Abstract:
Described herein are compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, which modulate the activity of store-operated calcium (SOC) channels. Also described herein are methods of using such SOC channel modulators, alone and in combination with other compounds, for treating diseases, disorders or conditions that would benefit from inhibition of SOC channel activity.

Abstract:
In accordance with the present invention, it has been discovered that compounds which modulate the ?-secretase enzyme to make more of the shorter, less toxic and less aggregation-prone Aß peptides (such as Aß37 and Aß38), while making less of the longer and more toxic and aggregation-prone AB peptides (such as AB40 and AB42) are useful as gamma-secretase modulators. In addition, these GSM compounds have further been discovered to have the selective property of modulating the formation of various AB peptides, while not inhibiting the overall activity of the ?-secretase enzyme. Thus, such compounds do not impede other critical functions of the ?-secretase enzyme, such as generating fragments from Notch that appear to control gene expression and cell differentiation. Therefore, in accordance with the present invention, there are provided screening assays useful for determining whether test compounds have GSM activity; accordingly, invention assays facilitate the identification of new gamma-secretase modulators. Such screening assays can be performed in a variety of ways, e.g., by assessing whether test compounds: lower the level of Aß42 peptide,increase the level of Aß37 and/or Aß38 peptides, have substantially no effect on the processing of other ?-secretase substrates, and/or interact with at least one component of the ?-secretase complex. Also provided in accordance with the present invention are compounds having gamma-secretase modulatory activity as identified by any of the methods described herein; methods for producing formulations useful for modulating gamma-secretase activity, as well as the resulting formulations; methods for modulating gamma-secretase activity employing compounds identified according to invention methods and/or invention formulations, and the like.
