Abstract:
Disclosed is a levosimendan compound, an optically active isomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which is used for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases caused by tau aggregation or phosphorylation, such as neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer disease). In accordance with yet another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a health functional food for preventing or treating tau aggregation-related diseases, containing a levosimendan compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer or solvate thereof.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an N-(pyrazolylmethyl)arylsulfonamide derivative useful as a calcium ion channel blocker, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and the medicinal use thereof as a therapeutic agent using its calcium ion channel blocking effect.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a vector pair for screening tau oligomer formation, a mouse embryo introduced with the vector pair, a transgenic model mouse of neurological disease, obtained from the mouse embryo, and a method of screening a tau oligomer formation inhibitor candidate using the transgenic model mouse. More specifically, the present invention provides vector pair for screening tau oligomer formation, comprising: a first vector comprising a first tau gene, a first fluorescence protein gene and a first neuron-specific promoter; and a second vector comprising a second tau gene, a second fluorescence protein gene and a second neuron-specific promoter, wherein a protein expressed from the first fluorescence protein gene and a protein expressed from the second fluorescence protein gene bind to each other to display fluorescence, by association between a protein expressed from the first tau gene and a protein expressed from the second tau gene.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a carbazole compound having anti-virus activity, and more particularly, to a novel compound selected from the group of consisting of a carbazole compound which shows excellent anti-proliferative efficacy against hepatitis C virus (HCV), a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a hydrate thereof, and an isomer thereof; an anti-virus pharmaceutical composition including the novel compound as an active ingredient; a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating liver diseases caused by hepatitis C virus; and a method of preparing the novel compound.
