The present invention relates to compounds of the formula (I) or a tautomer or prodrug thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of said compound, tautomer or prodrug, wherein:

Antiparasitic agents

The invention concerns tachykinin antagonists. The compounds are nonpeptides which have utility in treating disorders mediated by tachykinins. Such disorders are respiratory, inflammatory, gastrointestinal, ophthalmic, allergies, pain, vascular, diseases of the central nervous system, and migraine. Methods of preparing compounds and novel intermediates are also included. The compounds are expected to be especially useful in asthma and rheumatoid arthritis.

Tachykinin antagonists

The invention concerns tachykinin antagonists. The compounds are neopeptides which have utility in treating disorders mediated by tachykinins. Such disorders are respiratory, inflammatory, gastrointestinal, ophthalmic, allergies, pain, vascular, diseases of the central nervous system, and migraine. Methods of preparing compounds and novel intermediates are also included. The compounds are expected to be especially useful in asthma and rheumatoid arthritis.

The small compounds of the instant invention are tachykinin antagonists. The compounds are highly selective and functional NK.sub.3 antagonists expected to be useful in the treatment of pain, depression, anxiety, panic, schizophrenia, neuralgia, addiction disorders, inflammatory diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, vascular disorders, and neuropathological disorders.

The invention concerns tachykinin antagonists. The compounds are alcohols, amines and prodrugs of nonpeptides which have utility in treating disorders mediated by tachykinins. Such disorders are respiratory, inflammatory, gastrointestinal, ophthalmic, allergies, pain, vascular, diseases of the central nervous system, and migraine. Methods of preparing compounds and novel intermediates are also included. The compounds are expected to be especially useful in asthma, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, the management of pain, migraine, and antiemetic agents.

Tachykinin (NK1) receptor antagonists

The compounds of the instant invention are ligands for the NK.sub.2 receptor. The compounds are modified at the C-terminus to provide various amide isostere derivatives expected to be useful in treating obesity, anxiety, gastrointestinal ulcers, pain, stroke, and inflammation. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of using the compounds are also included.
