The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is a target for control of inflammation-related phenomena via compounds that are able to selectively induce desensitized states of the receptor. Compounds that selectively desensitize, without facilitating s

Derivatives of N,N-diethyl-N'- phenyl-piperazine, a silent agonist of the mammalian α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, are provided. These silent agonists control the desensitization state of the receptor. Further provided are pharmaceutical compositions that allow the administration of the silent agonists of the disclosure to a subject animal or human in need of treatment for a pathological condition arising from such as inflammation. The novel silent agonists also may be co-administered to a patient simultaneously or consecutively with a type II positive allosteric modulator to modulate the activity of the receptor.
4- ARYL(PIPERIDIN-4-YL)] AMINOBENZAMIDES WHICH BIND TO THE DELTA-OPIOID RECEPTOR

Page/Page column 16-17, (2008/06/13)
4-[aryl(piperidin-4-yl)] aminobenzamides are delta-opioid receptor agonists/antagonists of formula (I). As delta-opioid receptor agonists, such compounds are useful as analgesics. Depending on their agonist/antagonist effect, such compounds may also be useful immunosuppressants, antiinflammatory agents, agents for the treatment of mental illness, medicaments for drug and alcohol abuse, agents for treating gastritis and diarrhea, cardiovascular agents, and agents for the treatment of respiratory diseases. In formula (I), [Ar is phenyl, 1-naphthyl or 2-naphthyl, each optionally substituted with 1 to 3 R; R - R are described in the application].
