摘要:
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.

The invention relates to the field of biology, genetics and medicine. In particular, the invention relates to novel methods for the detection, characterization and/or treatment (or management) of neurodegenerative pathologies. The invention also relates to methods for the identification or screening of compounds active in the aforementioned pathologies. The invention further relates to the compounds, genes, cells, plasmids or compositions which are used to carry out said methods. In particular, the invention is based on the identification of the role of phosphodiesterase 4B, the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) and GABA receptors of the type GABA(A) in neurodegenerative pathologies and describes the use of same as therapeutic, diagnostic or experimental markers or targets for said disorders.

The invention relates to compositions and methods for treating nervous disorders. More particularly, the invention relates to methods of treating amyloïd 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 amyloïd beta peptide-related disorders, based on a determination of the ability of a test compound to inhibit Rac1.

摘要:
The invention relates to methods which are used to improve, increase or facilitate the cognition of individuals with neurodegenerative pathologies. More specifically, the invention relates to the use of compounds from the family of pyrazolopyridines in order to improve the cognitive faculties of individuals with neurodegenerative diseases. The invention can be used to improve the condition of individuals with different neurodegenerative diseases and, in particular, Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
The invention relates to compounds and their uses, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. The invention more specifically relates to new uses of compounds that inhibit the prenylation of proteins, in particular the geranylgeranyl and/or farnesyl modifications of proteins, for treating neurodegeneration involving oxidative stress and, more particularly, Parkinson's disease. The invention also relates to corresponding methods of treatment, and can be used in human subjects for preventive or curative treatment, either alone is or in combination with other active agents or treatments.
摘要:
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.
