  • Patent number: 9592234
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions comprising compounds useful for stimulating neurogenesis. The methods and compositions comprising compounds are also useful for inhibiting neuronal degeneration. Thus, the present invention can be used in the treatment of diseases and conditions characterized by neuronal loss and reduced neurogenesis including Alzheimer's disease, stroke, traumatic brain injury, traumatic nerve injury, and depression. This invention is useful for research products including single agents or mixtures of agents to promote, proliferate, differentiate, or maintain neurons from stem or progenitor cells.

  • Publication number: 20150250798
    Abstract: The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are believed to significantly inhibit Dyrk1a activity which suggests that the agents could provide therapeutic benefit for Down syndrome, since Dyrk1a overproduction in Down syndrome appears to account for the developmental cognitive impairment and reduction in neurogenesis. The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions, administered during early post-natal development, may increase neurogenesis and thereby reduce cognitive impairment which may ultimately allow individuals with Down syndrome to live a more independent life.
