SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Technology description follows.

Triazole Derivatives as P2Y14 Receptor Antagonists

    The technology describes the composition of small molecule 
compounds that are antagonists of the P2Y14 receptor. Also provided are 
methods of using the compounds, including a method of treating a 
disorder, such as inflammation, diabetes, insulin resistance, 
hyperglycemia, a lipid disorder, obesity, a condition associated with 
metabolic syndrome, and asthma, and a method of antagonizing P2Y14 
receptor activity in a cell. This technology is available for licensing 
for commercial development in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 
part 404.

Potential Commercial Applications:
