Abstract:
This invention relates to compounds useful for treating fungal infections, more specifically topical treatment of onychomycosis and/or cutaneous fungal infections. This invention is directed to compounds that are active against fungi and have properties that allow the compound, when placed in contact with a patient, to reach the particular part of the skin, nail, hair, claw or hoof infected by the fungus. In particular the present compounds have physiochemical properties that facilitate penetration of the nail plate.

Abstract:
A method of induction of amyloid plaques includes immobilizing a quantity of a selected sulfated glycosaminoglycan (SGAG) on a selected medium and adding to the immobilized SGAG on the medium a quantity of dissolved low fibrillar Aβ 1-40 (LFAβ). The LFAβ is added preferably in a Aβ:SGAG w/w ratio of about 1:1. SGAGs are preferably selected from heparin, heparan sulfate, keratan sulfate, dermatan sulfate, chondroitin-4-sulfate and chondroitin-6-sulfate. Screening methods and kits for screening either immobilize a quantity of a selected sulfated glycosaminoglycan (SGAG) on a selected medium, followed by adding to a quantity of dissolved low fibrillar Aβ 1-40 (LFAβ) a selected quantity of the selected amyloid therapeutic candidate to create a test solution, and then adding to the immobilized SGAG on the medium a selected quantity of the test solution to test for inhibition, or preform amyloid plaques on the medium by immobilizing a quantity of a selected sulfated glycosaminoglycan (SGAG) or a GAG-related macromolecule on a selected medium and then adding a selected quantity of dissolved low fibrillar Aβ 1-40 (LFAβ), followed by adding to the amyloid plaques on the medium a selected quantity of a test solution of a selected amyloid therapeutic candidate to test for disruption.

Abstract:
A method of inhibiting the inflammatory process, the method comprising administering to a mammal suffering from inflammation a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound where: R is a C1-C10 alkylene group, in which, when the number of carbon atoms is at least 2, there are optionally 1 or 2 non-adjacent double bonds; 1 to 3 non-adjacent methylene groups are optionally replaced by NR1 (where R1 is H, alkyl, or acyl), O, or S; and 1 or 2 methylene groups are optionally replaced by a carbonyl or hydroxymethylene group and pharmaceutically acceptable esters or salts of the compounds and wherein the inflammatory process results from a disease selected from the group consisting of ulcerative colitis, endotoxic shock, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, gout, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, vital or post-viral arthritis and ankylosing spondylarthritis.

Abstract:
Bis- and tris-dihydroxyaryl compounds and their methylenedioxy analogs and pharmaceutically acceptable esters, their synthesis, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and their use in the treatment of amyloid diseases, especially Aβ amyloidosis, such as observed in Alzheimer's disease, IAPP amyloidosis, such as observed in type 2 diabetes, and synucleinopathies, such as observed in Parkinson's disease, and the manufacture of medicaments for such treatment.
