  • Patent number: 7902252
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel inhibitors of the enzyme D-amino acid oxidase. The compounds of the invention are useful for treating or preventing diseases and/or condition, wherein modulation of D-serine levels, and/or its oxidative products, is effective in ameliorating symptoms. The invention further provides methods of enhancing learning, memory and/or cognition. For example, the invention provides methods for treating or preventing loss of memory and/or cognition associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. The invention further provides methods for preventing loss of neuronal function characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, methods are provided for the treatment or prevention of neuropsychiatric diseases (e.g., schizophrenia) and for the treatment or prevention of pain and ataxia.

  • Patent number: 7884124
    Abstract: This invention provides novel inhibitors of the enzyme D-amino acid oxidase as well as pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds of the invention. The invention also provides methods for the treatment and prevention of neurological disorders, such as neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as pain, ataxia and convulsion. The compounds of the invention have the general structure: wherein A is NH or S. Q is a member selected from CR1 and N. X and Y are members independently selected from O, S, CR2, N and NH. R1, R2 and R4 are members independently selected from H and F, provided that at least one member selected from R1, R2 and R4 is F. R6 is a member selected from O?X+ and OH, wherein X+ is a positive ion, which is a member selected from inorganic positive ions and organic positive ions.
