Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of specific compounds related to the indolocarbazole K252a, for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of various forms of cancer.

Abstract: The present invention refers to the use of a specific indolocarbazole compound of general formula (1) or a pharmaceutically-acceptable a salt thereof for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of a neurode-generative and/or dementing illness driven by the molecular pathology of microtubule-associate tau such as Alzheimer's disease, frontal lobe dementia, Pick's disease, Parkinson disease with dementia, corticobasal degeneration, argyrophilic grains disease, or supranuclear palsy. A method for treating or preventing such illnesses is also disclosed. Furthermore, methods for the identification of efficacious inhibitors of neurofibrillary degeneration, and methods for the determination of an appropriate dosage of an inhibitor of the PHF-type tau hyperphosphorylation for the treatment of a condition characterized by neurofibrillary pathology are described.

Abstract: This invention relates to N-carbacycle monosubstituted indolocarbazole compounds. Furthermore, this invention relates to medicaments comprising N-carbacycle monosubstituted indolocarbazoles compounds and the use of such compounds for treating non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, acute stroke and other neurotraumatic injuries, for treating diabetes mellitus, as a chemotherapeutic for the treatment of various malignant diseases, for treating diseases caused by malfunctioning of specific signaling pathways, and for treating neurodegenerative diseases such as for example Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for modeling aspects of Alzheimer's disease (AD), in particular the present invention relates to methods for modeling abnormal tau hyperphosphorylation ast he key Stepp to the process of neurofibrillary degeneration and tau aggregation.

Abstract: Novel indolocarbazole derivatives potentially useful for the treatment of dementias characterized by tau hyperphosphorylation [Alzheimer's disease (AD), frontal lobe degeneration (FLD), argyrophilic grains disease, subacute sclerotising panencephalitis (SSPE) as a late complication of viral infections in the CNS], and cancer.
