Abstract:
The present invention relates to human Akt3 proteins and polypeptides. The invention also relates to isolated nucleic acids encoding human Akt3, to vectors containing them and to their therapeutic uses, in particular for gene therapy. Expression of Akt3 inhibits cell death associated with hypoxia, apoptosis or necrosis.
Abstract:
A method for inhibiting casein kinase Iε activity, comprising administering to said patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I. its stereoisomer, enantiomer, racemate, tautomer or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Abstract:
An aqueous pharmaceutical composition which is capable of being sprayed into the nasal cavity of an individual and which comprises: (A) a pharmaceutically effective amount of solid particles of medicament which is effective in treating a bodily condition by virtue of its being present on the mucosal surfaces of the nasal cavity; and (B) a suspending agent in an amount effective to maintain said particles dispersed uniformly in the composition and to impart to the composition the following thixotropic properties: (i) the viscosity of the position in unsheared form is relatively high, with the composition being in gel-like form; (ii) as the composition is subjected to shear (shaken) in preparation for spraying, the viscosity of the composition becomes relatively low and such that the composition in the form of a mist flows readily into the nasal passages for deposit on the mucosal surfaces of the nasal cavity; and (D) in deposited form on the mucosal surfaces, the viscosity of the composition is relatively high and such that it resists being cleared from the mucosal surfaces by the inherent mucocillary forces which are present in the nasal cavity, a method of use of the composition and a method for preparation of the composition, including in preferred form the use of anti-inflammatory steroid, for example, triamcinolone acetonide, and an odorless form of the composition.
Abstract:
Methods for the treatment of a patient suffering from a disease or disorder ameliorated by inhibition of casein kinase Iε activity comprising the administration of a compounds of formula (I) and formula (II) as inhibitors of human casein kinase Iε, and methods of using the compounds of formula (I) and formula (II) for treating central nervous system diseases and disorders including mood disorders and sleep disorders. The R-group substituents are defined herein and pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of formula (I) or formula (II) useful in the claimed methods of treatment are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compounds of formula I: a stereoisomer or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the variables R1, R2, R3, R4, X and n are defined as defined herein. Additionally, a method for treating dopamine-related neurological disorders selected form the group consisting of neurological, psychological, cardiovascular, cognitive or attention disorders, substance abuse and addictive behavior, or a combination thereof, comprising administering to a patient in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of compounds of formula I.
Abstract:
The invention relates to heterocyclic substituted carbonyl derivatives that display selective binding to dopamine D3 receptors. In another aspect, the invention relates to a method for treating central nervous system disorders associated with the dopamine D3 receptor activity in a patient in need of such treatment comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of said compounds for alleviation of such disorder. The central nervous system disorders that may be treated with these compounds include Psychotic Disorders, Substance Dependence, Substance Abuse, Dyskinetic Disorders (e.g. Parkinson's Disease, Parkinsonism, Neuroleptic-Induced Tardive Dyskinesia, Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome and Huntington's Disease), Dementia, Anxiety Disorders, Sleep Disorders, Circadian Rhythm Disorders and Mood Disorders. The subject invention is also directed towards processes for the preparation of the compounds described herein as well as methods for making and using the compounds as imaging agents for dopamine D3 receptors.
Abstract:
