Abstract: The present invention provides an in vivo platform for identifying and determining therapeutic or prophylactic activity of test compounds in delay-type hypersensitivity (DTH) and other inflammatory or cancerous diseases mediated by activation of IKK-?C46A mutants. The in vivo platform of the present invention is a non-human transgenic mammal, e.g., a mouse model, with a site directed mutagenesis at a cysteine residue replaced by alanine in IKK-? protein kinase. The site directed mutagenesis is introduced by a specially designed targeting vector containing a transversion in exon 3 of the Ikbkb genes encoding the IKK-?. The present invention also provides methods for generating the transgenic mammal and for determining and identifying compounds that can inhibit activation of IKK-?C46A mutants.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of treating neurodegenerative disorder comprising administering an effective amount of an alkaloid which is a bisbenzylisoquinline alkaloid isolated from the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Nelumbo nucifera. The pharmaceutical composition thereof for treating Huntington's disease is also disclosed.
