摘要:
Amyloid binding compounds which are non-azo derivatives of Chrysamine G, pharmaceutical compositions containing, and methods using such compounds to identify Alzheimer's brain in vivo and to diagnose other pathological conditions characterized by amyloidosis, such as Down's Syndrome are described. Pharmaceutical compositions containing non-azo derivatives of Chrysamine G and methods using such compositions to prevent cell degeneration and amyloid-induced toxicity in amyloidosis associated conditions are also described. Methods using non-azo Chrysamine G derivatives to stain or detect amyloid deposits in biopsy or post-mortem tissue are also described. Methods using non-azo Chrysamine G derivatives to quantify amyloid deposits in homogenates of biopsy and post-mortem tissue are also described.

摘要:
Compounds, compositions and methods for the detection and diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Derivative lycerophosphocholine (GPC) compounds are used as a detection and diagnostic aid to measure progression of Parkinson's disease by detecting GPC binding to α-synuclein. Derivative CPG compounds including non-radioactive, paramagnetic, and radioactive derivatives of GPC are presented. These compounds possess similar binding properties to original GPC molecules and are useful in medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or positron emission tomography (PET) applications. By employing these radiological techniques in conjunction with the compositions of the present invention, the detection, diagnosis and assessment of the progression of Parkinson's disease may be achieved.
摘要:
Biomarker diagnosis of chronic schizophrenia in the presence of cognitive impairment is confirmed when Phosphocreatine (PCr) levels are increased, compared to normal levels, in both the left and right prefrontal cortices of the brain, with increased PCr specifically also in the left basal ganglia and also reduced NA/Crt in the left superior temporal region of the brain. Biomarker differential diagnosis is also taught for chronic alcoholism (with or without cognitive impairment) and for chronic schizophrenia even when cognitive impairment is absent.

Compounds, compositions and methods for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Synthesized Glycerophosphocholine (GPC) may be used as a diagnostic aid to measure progression of Alzheimer's disease. GPC is a membrane phospholipid metabolite that is capable of binding specifically to the β-turn of beta amyloid (Aβ) peptide. Compounds including non-radioactive, paramagnetic, and radioactive derivatives of GPC are presented. These compounds possess similar binding properties to original GPC molecules and are useful in medical magnetic resonance imaging and/or positron emission tomography applications. By employing these radiological techniques in conjunction with the compositions of the present invention, the diagnosis and assessment of the progression of Alzheimer's disease may be achieved.
摘要:
Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) and L-carntine (LCAR) are nutraceuticals with indications in treating a variety of mental health disorders. A metabolomics-guided bioprocess method is presented to enhance ALCAR and LCAR formation in germinating plant seeds. Metabolic fluxes are manipulated by germination in bioreactors to increase oxygen availability as well as provide an aseptic environment to alter carbohydrate consumption and feedback repress gluconeogenesis. Large shifts in sunflower seed fatty acid, phospholipid and high-energy metabolism change the germination environment and these metabolic changes lead to an approximate 1000-fold increase in natural LCAR and ALCAR production by the seeds. The resulting LCAR and ALCAR products from the seeds are used for treating mental health disorders including Alzheimer's disease, geriatric depression, non-geriatric depression and schizophrenia.

摘要:
The invention is a method for the differential diagnosis of chronic schizophrenia or chronic alcoholism, by imaging the brain of a subject to detect any or all of the markers phosphocreatine (PCr), N-acetyl aspartate divided by the total creatine signal (NA/Crt), and synaptic phosphodiester (sPDE), and determining any increase or decrease in the presence of such markers compared to normal levels in specified anatomic areas of the brain. The output of such a method, resulting from such imaging, is presented to be viewed by a diagnostician in order to support the differential diagnosis based on the data output.

Carnitines are nutraceuticals with indications in treating a variety of mental health disorders. A metabolomics-guided bioprocess method is presented to produce longer chain fatty acid esters of carnitines such as polyunsaturated fatty acid esters including eicosapentaenoyl-L-carnitine and/or docosahexaenyl-L-carnitine in germinating plant seeds. The resulting products from the plant seeds are used as a natural nutritional source of powerful human antioxidants.
