Abstract: The invention provides improved agents and methods for treatment of diseases associated with synucleinopathic diseases, including Lewy bodies of alpha-synuclein in the brain of a patient. Such methods entail administering agents that induce a beneficial immunogenic response against the Lewy body. The methods are particularly useful prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions for increasing the clearance of protein aggregates, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, and methods for making and using them, including methods for accelerating protein aggregate clearance in the CNS, e.g., for treating diseases that are characterized by protein aggregation—including some degenerative neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease. In one aspect, the compositions of the invention specifically target synuclein, beta-amyloid and/or tau protein aggregates, and the methods of the invention can be used to specifically prevent, reverse, slow or inhibit synuclein, beta-amyloid and/or tau protein aggregation. In alternative embodiments, the compositions and methods of the invention, are used to treat, prevent, reverse (partially or completely) or ameliorate (including slowing the progression of) degenerative neurological diseases related to or caused by protein aggregation, e.g., synuclein, beta-amyloid and/or tau protein aggregation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to certain heteroaromatic compounds of Formula (Ia), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and uses of such compounds in the treatment of synucleopathies.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound of formula (I): Wherein R1 is a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hetero- or homocyclic or a substituted or unsubstituted alicyclic hetero- or homocyclic group; R2 is an alkyl group with 1 to 18 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl or aryl group; R3 is a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hetero- or homocyclic or a substituted or unsubstituted alicyclic hetero- or homocyclic group; L is a single bond, an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, NHCO, O, S, NHCONH or NHCOO; X, Y and Z are independently O, N, NH, S or CH; W is a single bond or an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate of said compound or salt.

Abstract: The methodologies of the present invention demonstrate that a critical balance between pro- and anti-amyloidogenic molecules exists that regulates amyloid formation and cell death in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. ?-Synuclein, the non-amyloidogenic homologue of ?-synuclein, is a negative modulator of ?-synuclein and A? aggregation, having neuroprotective properties against ?-synuclein and A? neurotoxicity and that ?-synuclein and therapeutic agents derived therefrom block amyloidogenesis and neurodegeneration in vivo. The method of the present invention establishes that ?-synuclein blocks A? aggregation either by direct inhibition of A? amyloidogenesis or indirectly via either ?-synuclein or its 35 a.a. NAC region, inferring neuroprotective characteristics within the effected cells.
