Patent number: 8232402Abstract: Novel quinolinone farnesyl transferase inhibitors are provided. These new compounds are useful in the treatment or prevention of synucleinopathies, such as Parkinson's Disease, Diffuse Lewy Body Disease, multiple system atrophy, and disorders of brain iron concentration including pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (e.g., PANK1), or other neurodegenerative/neurological diseases. Provided compounds are also useful in the treatment of proliferative diseases such as cancer, and in the treatment of neurological diseases, such as cognitive impairment, depression, and anxiety. The treatment including administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of an inventive farnesyl transferase inhibitor compound.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2009Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: Link Medicine CorporationInventors: Peter T. Lansbury, Jr., Craig J. Justman, Ross A. Fredenburg, Robin Kate Meray, Mark E. Duggan, Peter Lin

Publication number: 20110294794Abstract: Methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a low dose of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor useful in the treatment of proteinopathies are provided. These low doses are below the doses used in oncological treatments for which these compounds were initially designed. The treatment includes administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor, wherein the amount is effective to inhibit the farnesylation of a non-Ras FTase substrate involved in the autophagy pathway without substantially affecting the farnesylation of Ras or other oncology related substrates. Treatments in accordance with the present invention may also include an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, an activator of neurotrophic receptors, an NMDA anatagonist, an amyloid deposit inhibitor, an antipsychotic agent, an antidepressant, an anxiolytic, or an antioxidant.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2009Publication date: December 1, 2011Applicant: Link Medicine CorporationInventors: Peter T. Lansbury, JR., Craig J. Justman, Tom N. Grammatopoulos, Berkley A. Lynch, Zhihua Liu

Publication number: 20110060005Abstract: Methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a low dose of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor useful in the treatment of proteinopathies and mitochondrial disorders are provided. These low doses are below the doses used in oncological treatments for which these compounds were initially designed. The treatment includes administering to a subject an amount of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor, wherein the amount administered is sufficient to stimulate mitophagy in said subject. Treatments in accordance with the present invention may also include an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, an activator of neurotrophic receptors, an NMDA anatagonist, an amyloid deposit inhibitor, an antipsychotic agent, an antidepressant, an anxiolytic, or an antioxidant.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2010Publication date: March 10, 2011Applicant: Link Medicine CorporationInventors: PETER T. LANSBURY, JR., CRAIG J. JUSTMAN, TOM N. GRAMMATOPOULOS, BERKLEY A. LYNCH, ZHIHUA LIU

Publication number: 20100331363Abstract: Methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a low dose of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor useful in the treatment of proteinopathies are provided. These low doses are below the doses used in oncological treatments for which these compounds were initially designed. The treatment includes administering to a subject an amount of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor, wherein the amount administered is sufficient to cause an improvement in mitochondrial health in said subject. Treatments in accordance with the present invention may also include an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, an activator of neurotrophic receptors, an NMDA anatagonist, an amyloid deposit inhibitor, an antipsychotic agent, an antidepressant, an anxiolytic, or an antioxidant.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2010Publication date: December 30, 2010Applicant: Link Medicine CorporationInventors: Peter T.
