Abstract: Certain simple chemical agents, referred to herein as nitrone related therapeutics or “NRTs”, when administered to a patient susceptible to neovascularization (angiogenesis), can intervene and inhibit the disease's progress. Methods for therapeutically and prophylactically inhibiting angiogenesis by administering one or more NRTs are disclosed as are pharmaceutical compositions for use in such methods of treating. NRTs useful in these compositions and therapeutic methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel &agr;-(2-hydroxyphenyl) nitrone compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds. The disclosed compositions are useful as therapeutics for inflammation-related conditions in mammals, such as arthritis, and as analytical reagents for detecting free radicals.

Abstract: A group of benzamide compounds are disclosed which are useful for treating neurodegenerative disorders. Methods for making these compounds are provided. These materials are formed into pharmaceutical compositions for oral or intravenous administration to patients suffering from conditions such as Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's which can exhibit themselves as progressive loss of central nervous system function. The compounds can arrest or slow the progressive loss of function.
