Compounds having the chemical formula 1, ##STR00001##
a method for producing the compounds of chemical formula 1, a pharmaceutical composition comprising same, and use thereof as a GPR120 agonist for prevention or treatment of inflammation or metabolic diseases such as diabetes, complications from diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, fatty liver disease, and osteoporosis.

The present disclosure relates to novel compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds and methods of using the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for treating neurodegerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline. Methods for inhibiting synapse number decline or membrane trafficking abnormalities associated with exposure of a neuronal cell to Abeta species are also disclosed.

The invention provides amides that inhibit cellular necrosis and/or human receptor interacting protein 1 kinase (RIP1), including corresponding sulfonamides, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrides and stereoisomers thereof. The compounds are employed in pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of making and use, including treating a person in need thereof with an effective amount of the compound or composition, and detecting a resultant improvement in the person's health or condition.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating metabolic diseases, in which a novel 3-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)hex-4-inoic acid derivative and at least another active ingredient, which is selected from the group consisting of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPPIV) inhibitor-based, sulfonylurea-based, thiazolidinedione (TZD)-based, biguanide-based, and sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor-based drugs, may be administered in combination or in the form of a composite preparation. The use of the composition of the present invention can provide a remarkably excellent blood sugar reducing effect in various animal diabetic disease models, and the composition of the present invention can be favorably used as a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes type I, diabetes type II, glucose intolerance symptoms, insulin resistance symptoms, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, dyslipidemia, and syndrome X.
