Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel amyloid binding compounds and methods for measuring effects of the compounds, by measuring changes of amyloid plaque level in living patients. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of using the compounds of this invention as tracers in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to study amyloid deposits in brain in vivo to allow diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Thus, the present invention relates to use of the novel amyloid binding compounds as a diagnostic. The invention further relates to a method of measuring clinical efficacy of Alzheimer's disease therapeutic agents. Specifically, the present invention relates to novel aryl or heteroaryl substituted indole derivatives, compositions, and therapeutic uses and processes for making such compounds.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compounds of Formula A, or a salt thereof: Formula (A), wherein: Het, Q and R1A to R4A are defined herein, which compounds have properties for blocking Nav 1.7 ion channels found in peripheral and sympathetic neurons. Also described are pharmaceutical formulations comprising the compounds of Formula A or their salts, and methods of treating cough, itch, acute pain and neuropathic pain disorders using the same.

Abstract:
Disclosed are compounds of Formula A, or a salt thereof, where Q, X, R1 and R2 are as defined herein, which compounds have properties for inhibiting Na 1.7 ion channels found in peripheral and sympathetic neurons. Also described are pharmaceutical formulations comprising the compounds of Formula A or their salts, and methods of treating pain (acute, post-operative, neuropathic), or cough or itch disorders using the same.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to pyrrolopyridine compounds of formula (I) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which may be suitable for imaging tau aggregates, b-sheet aggregates, beta-amyloid aggregates or alpha-synuclein aggregates, and hence are useful in binding and imaging tau aggregates in Alzheimer's patients. More specifically, this invention relates to a method of using the compounds of this invention as tracers in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to study tau deposits in brain in vivo to allow diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases characterized by tau pathology. The invention further relates to a method of measuring clinical efficacy of therapeutic agents for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases characterized by tau pathology.

The present invention relates to novel amyloid binding compounds of formula (I) and methods for measuring effects of the compounds, by measuring changes of amyloid plaque level in living patients. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of using the compounds of this invention as tracers in positron emission tomography (PET/) imaging to study amyloid deposits in brain in vivo to allow diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Thus, the present invention relates to use of the novel amyloid binding compounds as a diagnostic. The invention further relates to a method of measuring clinical efficacy of Alzheimer's disease therapeutic agents. Specifically, the present invention relates to novel aryl or heteroaryl substituted azabenzoxazole derivatives, compositions, and therapeutic uses and processes for making such compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or in vivo hydrolysable ester thereof, wherein: X is O or S; A and Y independently are N, or CH.
