Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of lipophilic diesters of the chelating agent 1,2-bis(2 aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N’,N’-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA) for preventing, treating or managing atherosclerosis, amyloidosis-related diseases and disorders and other pathologies associated with proteins aggregations. In particular, these compounds are useful in treating cardiac and vascular amyloidosis, neurodegenerative diseases and disorders and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of lipophilic diesters of the chelating agent 1,2-bis(2 aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA) for inhibition of proteolytic activities of certain metalloproteinases and of calpain. The invention further relates to methods for preventing, treating or managing MMP-related and calpain-related diseases or disorders in mammals comprising administering to a mammal in need thereof, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of said lipophilic diesters of the chelating agent BAPTA.
