber includes a first well region including at least one first well, the at least one first well configured to received a test agent therein; a second well region including at least one second well, the at least one second well configured to receive a sample comprising cells therein; and a channel region including at least one channel connecting the first well region and the second well region with one another. The second well region is preferably horizontally offset with respect to the first well region in a test orientation of the device.
