Compounds are provided that modulate the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor, as well as methods of their synthesis, and methods of their therapeutic and/or prophylactic use. Such compounds can act as modulators or potentiators of GLP-1 receptor on their own, or with incretin peptides such as GLP-1(7-36) and GLP-1(9-36), or with peptide-based therapies, such as exenatide and liraglutide, and have the following general structure (where represents either or both the R and S form of the compound): ##STR00001##
where A, B, C, Y.sub.1, Y.sub.2, Z, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, W.sub.1, n, p and q are as defined herein.

The present invention relates to a novel crystalline form of 5-chloro-N-({(5S)-2-oxo-3-[4-(5,6-dihydro-4H-[1,2,4]triazin-1-yl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl}methyl)thiophene-2-carboxamide methanesulfonate and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same. The novel crystalline form of a compound according to the present invention exhibits excellent stability even in high-temperature and humidity environments, and thus can be favorably used to prevent or treat diseases, such as thrombosis, myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, inflammation, stroke, angina pectoris, restenosis after angioplasty, and thromboembolism.

This invention relates to agents that are inhibitors or activators of variant forms of endogenous proteins and novel methods of identifying such variants. Of particular interest are inhibitors and activators of endogenous protein variants, encoded by genes which have mutated, which variants often arise or are at least first identified as having arisen following exposure to a chemical agent which is known to be an inhibitor or activator of the corresponding unmutated endogenous protein.
