    Abstract: There are provided, inner alia, compounds and methods for lowering total AB peptide production by inhibiting the catalytic activity of gamma-secretase. Since all of the major AB peptide variants, including the pathogenic AB42 as known in the art, are ultimately generated by gamma-secretase-mediated proteolysis of APP-C99 (i.e., the beta-secretase-mediated cleavage product of the amyloid protein precursor IAPPI), one approach to therapeutic intervention (e.g., intervention in Alzheimer's Disease, AD) relates to lowering total AB peptide production by inhibiting the catalytic activity of gamma-secretase.

    Abstract: CA-IX levels are predictive of the probability that a cancer patient will respond favorably to cancer therapy involving administration of a hypoxia-activated prodrug. In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for treating cancer comprising the steps of measuring CA-IX levels in a sample isolated from the patient, and administering a hypoxia-activated prodrug only if the CA-IX level measured is equal to or greater than about 30 pg/mL (e.g. 28.8 pg/mL) CA-IX protein in a serum sample, as may be measured, for example or without limitation, using an ELISA. In one embodiment, a HAP is administered if the measured CA-IX level is equal to or greater than about 75 pg/mL (e.g. 77.1 pg/mL) protein in a serum sample. Thus, in one embodiment, the CA-IX level is measured based on the amount of CA-IX protein in a serum sample.
