The present disclosure relates generally to therapeutic agents that may be useful as modulators of Integrated Stress Response (ISR) pathway.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a compound that can be used as a supramolecular sensor for determining the presence of analytes (e.g., illicit drugs), and for identifying and/or quantifying the analytes. Also disclosed herein is a parallel synthesis method for making compound embodiments, as well as method embodiments for using the compound embodiments. Array embodiments comprising one or more compound embodiments disclosed herein also are described.

A problem of the present invention is to provide a polymerizable compound and a polymerizable composition which cause little decrease in retardation and discoloration when a film-shaped polymer produced by polymerization is irradiated with ultraviolet/visible light for a long time at high temperature. A further problem is to provide a polymer produced by polymerizing the polymerizable composition and an optically anisotropic body using the polymer. As a result, a compound useful as a component of a polymerizable composition was obtained. An optically anisotropic body using a polymerizable liquid crystal composition containing the compound of the present invention is useful for application to an optical film and the like.

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.

Sphingosine kinases are enzymes that catalyze the biosynthesis of sphingosine-1-phosphate. The invention provides compounds that are effective for inhibition of sphingosine kinase type 1, sphingosine kinase type 2, or both. Certain compounds are selective for sphingosine kinase type 2 relative to sphingosine kinase type 1. Compounds of the invention can be used in treatment of a range of diseases wherein increasing the level of sphingosine-1-phosphate in blood is medically indicated. Diseases that can be treated by administration of an effective dose of a compound of the invention include a neoplastic disease that involves excess vascular growth; macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy; an allergic disease such as asthma, an inflammatory disease of the eye such as uveitis, scleritis, or vitritis; an inflammatory disease of the kidney; a fibrotic disease; atherosclerosis; or pulmonary arterial hypertension. A compound of the invention can be used to improve the integrity of a vascular barrier in a disease where the vascular barrier is disrupted, such as cancer or Alzheimer's disease.

The present disclosure relates to compounds of formula I that are useful as modulators of α7 nAChR, compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds for preventing, treating, or ameliorating disease, particularly disorders of the central nervous system such as cognitive impairments in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia, as well as for L-DOPA induced-dyskinesia and inflammation
