Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090253655QUINOLINONE FARNESYL TRANSFERASE INHIBITORS FOR THE TREATMENT OF SYNUCLEINOPATHIES AND OTHER INDICATIONS - Novel quinolinone farnesyl transferase inhibitors are provided. These new compounds are useful in the treatment or prevention of synucleinopathies, such as Parkinson's Disease, Diffuse Lewy Body Disease, multiple system atrophy, and disorders of brain iron concentration including pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (e.g., PANK1), or other neurodegenerative/neurological diseases. Provided compounds are also useful in the treatment of proliferative diseases such as cancer, and in the treatment of neurological diseases, such as cognitive impairment, depression, and anxiety.10-08-2009
20100160372TREATMENT OF PROTEINOPATHIES USING A FARNESYL TRANSFERASE INHIBITOR - Methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a low dose of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor useful in the treatment of proteinopathies are provided. These low doses are below the doses used in oncological treatments for which these compounds were initially designed. The treatment includes administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor, wherein the amount is effective to inhibit the farnesylation of a non-Ras FTase substrate involved in the autophagy pathway without substantially affecting the farnesylation of Ras or other oncology related substrates. Treatments in accordance with the present invention may also include an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, an activator of neurotrophic receptors, an NMDA antagonist, an amyloid deposit inhibitor, an antipsychotic agent, an antidepressant, an anxiolytic, or an antioxidant.06-24-2010
20100184803Treatment of Lysosomal Storage Diseases - Methods and compositions useful in the treatment or prevention of lysosomal storage diseases, such as Pompe's disease, Fabry's disease, Gaucher's disease, and Niemann-Pick disease, are provided. The treatment includes administering to a subject a farnesyl transferase inhibitor compound. The treatment may also include enzyme replacement therapy or gene therapy.07-22-2010
20100292292Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases Using Indatraline Analogs - Methods and compositions useful in the treatment or prevention of synucleinopathies, such as Parkinson's disease, diffuse Lewy body disease, and multiple system atrophy, or other neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, and Alzheimer's disease) are provided. The treatment including administering to a subject an indatraline derivative that inhibits the aggregation of α-synuclein.11-18-2010
20100331363TREATMENT OF MITOCHONDRIAL DISORDERS USING A FARNESYL TRANSFERASE INHIBITOR - Methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a low dose of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor useful in the treatment of proteinopathies are provided. These low doses are below the doses used in oncological treatments for which these compounds were initially designed. The treatment includes administering to a subject an amount of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor, wherein the amount administered is sufficient to cause an improvement in mitochondrial health in said subject. Treatments in accordance with the present invention may also include an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, an activator of neurotrophic receptors, an NMDA anatagonist, an amyloid deposit inhibitor, an antipsychotic agent, an antidepressant, an anxiolytic, or an antioxidant.12-30-2010
20110060005TREATMENT OF MITOCHONDRIAL DISORDERS USING A FARNESYL TRANSFERASE INHIBITOR - Methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a low dose of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor useful in the treatment of proteinopathies and mitochondrial disorders are provided. These low doses are below the doses used in oncological treatments for which these compounds were initially designed. The treatment includes administering to a subject an amount of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor, wherein the amount administered is sufficient to stimulate mitophagy in said subject. Treatments in accordance with the present invention may also include an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, an activator of neurotrophic receptors, an NMDA anatagonist, an amyloid deposit inhibitor, an antipsychotic agent, an antidepressant, an anxiolytic, or an antioxidant.03-10-2011
20110136867Treatment of Synucleinopathies - Methods and compositions useful in the treatment or prevention of synucleinopathies, such as Parkinson's Disease, Diffuse Lewy Body Disease, and Multiple System Atrophy, or other neurodegenerative diseases are provided. The treatment including administering to a subject a farnesyl transferase inhibitor compound.06-09-2011
20110294794TREATMENT OF PROTEINOPATHIES USING A FARNESYL TRANSFERASE INHIBITOR - Methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a low dose of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor useful in the treatment of proteinopathies are provided.
