Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of zinc complexes of natural amino acids, especially L-arginine, L-lysine, L-ornithine, and other natural amino acids, in a molar ratio of about 1:2 (metal:amino acid), and formulations thereof. These pharmaceutical compositions offer better tolerated and faster acting regimens than common zinc salts (i.e., acetate, sulfate, etc.) for long term maintenance therapy of diseases caused by abnormal elevated copper levels, such as in Wilson's disease, inflammatory and fibrotic diseases and Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: This invention concerns compounds of adamantanamines and neramexane, including their pharmaceutically-acceptable salts, diesterioisomers, and formulations for treating Alzheimer's related dementias, depression, AIDS related dementias, as antivirals, inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and cerebral ischemia, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes.

Abstract: This invention concerns adamantanamines (e.g. memantine, amantadine, and rimantadine) and neramexane salts of thiomolybdic and thiotungstic acids, including their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions, as dual acting drugs. These salts are used to treat or potentially arrest the neurodegenerative pathophysiology, clinical signs and symptoms of dementia of the Alzheimer's type, Parkinson's, Huntington's, AIDS-related dementia and Schizophrenia and its cognitive deficits. Additional uses of these derivatives include antiviral activity.

Abstract: The present invention discloses novel dual prodrug compounds of formula (1), methods for their preparation and intermediates in their syntheses, formula (1): wherein A is a single bond, —O—, or —CH2—; m and n vary independently and are an integer from 1 to 15; p and q vary from 0 to an integer from 1 to 4; B is a single bond or —CR3R4; D is formula (2): or formula (3): and X is halogen; R1 to R4 are various substituents selected to optimize the physiochemical and biological properties such as, lipophilicity, bioavailability, and pharmacokinetics of compounds of Formula 1; and R1 and R2 or R3 and R4 may optionally be tethered together to form a 3- to 7-membered alicyclic ring. These compounds are useful for the treatment of various infections, metabolic, cardiovascular and neurological disorders.

Abstract: Compounds of Formula 1 are dual prodrug compounds of the formula The various terms in Formula 1 are selected to optimize the physiochemical and biological properties such as, lipophilicity, bioavailability, and pharmacokinetics of compounds of Formula 1. These compounds are useful for the treatment of diabetes.
