20120058945 | NEUROPROTECTIVE IRON CHELATORS AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING THEM - Novel iron chelators exhibiting neuroprotective and good transport properties are useful in iron chelation therapy for treatment of a disease, disorder or condition associated with iron overload and oxidative stress, e.g., a neurodegenerative or cerebrovascular disease or disorder, a neoplastic disease, hemochromatosis, thalassemia, a cardiovascular disease, diabetes, an inflammatory disorder, anthracycline cardiotoxicity, a viral infection, a protozoal infection, a yeast infection, retarding aging, and prevention and/or treatment of skin aging and skin protection against sunlight and/or UV light. The iron chelator function is provided by a 8-hydroxyquinoline, a hydroxypyridinone or a hydroxamate moiety. The neuroprotective function is imparted to the compound, e.g., by a neuroprotective peptide. A combined antiapoptotic and neuroprotective function is provided by a propargyl group. | 03-08-2012 |

20090208979 | Method for identifying antipsychotic drug candidates - The present invention provides a method for identifying a compound or a combination of compounds having a pharmacological behavior that qualifies it as a candidate for clinical development of a drug for treatment of a psychiatric disease or disorder, preferably schizophrenia. According to this method, a candidate drug is assessed for its ability to produce a biochemical profile, in either or both in vitro and in vivo test systems, which is similar to a unique reference biochemical profile obtained following treatments with drugs or drug combinations effective against both positive and negative symptoms of psychiatric diseases or disorders. | 08-20-2009 |
20090269770 | METHODS FOR EVALUATION PROGNOSIS AND FOLLOW-UP OF DRUG TREATMENT OF PSYCHIATRIC DISEASES OR DISORDERS - The present invention provides methods for evaluating the pharmacological efficacy of drugs or drug candidates in treatment of psychiatric diseases or disorders, particularly schizophrenia, and for predicting the efficacy of drugs or drug combinations indicated for treatment of both positive and negative symptoms of psychiatric diseases or disorders in an individual having such a disease or disorder. In both methods, the drugs or drug candidates evaluated are assessed for their ability to produce certain changes in the expression of specific genes in peripheral mononuclear cells in blood of psychiatric patients, which are similar to the changes obtained following treatments with reference drugs or drug combinations effective against both positive and negative symptoms of psychiatric diseases or disorders. | 10-29-2009 |
20100221735 | DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE - The present invention relates to molecular markers for detection, prognosis and follow up of Parkinson's disease (PD), wherein said molecular markers are one or more genes with altered expression pattern, or gene products thereof (RNA or protein). Genes which expression is upregulated or downregulated in PD patients are tools for early diagnosis od PD, for monitoring the progress of the disease and can serve as targets for screening new agents for treatment of PD. | 09-02-2010 |
20120095107 | METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS AND DISEASES - Propargylamine, propargylamine derivatives including N-propargyl-l-aminoindan, enantiomers and analogs thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are useful for prevention or treatment of cardiovascular disorders, diseases and conditions. | 04-19-2012 |
20140045809 | CORROLES FOR NEUROPROTECTION AND NEURORESCUE - Transition metal complexes of amphiphilic corroles, optical isomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are useful for neuroprotection and neurorescue, particularly for treatment of diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. The amphiphilic corrole is preferably a 5,10,15-tris-aryl- or 5,10,15-tris-CF | 02-13-2014 |

20130217028 | PERIPHERAL BLOOD GENE MARKERS FOR EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE - The present invention relates to the use of molecular risk marker profiles for diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. More particularly, the invention provides methods for diagnosis of Parkinson's disease in an individual, utilizing certain profiles established based on the expression levels of certain genes, which together form a gene panel, in the peripheral blood of said individual, as well as kits for carrying out these methods. The profile encompass ALDH1A1. | 08-22-2013 |
