Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for production of nerve growth factor (NGF) and muteins thereof, in particular muteins of human NGF. The process of the present invention yields nerve growth factor (NGF) and muteins thereof, e.g. from recombinant sources, at high purity. Aspects related to the process of the present invention, such as muteins obtainable thereby, are also described. The respective muteins may be characterized e.g. by improved detectability and/or reduced nociceptive activity, compared to wildtype human NGF.

Abstract: Administration of certain 1-phenylalkanecarboxylic acid derivatives is useful for improving Cognitive Function; treating Cognitive Impairment, in particular Mild Cognitive Impairment; and preventing and/or reducing the risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease in a cognitively normal subject.

Abstract: Derivatives of 1-(2-fluorobiphenyl-4-yl)-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid are useful for improving the cognitive capacity of patients with intellectual disabilities, an IQ of less than 85, diagnosed with mental retardation, and, most specifically, those with Down's syndrome.

Abstract: Administration of a 1-phenylalkanecarboxylic acid before, after, or a concurrently with a therapeutically effective amount of one or more of the following: (1) ?-amyloid peptides level reducers, (2) pathogenic level tau reducers, (3) microtubule stabilizers, (4) agents capable or removing atherosclerotic plaques, (5) agents that lower circulating levels of ?-amyloid and tau, (6) modulators of autophagy, (7) neurotransmitter levels regulators, (8) GABA(A) ?5 Receptor Antagonists, and (9) additional agents that help maintain and/or restore cognitive function and functional deficits of AD, and/or slow down decline in cognitive functions and functional deficits in AD, is useful for prevention or therapeutical treatment of proteinopathies and/or neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract: Derivatives of 1-(2-fluorobiphenyl-4-yl)-alkyl carboxylic acid are capable of stabilizing the tetrameric native state of transthyretin for the prophylaxis and treatment of amyloidosis.

Abstract: Pro-drugs of 1-(2-halo-biphenyl-4-yl)alkanecarboxylic acids are useful for preventing and/or treating neurodegenerative diseases, improving cognitive function and treating cognitive impairment.

Abstract: Polypeptide based on a tandem array of repeats of the N-terminal 7 amino acids of A?42, preferably positioned within the active loop site of a carrier such as bacterial thioredoxin (Trx) are useful for treating and/or preventing Alzheimer's disease. Antibodies raised against these recombinant constructs were found to have a very strong affinity for A?42.

Abstract: The present invention provides a recombinant immunogenic obtained by tandem multimerization of a B-cell epitope bearing fragment of A?42, within the active loop site of a carrier (display site), preferably bacterial thioredoxin (Trx). Polypeptides bearing multiple copies of A?42 fragments, preferably with an interposed amino acid linker, were constructed and injected into mice in combination with an adjuvant. Monoclonal antibodies were made which recognize the immunogenic construct comprising a carrier bearing at least one fragment of A?42 within an active loop site of the carrier. The elicited antibodies were found to selectively bind to fibrillar and/or oligomers A? within neuritic AD plaques.

Abstract: The present invention concerns novel derivatives of 1-phenylalkanecarboxylic acids, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, a process for their preparation and their use for the treatment and/or prevention of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: The present invention provides a recombinant immunogenic obtained by tandem multimerization of a B-cell epitope bearing fragment of A?42, within the active loop site of a carrier (display site), preferably bacterial thioredoxin (Yrx). Polypeptides bearing multiple copies of A?42 fragments, preferably with an interposed amino acid linker, were constructed and injected into mice in combination with an adjuvant. Elicited antibodies were found to selectively bind to fibrillar and/or oligomers A? within neuritic AD plaques.
