20110098225 | NOVEL PEPTIDES DERIVED FROM NCAM (FGLs) - The present invention relates to novel compounds comprising at most 13 contiguous amino acid residues derived from the fibronectin type 3,I1 module of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), or a variant or fragment thereof, capable of interacting with an FGFR and thereby the compounds are capable of inducing differentiation, modulating proliferation, stimulate regeneration, neuronal plasticity and/or survival of cells. Further, the present invention relates to the use of said compounds for production of a medicament for treatment of conditions and diseases, wherein NCAM and/or FGFR play a prominent role. | 04-28-2011 |
20090202554 | METHOD OF MODULATION OF INTERACTION BETWEEN RECEPTOR AND LIGAND - The present invention relates to a method for modulating the interaction between at least two proteins, wherein at least one of the two proteins is a functional cell-surface receptor and the other protein is the receptor ligand. The invention features a binding site of said functional cell-surface receptor on the receptor ligand and discloses a series of amino acid sequences, which are part of the structure of said binding site and/or involved in the interaction between the receptor and the ligand. Moreover, the present invention features methods for molecular design and screening of a candidate compound capable of modulating the interaction between the functional cell-surface receptor and receptor ligand through the described binding site, and provides a screening assay for identification of such a compound. The invention further describes an antibody capable of binding to the above binding site and/or to an epitope comprising an amino acid sequence essential for executing the receptor ligand interaction through said binding site. The invention also concerns a variety of uses of the disclosed methods, peptide sequences and antibodies. The invention in preferred embodiments concerns the binding site of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) on FGFR ligands, compounds capable of modulating the receptor ligand interaction through sa d binding site, and antibody capable of recognition of said binding site. | 08-13-2009 |
20090105149 | Compounds comprising lpa - The present invention relates to new peptide compounds capable of binding to fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), said compounds comprising two individual amino acid sequences, wherein at least one of the two amino acid sequences is capable of binding to FGFR. The invention discloses the amino acid sequences of the compounds and features pharmaceutical compositions comprising thereof. Invention also relates to uses of the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising thereof for the treatment or prevention of different pathological conditions, wherein FGFR plays a role in pathology and/or recovery from the disease. New peptide compounds of the invention are obtainable by the ligand presenting assembly (LPA) method. | 04-23-2009 |
20080249004 | Method of Modulating Cell Survival, Differentiation and/or Synaptic Plasticity - The present invention relates to a method of modulating differentiation, adhesion and/or survival of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) presenting cells by providing compounds capable of modulating the interaction between the Ig1, Ig2 and/or Ig3 modules of NCAM. The invention provides candidate compounds capable of modulating the interaction between the Ig1, Ig2 and/or Ig3 modules of NCAM by using methods for screening and testing described in the application. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds capable of modulating the interaction between the Ig1, Ig2 and/or Ig3 modules of NCAM and to use of the pharmaceutical compositions and compounds for the modulation of differentiation, adhesion and/or survival of NCAM presenting cells. | 10-09-2008 |
