The present invention relates to a novel class of benzothiophene amide derivatives. The hydroxamic acid compounds can be used to treat cancer. The benzothiophene amide compounds can also inhibit histone deacetylase and are suitable for use in selectively inducing terminal differentiation, and arresting cell growth and/or apoptosis of neoplastic cells, thereby inhibiting proliferation of such cells. Thus, the compounds of the present invention are useful in treating a patient having a tumor characterized by proliferation of neoplastic cells. The compounds of the invention may also be useful in the prevention and treatment of TRX-mediated diseases, such as autoimmune, allergic and inflammatory diseases, and in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), such as neurodegenerative diseases. The present invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the hydroxamic acid derivatives and safe dosing regimens of these pharmaceutical compositions, which are easy to follow, and which result in a therapeutically effective amount of the hydroxamic acid derivatives in vivo.

The present invention provides a histamine receptor H3 protein agonist (e.g. Imetit) used for anti-obesity or suppression of food intake. In addition, the present invention also provides a method for assaying a compound having a histamine receptor H3 protein as a target of drug discovery, and a compound obtained by the aforementioned assay method. According to the present invention, it becomes possible to provide a novel intended use of a histamine receptor H3 protein agonist for anti-obesity or suppression of food intake. Moreover, it also becomes possible to provide a method for assaying a compound having the aforementioned protein as a target of drug discovery, and a compound obtained by the aforementioned assay method.
