Abstract: Methods for treating and reducing the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, including, without limitation Alzheimer's disease, are provided. The methods of the invention reduce or deplete neutrophil/myeloid cells in the region of the brain by blocking neutrophil/myeloid cell adhesion and interaction with the vascular endothelium, by blocking infiltration of neutrophil/myeloid cells into the brain, by reducing motility of neutrophil/myeloid cells in the parenchyma, by blocking A?-induced activation and adhesion of neutrophil/myeloid cells, and/or by blocking A?-induced integrin activation, degranulation and/or ROS release in neutrophil/myeloid cells.

Abstract: Methods for treating, preventing and reducing the progression of neurodegenerative and neurological diseases, including, without limitation Alzheimer's disease, are provided. The methods of the invention inhibit one or both of TIM-1 and P-selectin function and reduce leukocyte and platelet cell adhesion, activation and interaction with the vascular endothelium and infiltration of leukocytes into the brain.

Abstract: Methods are provided for the prevention and treatment of seizures and epilepsy. It is shown herein that leukocyte recruitment plays a key role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. Treatment with an agent that inhibits leukocyte recruitment has therapeutic and preventative effects in blocking recurrent seizures and epilepsy.

Abstract: The use of vacuolar ATPase inhibitors in the prevention and/or treatment of septic shock is herein described. Vacuolar ATPase inhibitors are selected among products of natural, semi-synthetic or synthetic origin.

Abstract: The use is described of compounds of formula (I) wherein A is chosen from a phenyl or a heterocyclic ring with 5 or 6 members containing up to two heteroatoms chosen from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur, X and Y represent carbon or nitrogen, and R1-R6 are as described in the specification, in the prevention and/or treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
