  • Patent number: 8329713
    Abstract: Compounds, compositions and methods are provided which are useful in the treatment of diseases through the modulation of potassium ion flux through voltage-dependent potassium channels. More particularly, the invention provides quinazolinone, compositions and methods that are useful in the treatment of central or peripheral nervous system disorders (e.g., migraine, ataxia, Parkinson's disease, bipolar disorders, trigeminal neuralgia, spasticity, mood disorders, brain tumors, psychotic disorders, myokymia, seizures, epilepsy, hearing and vision loss, Alzheimer's disease, age-related memory loss, learning deficiencies, anxiety and motor neuron diseases, maintaining bladder control or treating urinary incontinence) and as neuroprotective agents (e.g., to prevent stroke and the like) by modulating potassium channels associated with the onset or recurrence of the indicated conditions.

  • Patent number: 6288122
    Abstract: Novel inhibitors of potassium flux are disclosed. The inhibitors show surprising resistance to degradation in biological media and enhanced in vivo half-lives relative to non-fluorine substituted homologues. Methods for the use of these compounds include treating sickle cell disease, preventing erythrocyte dehydration and inhibiting potassium flux.
