Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090093471 | Methods of Treating Nervous Disorders - The invention relates to compositions and methods for treating nervous disorders. More particularly, the invention relates to methods of treating amyloÊd beta peptide-related disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease, using Rac1 inhibitors. The invention may be used in mammalian subjects, particularly human subjects, at various stages of the disease, including disease onset. The invention also provides methods of producing, identifying, selecting or optimising compounds for use in the treatment of amyloÊd beta peptide-related disorders, based on a determination of the ability of a test compound to inhibit Rac 1. | 04-09-2009 |
20090118282 | Compounds and methods for treatment of amyloid-beta-peptide related disorders - The present invention relates to compounds, preparation and uses thereof, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. The present invention discloses novel compounds more particularly useful for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other similar diseases, and more specifically the inventive compounds modulate (in particular, inhibit) the level of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) exhibited by cells or tissues; Aβ peptide is a major component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer's sufferers. This invention also relates the use of these inhibitors to prevent, treat or ameliorate the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease or any Amyloid-β-Peptide Related Disorder. | 05-07-2009 |
20090285820 | Methods of Treating Degenerative Disorders With Rac 1B Inhibitor - The invention relates to compositions and methods for treating degenerative disorders. More particularly, the invention relates to methods of treating amyloïd beta peptide-related disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease, using Rac1b inhibitors. The invention may be used in mammalian subjects, particularly human subjects, at various stages of the disease, including disease onset. The invention also provides methods of producing, identifying, selecting or optimising compounds for use in the treatment of amyloïd beta peptide-related disorders, based on a determination of the ability of a test compound to inhibit Rac1b. | 11-19-2009 |
20090317842 | Methods and Tools for The Therapy of Neurodegenerative Pathologies - The present invention concerns compositions and methods for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in which the cognitive functions are altered, such as observed in Alzheimer's disease. More particularly, the invention presents a strategy for human clinical monitoring of the activity and/or effectiveness of neuroprotective treatments, based on biochemical assay of certain platelet parameters, and thus can be done by blood sampling. The invention also concerns methods, tools, constructions and compositions suitable for implementing these strategies. | 12-24-2009 |
20100317830 | BACE455, AN ALTERNATIVE SPLICE VARIANT OF THE HUMAN BETA-SECRETASE - The present invention relates generally to the fields of genetics, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry and medicine. The present invention more particularly discloses the identification of a human gene variant involved in neuropathological conditions, and methods for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of such diseases and related disorders, as well as for the screening of therapeutically active drugs. The present invention relates to catalytically active beta-secretase (Memapsin2, BACE) variants, and nucleic acids encoding them. The invention is useful in the identification of agents that inhibit the activity of a particular BACE isoform and thus agents and therapies affecting the genesis, development or progression of neuropathological conditions, including Alzheimer's disease and dementia. | 12-16-2010 |
20130131018 | SUBSTITUTED ISOQUINOLINES AND THEIR USE AS TUBULIN POLYMERIZATION INHIBITORS - The present invention relates generally to substituted isoquinolines and their use as tubulin polymerization inhibitors. In particular, the invention relates to substituted isoquinolines which possess useful therapeutic activity, use of these compounds in methods of therapy and the manufacture of medicaments as well as compositions containing these compounds. | 05-23-2013 |
20140275064 | DYRK1 INHIBITORS AND USES THEREOF - The present invention relates to novel thiazolo[5,4-f]quinazoline compounds and methods that are useful in the amelioration, treatment or control of Down's syndrome or early Alzheimer's disease or in the amelioration, treatment or control of cancers, especially solid tumors. More specifically, the invention relates to DYRK1A and/or DYRK1B inhibitors and to methods for preparing such compounds. | 09-18-2014 |
20140309253 | SUBSTITUTED 6,7-DIALKOXY-3-ISOQUINOLINOL DERIVATIVES AS INHIBITORS OF PHOSPHODIESTERASE 10 (PDE 10A) - The invention relates to compounds of the formula | 10-16-2014 |
