Abstract:
Several embodiments relating to ultraviolet face shield systems and methods of use are provided herein. Such face shield systems feature an ultraviolet light source capable of inactivating, destroying, or killing germs, bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens such as human coronavirus COVID-19, and protecting individual(s) from infection.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various forms of an active, isolated β-secretase enzyme in purified and recombinant form. This enzyme is implicated in the production of amyloid plaque components which accumulate in the brains of individuals afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. Recombinant cells that produce this enzyme either alone or in combination with some of its natural substrates (β-APPwt and β-APPsw) are also disclosed, as are antibodies directed to such proteins. These compositions are useful for use in methods of selecting compounds that modulate β-secretase. Inhibitors of β-secretase are implicated as therapeutics in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract:
Dipeptide derived inhibitors of the β-secretase enzyme are provided which are useful in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other diseases characterized by deposition of Aβ peptide in a mammal. The compounds of the invention provide useful methods of treatment by administration of these inhibitors to reduce Aβ peptide formation and in pharmaceutical compositions.
Abstract:
Statine-derived peptide inhibitors of the β-secretase enzyme are provided which are useful in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other diseases characterized by deposition of Aβ peptide in a mammal. The compounds of the invention provide useful methods of treatment by administration of these inhibitors to reduce Aβ peptide formation and pharmaceutical compositions.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compounds of formula I and II that are bradykinin B1 receptor antagonists and are useful for treating diseases, or relieving adverse symptoms associated with disease conditions, in mammals mediated by bradykinin B1 receptor. Certain of the compounds exhibit increased potency and are also expected to exhibit increased duration of action.

Abstract:
Disclosed are compounds which inhibit β-amyloid peptide release and/or its synthesis, and, accordingly, have utility in treating Alzheimer's disease. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound which inhibits β-amyloid peptide release and/or its synthesis as well as methods for treating Alzheimer's disease both prophylactically and therapeutically with such pharmaceutical compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed toward substituted hydroxyethylene compounds of formulas (XII) (XIII), and (XIV) useful in treating Alzheimer's disease and other similar diseases.
