Provided are compounds that are capable of modulating the activity of the influenza A virus via interaction with the M2 transmembrane protein. Also provided are methods for treating an influenza A-affected disease state or infection comprising administering a composition comprising one or more compounds that have been identified as being capable of interaction with the M2 protein.

Amantadine has been used for decades as an inhibitor of the influenza A virus M2 protein (AM2) in the prophylaxis and treatment of influenza A infections, but its clinical use has been limited by its central nervous system (CNS) side effects as well as emerging drug-resistant strains of the virus. With the goal of searching for new classes of M2 inhibitors, a structure-activity relation study based on 2-[3-azaspiro(5,5)undecanol]-2-midazoline (BL-1743) was initiated. The first generation BL-1743 series of compounds has been synthesized and tested by two-electrode voltage-clamp (TEV) assays. The most active compound from this library, 3-azaspiro[5,5]undecane hydrochloride (9), showed an IC50 as low as0.92 ± 0.11 μM against AM2, more than an order of magnitude m ore potent than amantadine (IC50 = 16 μM). 15N and 13C solid-state NMR was employed to determine the effect of compound 9 on the structure and dynamics of the transmembrane domain of AM2 (AM2-TM) in phospholipid bilayers. Compared to amantadine, spiro-piperidine 9 (1) induces a more homogeneous conformation of the peptide,(2) reduces the dynamic disorder of the G34-I35 backbone near the water -filled central cavity of the helical bundle, and (3) influences the dynamics and magnetic environment of more residues within the transmembranehelices. These data suggest that spiro-piperidine 9 binds more extensiv ely with the AM2 channel, thus leading to stronger inhibitory potency.

This invention provides compounds of the formula (I) useful in the inhibition or modulation of serine palmitoyl transferase and their use in methods of treatment or amelioration of type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes, insulin resistance, the effects of obesity, metabolic syndrome (sometimes referred to as Syndrome X), impaired glucose tolerance, Cushing's disease, cardiovascular disease, prothrombotic conditions, myocardial infarction, hypertension, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, sepsis, liver damage, retinal degenerative disorders, cachexia, emphysema, hepatitis C infections, HIV infections and inflammatory disorders and useful in methods for raising HDL plasma levels in a mammal. The compounds of this invention can also be used to prevent damage or loss of pancreatic islet beta cells (such as in the case of pancreatic beta cell apoptosis, including those related to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus).

The present invention relates to the imidazole derivative of the following formula (I) wherein R1 is hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl and the like, R2 is hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl and the like, R3is optionally substituted heteroaryl, R4 is optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted phenyl and the like, provided that when R1 is hydrogen, and R2 and R4 are the same or different and each is phenyl or phenyl substituted by halogen atom, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy, R3 is benzothiazolyl or thiazolyl substituted by phenyl, the imidazole derivative of the following formula (XII) wherein R6 is optionally substituted phenyl or optionally substituted heteroaryl and R7 is substituted phenyl, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds of the formulas (I) and (XII) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof of the present invention inhibit IL-4 and IL-5 production by Th2 cells and are effective for the prophylaxis and treatment of allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis and the like.

Some (piperidinomethylene)bis(phosphonic acid) derivatives were prepared and their activity to inhibit a rise in serum calcium induced by parathyroid hormone in thyroparathyroidectomised rats was evaluated. Several (4- alkylidene-, 4,4-dialkyl-, or 4-alkyl-4- halopiperidinomethylene)bis(phosphonic acid) derivatives showed considerable inhibitory activity. But compounds having aromatic and polar substituents such as azido, hydroxy, amino and amido on the piperidine ring were generally inactive. In this study, two 4-alkylidene compounds (8a and 8b) and a 4,4- cyclic dialkyl compound (61) showed potent activity when administered either intravenously or perorally.
