The invention provides methods of treating prophylactically an individual in whom Type 2 diabetes mellitus has not yet presented, but in whom there is an increased risk of developing such condition, which methods comprise administering to an individual in need thereof an effective amount of a glycogen phosphorylase inhibitor; effective amounts of a glycogen phosphorylase inhibitor and a non-glycogen phosphorylase inhibiting anti-diabetic agent; or effective amounts of a glycogen phosphorylase inhibitor and an anti-obesity agent.
The invention further provides methods of treating prophylactically an individual in whom Type 2 diabetes mellitus has not yet presented, but in whom there is an increased risk of developing such condition, which methods comprise administering to an individual in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition comprising effective amounts of a glycogen phosphorylase inhibitor and a non-glycogen phosphorylase inhibiting anti-diabetic agent; or effective amounts of a glycogen phosphorylase inhibitor and an anti-obesity agent.

lipophilic groups in the 4 and 5-positions led to increased activity in a [(3)H]histamine radiolabeled ligand competitive binding assay. In vitro metabolism and initial pharmacokinetic studies were performed on selected compounds leading to the identification of indole 8 and benzimidazole 40 as potent H(4) antagonists with the potential for further development. In addition, both 8 and 40 demonstrated

This invention provides novel inhibitors of the enzyme D-amino acid oxidase as well as pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds of the invention. The invention also provides methods for the treatment and prevention of neurological disorders, such as neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as pain, ataxia and convulsion. The compounds of the invention have the general structure:
wherein A is NH or S. Q is a member selected from CR
